What to take with you on a party boat?
The right equipment will make your biler cruise more enjoyable than ever. Dressing for the weather is important, because although the M/S Emma is well equipped, it can be cooler at sea than on the mainland. On sunny days, sunglasses, a light jacket and sunscreen are good equipment, while on cooler evenings you should be prepared with warmer clothing.
Payment methods on board include cash and the most common credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and Amex. Local payment is the recommended method to speed up service at the bar. Please note that you are not allowed to bring your own drinks or food on board.
It's also worth taking along:
- ID (especially if you look young)
- Camera or smartphone to record memories
- Some cash for possible situations
- Motion sickness medication for those prone to seasickness (even though the M/S Emma doesn't exactly rock)
Please note that there is no luggage storage on board, so avoid taking unnecessary items. Pets are also not allowed on cruises.
What food and beverage services are available on board?
The Bilelaiv has a comprehensive food and beverage service, which you should take into account in advance. Taco fiesta buffet is the most popular food option, which you can book when you buy your ticket. Adding a buffet meal in advance will be cheaper than adding one on site.
The ship's bar offers a wide range of refreshments - both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, both mild and strong. Drinks are charged separately on the spot. Tobacco products are not sold on board, so smokers should be prepared for this in advance.
It is not allowed to bring your own snacks or drinks on board. The focus of the Biler Cruise is on fun and partying, so the on-board catering is designed to support this experience. If you have special dietary requirements, you should contact SunLines in advance for any special arrangements.
How to prepare for the perfect party at sea?
A successful party at sea requires a little preparation. Book your tickets in time for your group of friends and clearly agree on a time and place to meet. It's a good idea to arrive at the departure point about 15-30 minutes before the cruise leaves, so that you have plenty of time to board the ship and find comfortable seats for your group.
During your cruise, make the most of the ship's various facilities - the sun terrace for admiring the beautiful scenery and the dance floor for partying. You'll get more out of the evening if you're open to new encounters and get into the mood.
And remember to party in moderation - you'll be sure to enjoy a great seascape and good vibes throughout the cruise. The most important thing is to enjoy a unique party experience at sea and create memories that will last a long time.
Well prepared, the party boat offers a memorable experience combining the beautiful scenery of the Helsinki archipelago, good music, dancing and fun company. With SunLines party cruises you can enjoy all this in a pre-arranged package!
