Recently, the name of Birka Paradise has been changed to Birka Stockholm. Birka Stockholm is operated by Birka Cruises and was specifically built for one night Stockholm - Mariehamn - Stockholm cruises at Aker Finnyards, Rauma, now part of Meyer Turku. A notable feature of the vessel is the pool area 'Paradise Beach' which is equipped with light fixtures providing the illusion of sunlight. Birka Stockholm was the 'theme vessel' of the Designs 05 issue of Shippax and received the 2005 Cruise Concept Award.
