Stockholm Archipelago Guided Cruise
Stockholm was born where granite cliffs meet the sea. And to really experience the city, you need more than a walk through its streets — you need to see it from the water.
We invite you to explore the Stockholm Archipelago, a fascinating maze of nearly 30,000 large and small islands. This unique world of water and rock is dotted with traditional red wooden houses, where everyday life unfolds in close harmony with nature.
Feel the fresh Baltic breeze and discover Sweden’s maritime side on this scenic cruise. A comfortable historic vessel departs from the very heart of Stockholm. Along the way, you’ll see cathedral spires and elegant façades reflected in the water, before the view opens up to lighthouses, fishing harbors, pine-covered shores, and the wide horizons of the Baltic Sea.
On board, you’ll enjoy a comfortable setting and a relaxed atmosphere: a light snack, or simply watch the islands drift by through the windows.
An experienced guide will share stories, legends, and highlights of the archipelago (commentary in Swedish and English), making the journey both informative and engaging.
Cruise options:
- 1.5-hour cruise. Departs from Strandvägen waterfront and follows the central waterways of Stockholm. You’ll pass the Old Town, enjoy views of the Royal Palace and Skeppsbron quay, and reach Fjäderholmarna — the first island of the Stockholm Archipelago.
- 2.5-hour cruise. Departs from Strandvägen and sails past Djurgården and Södermalm, continuing deeper into the archipelago as far as the island of Tynningö.
- 3-hour cruise. Departs from Strandvägen and passes Djurgården and Södermalm before reaching Vaxholm— the “capital of the archipelago,” located on the island of Vaxön.
Unforgettable views, fresh sea air, and a deep sense of calm — everything you need to fall in love with Sweden even more.
