Day cruise with the family

Book a family cruise

A boat trip with Eckerö Linjen is a perfect cruise for families. It's just as exciting for the kids as it is convenient for the adults – whether you want to explore Åland with the family or enjoy a fun day cruise with the children. Welcome to a family cruise across the Åland Sea!

Family Cruise Prices

We aim to offer an enjoyable and affordable family cruise experience for everyone, hence we have discounted prices for children. Children aged 6–11 travel for nearly half the price, and children up to 5 years old travel for free.

Booking online is not only the most convenient way to book your family cruise, but it's also our most cost-effective option.

Onboard Activities During a Cruise with Children

A cruise with children is never dull! Onboard, there's a challenging quiz and our popular playroom, Skepp o´skoj. The playroom features fun games and an exciting pirate ship with a slide. You can also purchase our activity booklet for only SEK 20 at the duty-free shop or at the information desk on Deck 5.

When hunger strikes, there are several options suitable for families. A natural choice during the family cruise is, of course, our buffet, where all family members can find their favorites. Buffé Bornholm serves both breakfast/brunch buffets and various seasonal buffets, such as archipelago buffet, Easter buffet, and Christmas buffet.

At Kafé Käringssund, you'll find coffee and various hot dishes. Of course, children's favorite food like meatballs and ice cream are also available. Bistro Byholma serves delicious grilled dishes and pastries.

In our large duty-free shop, the family can find bargains including drinks, sweets, and cosmetics.
