Finnlines Plc, Press release, Helsinki, 29 November 2023
Christmas on M/S Finnsirius, which is the latest arrival in the Finnlines fleet, is made of Christmas menus at the buffet restaurant and at the à la carte restaurant and live music. Christmas spirit and entertainment can be enjoyed until Epiphany. Finnsirius debuted on the Finnlines route between mainland Finland, Åland and Sweden in September.
What is Christmas without delicious flavours? On Finnsirius, the dining concept is based on local, seasonal ingredients, produced in a sustainable manner. At the buffet restaurant, Cargo, Christmas delicacies are served at lunch time and the à la carte restaurant, Micke’s, has a special Christmas menu. Ship’s other restaurants and bars also serve Christmassy specialties, like a variety of mulled wines and pastries. Season’s delicacies are served between 1 December 2023 and 6 January 2024.
”Finnsirius has got off to a flying start and we are delighted to produce a first-class experience at Christmas-themed tables in the Baltic Sea,” says Marco Palmu, Head of Passenger Services at Finnlines.

During the holiday season, Finnsirius will be filled with musical splendour when live performers enter the stage. First in line is the duo Kruuvaus on 26–28 December. On 28–30 December troubadour Tuomas Lehto entertains passengers. Around New Year, on 30 December – 1 January, another duo, Emma Balbatsu and Tuomas Lehto, turn the cruise into an unforgettable experience.

Passengers can also enjoy the sea view in the covered terrace or in the luxurious spa, in its outdoor jacuzzi, yoga studio and gym.
