Excursions

Archipelago Boat Day is a beloved event where Stockholm’s classic archipelago vessels depart together from Strömkajen in a joint convoy bound for Vaxholm. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the archipelago at its most atmospheric, with historic ships, a festive mood, and a shared sense of community at sea.

Upon arrival in Vaxholm, the town comes alive — with music, local markets, and performances filling the streets and squares. For those who wish to start or end the day with a meal at sea, it is possible to reserve a table on board S/S Norrskär, S/S Storskär, and S/S Blidösund.

Tickets are sold via the Archipelago Passenger Association, and table reservations are made through our customer service starting 30 March.

This summer, we offer Sunday excursions to Svartlöga aboard our historic steamship, S/S Blidösund. Svartlöga is one of the best-preserved village environments in the Stockholm archipelago. Unlike many other islands, Svartlöga was spared when the Russians raided in 1719.

Families with children love the island’s child-friendly beach, and nature enthusiasts can enjoy Lassas Hagar, a five-hectare arboretum with a water garden and over 2,500 exotic trees and shrubs. Film lovers will find it especially exciting to know that parts of the new Saltkråkan movie were filmed here. It’s easy to see why – Svartlöga has an untouched, fairy-tale atmosphere that feels straight out of Astrid Lindgren’s world.

On Svartlöga, there are no cars, no shops – just nature, culture, and tranquility. A perfect break from everyday life.
