What To Expect

Discover Stockholm's waterways and the highlights of its archipelago with this boat tour from Strandvagen. After boarding the boat, sail through the Stockholm Canals while listening to onboard commentary about the city’s history and famous landmarks from your guide.

This Stockholm Archipelago cruise allows you to appreciate the capital city's beauty and see waterfront highlights that are easily bypassed on the mainland. It's also a practical option to get great photos of both local scenery and historical sites.

This boat tour in Sweden goes all the way to the remote archipelago town of Vaxholm—somewhere many travelers visiting Stockholm miss—before heading back to the starting point to conclude the scenic journey.

We had an awesome guide, Åsa, with tons of stories that made the trip so lovely. It was fun listening to her nice voice talking about all kinds of things while the beauty of the scenery sunk into our eyes...

Beautiful trip of the archipelagos.

Lucy_S, May 2024

Great trip, very knowledgeable guide and all staff were very helpful and accommodating when we arrived a few minutes late due to problems with our taxi.

Fun interesting experience

Elise_K, May 2024

Very neat experience! The information was interesting and there was lots of seating even though there were many of us. It was very cold in May on the water but they had blankets which made it much better. Depending on which side of the boat you sit on, you will only see that side unless you move around or sit inside and look out.

Great archipelago cruise

johnchic, May 2024

This is a great cruise, but if I had the choice, I would do the longer version. If short on time hour and a half, gives you a good taste.

Poor guided tour. Limited narration

FWFDAN, May 2024

Tour was advertised as 2.5 to 3 hours. Technical delay of 30 minutes and we were back in 2 hours. Would not recommend.

Nice Boat Tour

Terry_K, May 2024

Very well organized and good lecture in English. Highly recommend this trip, it was on time, clean boat with a nice snack bar.

Kym_M, May 2024

Take This Tour

Jodi_M, May 2024

Our guide was fantastic. Loved that he had so much knowledge about the area. Seeing islands in the archipelago that I never would have otherwise was without a doubt worth every second of the trip.

Spend your money elsewhere

Amy_K, May 2024

I regretted going on this cruise. It was packed - frankly overbooked - with not enough room for everyone to sit outside. You could barely even stand outside as the outdoor space was so limited. Inside it was hard to see the sights (small windows). Overall really disappointed. Would not recommend at all. Save your money and charter a private tour with your friends or opt for a smaller day cruise. You’ll get a lot more out of it and be more comfortable for the 2.5 hrs or so it took to cruise around the islands.

Nice view but overall it...

Katerina_V, Apr 2024

Nice view but overall it was kind of boring. I liked a lot the stories/gossip about the buildings we saw.

Nice experience, nice view

Wiktoria_K, Apr 2024

Incredible landscapes we have discovered thanks to this experience. We catch a side of Stockholm that we could not see otherwise. Blankets are very nice if there is a little too much wind. Vey nice experience, would recommend.

Great trip

Rebekah_G, Apr 2024

The guide was really good amd informative, the boat was clean and had really good facilities. Very good value for money.

Not worth it

FEDERICA_R, Apr 2024

The boat was overcrowded with a very poor view. It was overall a waste of time. I would recommend to spend the time in one of the many museums instead.

Della_D, Apr 2024

Arrived at the boat 45 mins before departure. Huge queue. Scanned us on then more and more people got on. Struggling to find a seat. Overcrowded. Announced once boat departed that there was a cliched system so was overbooked!!! Tour Gide on speaker very boring. Not very good visibility on lower deck Overall very disappointing.

The tour guide was one of the best I’ve ever had. The views were amazing and the trip was spectacular. A must see for visiting Bergen.
