Enjoy a traditional Christmas buffet prepared in the ship’s galley. On the aft deck, our generous buffet is set with seasonal favorites like blackcurrant herring, cured venison, honey-glazed ribs, and irresistible treats — all while we glide through the archipelago.
A steamship journey — with seven rounds at the Christmas buffet.
No Christmas buffet is complete without herring – tradition says a proper julbord should be enjoyed in seven rounds. And it’s no coincidence that herring comes first.
Our herring is seasoned and pickled according to our own recipes. Among our twelve varieties, you’ll find both timeless classics and bold new flavors. Which one will be your new favorite?
After the classic start with herring, it’s time for the next highlight: salmon.
Our cold kitchen’s gravlax, cured with fennel and dill, is served alongside both hot- and cold-smoked salmon and our homemade seafood terrine.
Since the late 1800s, Christmas ham has been a cherished centerpiece of the julbord – a symbol of abundance, warmth, and togetherness.
Ours is freshly baked with mustard crust and accompanied by house-made pâtés, cognac-cured venison, smoked cold cuts, and even traditional pig’s feet.
These are the dishes that fill the aft salon with the scents, warmth, and soul of Christmas:
Honey-glazed ribs, kale with wood-smoked pork, “Janssons frestelse” (a creamy potato and anchovy gratin), and of course, our head chef’s homemade meatballs – all beautifully arranged on a warming tray lit with candles.
Once the warm dishes have satisfied your hunger and the herring has sung its song, it’s time for the next act: the cheeses. Not quite the finale, but a gentle transition.
Soft, hard, creamy, and local – a variety of cheeses await, with the red Christmas Edamer reigning supreme.
As dessert is enjoyed and glasses are raised for a warming cognac, the silhouette of Gamla Stan (Old Town) begins to appear as we steam into Stockholm’s harbor.
Sweet treats like “änglamat” (a creamy fruit dessert), crispy rosettes, and “ris à la Malta” take us back to Christmases of the past.
Le grand final!
Brittle toffee, silky chocolate bites, caramels in crinkling wrappers, peppermint kisses, and dark nut brittles – sweet flavors that complete the Christmas buffet experience.
