Duration: approx. 4 hours

Spend a few hours off the ship to explore the sights of Stockholm, Sweden’s capital and largest city. Thanks to its civic beauty, appealing architecture, clean and open waterways as well as numerous parks, the lovely city is sometimes referred to as the “Venice of the North”. Your tour of the city will take you past the impressive buildings of the National Museum, the Royal Theatre and the Grand Hotel, before stopping at the Royal Palace to visit some of its beautifully appointed rooms. You can also look forward to a short walk through Stockholm’s picturesque historical city centre, a great place to take some photos. A certain highlight of the tour will be your guided tour of the fascinating and literally ship-shaped Vasa Museum, whose most iconic exhibit is without doubt the wreck of the Vasa, a Swedish 64-gun warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. Your last stop on this entertaining tour will be along the Fjällgatan road to enjoy the wonderful views of the city centre from this elevated vantage point. Your sightseeing tour of Sweden’s capital comes to a close with your return to the pier and your ship.

Situated at the point where Lake Mäleren meets the Baltic Sea and with a city centre made up of 14 islands that form part of the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden’s capital city is an incredibly green metropolis with a third of its surface area given over to parks, woodland and its scenic waterways. After boarding a modern and comfortable motorboat, the tour continues with a relaxing cruise along some of Stockholm’s waterways and canals. A unique and enjoyable vista unfolds before your eyes, letting you experience the city’s elegant architecture, verdant parklands and wide, tree-lined boulevards from a fresh perspective. As there are countless photo opportunities along the way, you are advised to take a camera. Your tour comes to an end with your return to the port and your ship.
