Can’t say that this experience worth the 80€ we paid. We got a ticket in advance, days before the cruise, in order to secure no wait and some seats inside. But, there was large queue, so in case you decide to take the tour, arrive 1+ hour earlier. We enter the boat, 0 seats available inside, only outside. Everyone got the available blankets, which means that you cannot stand outside during December. We ended going inside, siting on an IKEA chair, not having a view to anywhere … Also, we were next to the kitchen, where door was open, we could see the cleaning , the plates, the noise. There was a chaos
We wasn’t many people on the tour but me and my company really felt like the crew on board took well care of us. The weather was rough but sitting inside was still a great experience. There was this lovely little lady in the bar that was very kind. The guide was good aswell.
We arrived about half an hour early for the Stockholm archipelago boat tour and were surprised to see quite a line already forming. Thankfully, getting there early meant we secured favorable seats by a window, so if you plan to go, definitely arrive ahead of time. Once on board, the ship itself looked charming, and the tour was set to last 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, the experience quickly turned disappointing. The audio guide was completely unintelligible due to the horrendous quality of the speakers. Not a single word could be understood, which meant we didn’t learn anything about the archipelago during the trip. Adding to the discomfort, a large group of people were dining onboard right next to other guests. They were very loud, and the strong food smells spread throughout the ship. The combination of the noise and the broken sound system made the entire tour feel uncomfortable and exhausting. Overall, while the idea of the tour is nice, the execution left us very dissatisfied. I’d recommend trying a canal tour instead, hopefully those are better organized and more enjoyable.
We took a cruise in the Stockholm Archipelago and it was quite nice. You can.t understand this city and it.s development if you don.t do this. This is the largest archipelago in Sweden and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea and it has about 24.000 islands and islets. Yes, that.s crazy!
Went during winter and I really enjoyed. You can get hot drinks on the ship and some cold snacks. The English speaker was very good and all staff were friendly.
