Description
See Stockholm from the water on a classic archipelago vessel departing from Skeppsbron, next to the Royal Palace. The cruise navigates through the lush Djurgården Canal before reaching the islands of the Stockholm Archipelago.

You can enjoy the fresh Baltic air on panoramic outdoor decks or relax inside the heated salon with large windows, suitable for any season. The boat features vintage charm, and the friendly crew is available to answer questions as you take in views of sailboats, seabirds, and the changing coastline.
A traditional Swedish fika is included, consisting of one hot drink (coffee or tea) and one pastry per person. Additional snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the onboard café. This cruise suits those seeking a relaxing sightseeing tour close to the city center.
