S/S Blidösund

The Ship's History

S/S Blidösund was commissioned in 1910 by a group of dedicated residents of Blidö who united in protest against Waxholmsbolaget, as it did not serve the routes and piers they needed. To solve the problem, they raised funds to finance their own vessel. The result was S/S Blidösund, launched in 1911, and she quickly became a beloved steamship on her main route from Stockholm through Roslagen.

Today, S/S Blidösund is a living museum, preserved in the same condition as when she was first launched. Her well-preserved original state offers passengers a unique opportunity to experience the archipelago just as people did over a century ago. She is not just a steamship – she is a piece of living history.

S/S Blidösund

The Ship Today

S/S Blidösund is a true museum, preserved in the same condition as when she was first launched in 1911. During the summer, she runs her own program of music cruises and excursions, but on days when she is not operating scheduled tours, she is available for private hire. Onboard, there are three dining rooms with seating for a total of 60 guests. In the aft salon—where musicians perform during the music evenings—long tables can be set up to accommodate an additional 40–50 people.

Don’t miss the chance to peek into the engine room and see the fireman shovel coal into the furnace and witness a genuine steam engine in action!

Together with our volunteer support association, Föreningen Blidösund, we’ve created a more extensive program for the summer of 2025 than ever before—a mix of music cruises, exciting excursions, and regular sailings to and from Norrtälje and the Blidösund strait.
