Details

Explore Stockholm’s waterways and bridges on this sightseeing cruise, designed to show you the city from a unique perspective. As you relax on board, the boat passes under all 15 bridges connecting the central islands of the Stockholm archipelago.

Glide around tranquil Djurgården, capture views of the colorful townhouses in Gamla Stan (Old Town), and pass through the locks that connect the city’s canals to the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren. Listen to live commentary in English on board, or use your phone to access an audio guide in other languages.

The cruise also circles Södermalm and passes the quays of Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm’s modern district. Enjoy views of Lilla and Stora Essingen islands, and sail by Djurgården’s woodlands, parks, and museums.

Very pleased, relaxing and informative with on board refreshments and restroom facilities. Would give the staff a 9/10 as they could of come round and sold and served refreshment. That would have been good for business. Maybe something to think about in future.

A nice 2 hour boat ride around the lakes and the canals of Stockholm. Gives a very different perspective of the city when seen from the water. The only issue is the audio guide is often not sync. with the view

It was an excellent tour. It is a small boat and there were about 10 guests. The captain was excellent and provided very interesting information about the city. I especially enjoyed getting out at old fort on an island in the harbor.

"Good view of Stockholm from the water. Note that the departure times are 11am and 2pm. Viator originally listed 10 am so we were at the docks way too early. The open deck at the rear of the boat is best for unobstructed picture taking but it can get cold there."

It is out and back so you see the same things twice. The in-your-ear audio system was not synced to the loudspeakers and malfunctioned. I will say I recommend this because it is a good way to see the city.
