Cruising From Stockholm

Stockholm serves up friendly guides and beautiful palaces, such as Drottningholm, the private residence of Sweden's Royal family.

Already Booked On A Cruise?


If you've landed here, you're either thinking about booking a cruise from Stockholm or you've already booked your cruise. Either way, you'll find lots here to inspire and inform. Stockholm is a wonderful city to spend time before or after your cruise. I recommend at least two days, but if you can afford more time, do so. You won't regret it.

You could spend a week in Stockholm and feel as though you did not get enough. In fact, any time spent in Stockholm leaves visitors wanting to return. Sweden's capital ranks among Europe’s most vibrant cities.

From charming outdoor cafes in Gamla Stan to beautiful Djurgarden, Stockholm offers visitors much to see and do.

The Avid Cruiser Guide To Stockholm helps you plan the perfect vacation in the "Capital of Scandinavia."

Stockholm, Sweden: Two Perfect Days


In a tiny cafe at one end of Gamla Stan's Stortorget square, a frothy cappuccino serves as the centerpiece for a scene that is quintessentially Stockholm.

In the center of the oversized cup, coffee has been deliberately dripped onto the foamy realms to form a heart, an unintended icon that takes the same shape as Stockholm's Old Town when seen from the lofty heights of City Hall Tower.

The Old Town, or Gamla Stan as it is known, has been a meeting place since 1252. Today, more than 800 years later, it continues to pulsate as the heart of Stockholm.
