The Nordic gaming company Paf will deliver the gaming entertainment onboard the M/S Birka Gotland. The cruise ship belongs to the newly founded shipping company Gotland Alandia Cruises. The ship will offer its first cruises in the spring of 2024.

Together they have founded a new shipping company Gotland Alandia Cruises AB, which owns the cruise ship M/S Birka Gotland. Paf will deliver the gaming entertainment to the shipping company.

“We are really looking forward to starting our cooperation straight away. We want to contribute with a good concept for the games onboard. It will be an exciting challenge to get all the new gaming machines and table games in place in the coming months,” says Jannik Svahnström, Head of New Sales at Paf.
