Cruise from Stockholm to Vaxholm, hear local stories, and see the archipelago from the water. Practical tips on seats, weather, and value.

“We're giving this experience 3 stars because of the wide range of experiences we had. I thought it was fun and interesting (34M), my wife hated it (35F), and my daughter did not have fun for most of it (5F). It can be very boring at times and depending on the weather and crowd, very uncomfortable. However, it is also very informative and a good way to see some beautiful sights.”
