From the heart of Stockholm, you'll sail into the Stockholm Archipelago and watch the city fade into a landscape of sparkling waterways, charming summer houses and rugged rocky shores. As the urban scene gives way to island scenery, you'll enjoy wide, panoramic views from the boat and can buy drinks and snacks at the bar on board.

Along the way, an English-speaking guide will share stories about the surrounding sights, the history of the archipelago, the boat itself, the Swedish royal family, local traditions and more. The tour departs from in front of the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan; look for the Stockholm RED Sightseeing tour kiosk next to the Gustav III Statue, where your journey into the archipelago begins.
