Restaurants and bars on Finnlines ferries

Meals on Finnlines ferries is a special experience! On board, you will find buffet restaurants where you can enjoy many different dishes and tastes. There are also options for families with kids.

On the 30-hour ferry trip from Travemünde to Helsinki meals are served at the Mare Balticum restaurant. Its delicious buffet is based on Finnish and German cuisine delicacies, and has special themes from May to October. The Bar & Bistro Navigare has an informed list of drinks (with an emphasis on bubbles!). For mouthwatering snacks, such as salmon sandwiches and cinnamon bus, you will hang out at Star Café.

On ferries from Travemünde to Malmö, you will also enjoy a quality buffet with a variety of options. Pick the meal package that suits you best: there are two-meal deals for day/night departures, as well as breakfast+brunch and night snack options.

Tip: it’s best to choose and book a meal package in advance so you can save some money.

On Kapellskär - Långnäs and Kapellskär - Naantali ferries buffet meals are always included in the ticket fare. Have a snack and refreshments at the Bar & Bistro Navigare and relax at the Panorama Lounge living room, for the best archipelago views.
