Silja Serenade

Operated by Tallink Silja Line on the Helsinki Stockholm, Mariehamn Helsinki & Mariehamn Stockholm routes

The luxurious Silja Serenade can carry up to 2,850 passengers and once onboard you’ll feel like you’re on a city break in the middle of Europe. In early 2014 Silja Serenade went over an 6 week makeover to enhance its luxurious travel experience. At the centre of the ship is the Promenade where you’ll find a wide variety of shops, fascinating cafés and high class restaurants. In terms of facilities the Silja Serenade is one of the finest ships in its class and meets the high standards found on all Silja ships.

Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

There’s a huge choice of cabins onboard the Silja Serenade ranging from standard inside cabins with bunk beds to luxury suites. All cabins are en-suite, air conditioned and contain a wardrobe, hair dryer, radio and telephone. During the re-fit a couple of the major changes were made to commodore suite, lounge area and three brand new elegant junior suites added to its already outstanding range of accommodation.

Onboard Food and Drink

Silja Serenade’s restaurants serve delicious dishes to suit all tastes. There are the incredible creations that come out of the newly refurbished Bon Vivant restaurant, the world renowned seafood platter from the Happy Lobster, or indeed the many different varieties that come from the new created Grill House. You’ll also find a beautiful Italian restaurant, Tavolàta Ristorante Italiano where the menu is stylish but also relaxed offering many portions to share, and the brand new Fast Lane restaurant, which offers both full meals, as well as quick snacks. For a bit of everything head to the Grande Buffet to fill your plate with roe, shrimps, traditional island dishes or tapas. For a snack try Mundo restaurant on the promenade.
