Full description

Stockholm’s inner archipelago begins right in front of the old town. This guided cruise leaves from the city centre and loops past Gamla Stan, Skeppsholmen and the green shores of Djurgården, then heads out towards the first of the archipelago islands with their painted summer houses and small jetties.

A guide on board brings the views to life with stories about Stockholm’s trading past, royal history and the islands’ traditions. Some departures include a drink; tell us what matters to you and we’ll find the best match for your dates.

Can I get off along the way?

No, it's a round trip that returns to the departure quay.
