About this excursion
Witness the highlights of Stockholm on an engaging shore excursion from Nynashamn, combining fascinating history, iconic landmarks, and free time to experience the Swedish capital your way. Travel comfortably from the cruise terminal with a local guide, explore the extraordinary Vasa Museum, and wander through the atmospheric streets of Gamla Stan before returning to your ship.
Your Stockholm adventure begins at the Nynashamn Cruise Ship Terminal, where your guide and driver will welcome you for the approximately 60-km journey to Stockholm. As you travel, enjoy an introduction to Sweden's capital, including insights into its history, culture, and traditions. Nynashamn's location south of Stockholm makes it an ideal gateway for cruise passengers wanting to experience the capital during their port call.
Upon reaching Stockholm, visit the renowned Vasa Museum with your guide. Step inside to see the remarkably preserved Vasa warship, a magnificent 17th-century vessel that sank on its maiden voyage and was recovered centuries later. Learn about the ship's dramatic history and the extraordinary effort involved in preserving this unique piece of Swedish heritage.
Continue to Gamla Stan, Stockholm's historic Old Town, for a guided walking tour through its medieval streets and picturesque squares. See Stortorget, wander along Marten Trotzigs Grand, Osterlanggatan, and Prastgatan, and admire Stockholm Cathedral and the exterior of the Royal Palace. Continue to Riddarholmen for scenic city views before strolling along the beautiful Skeppsbron waterfront.
After your guided sightseeing, enjoy approximately 90 minutes of free time to explore Stockholm independently. Browse shops, enjoy lunch (not included), visit another attraction, or simply soak up the atmosphere before meeting your driver at the designated location.
Finally, relax during the return journey to Nynashamn Cruise Ship Terminal. With round-trip transportation and carefully coordinated timing included, you can enjoy Stockholm's essential sights while keeping your return to the ship convenient and worry-free.
