Do you love shrimps? Do you love the archipelago? Then book a seat in the restaurant aboard the M/S Göteborg to enjoy an unbeatable shrimp and archipelago combo! Eat as many shrimp as you can manage – when the bowl is empty, a new one will appear! The shrimp are served with classic accompaniments, such as aoili, mayonnaise, bread and butter. And best of all?
