\n Weekend trips in the archipelago\n <\/h2>\n\n \n On board S\/S Norrsk\u00e4r and S\/S Storsk\u00e4r\n <\/span>\n \n
\n

S\/S Storsk\u00e4r and S\/S Norrsk\u00e4r offer weekend cruises from May to September. <\/p>\n

The ships depart from and return to Str\u00f6mkajen, located in front of the National Museum. You can either take the full tour or hop on and off along the way. <\/p>\n

Since the cruise is part of Waxholmsbolaget’s public transport, ticket prices are very affordable. An adult ticket to Vaxholm costs 43 SEK. See the other ticket prices below. <\/p>\n

Tickets can only be purchased on board, but table reservations can be made via our website. Please note that a table reservation does not guarantee a spot onboard. To ensure a seat, you should arrive well in advance of departure. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n

\n S\/S Storsk\u00e4r\n <\/h2>\n\n \n The archipelago\u2019s fastest steamship\n <\/span>\n \n
\n

What could be more delightful than gliding through the archipelago with the help of a steam engine? Not many would argue! S\/S Storsk\u00e4r is the archipelago’s fastest steamship. It has triple expansion and is currently oil-fired. It was built as Str\u00e4ngn\u00e4s Express in 1908 in Gothenburg, and in 1939 it was transferred to Waxholmsbolaget. In connection with its hundred-year anniversary, S\/S Storsk\u00e4r was designated a cultural heritage steamship. She is now one of the “regular” vessels that operates the inner archipelago on a daily basis from May to September.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/article>\n\n

\n S\/S Norrsk\u00e4r\n <\/h2>\n\n \n Waxholmsbolaget\u2019s youngest steamship\n <\/span>\n \n
\n

S\/S Norrsk\u00e4r is Waxholmsbolaget\u2019s youngest steamship, built in 1910 by Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstads AB in Gothenburg. It was delivered as Sandhamns Express, featuring a twin compound steam engine, and is also an older sister of S\/S Blid\u00f6sund (1911). Just like S\/S Storsk\u00e4r, it was designated a cultural heritage steamship in the year it celebrated its 100th anniversary. <\/p>\n

With a restaurant and caf\u00e9 onboard, there are great opportunities for a pleasant trip. During the summer, you can also enjoy a ride on S\/S Norrsk\u00e4r to the classic Sandhamn in the outer archipelago. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/article>\n\n
