Swedish Cruise Ship

Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

aw yeah this rocks it felt like i was shitting beside him

pretty funny and good, though I prefer how the original got to the joke much faster, you didn't REALLY need to animate Pepe shitting for so long.

Also, I wonder if people that haven't seen the greentext would get the joke, could've done with a subtitle when he says 'titta'

One day in stockholm from a cruise ship: an itinerary that works.

Are you spending one day in Stockholm on a cruise and are wondering what to see? As the so-called Venice of the North has a rich history and countless cultural treasures, you’ll need to make some tough choices.

I faced the same challenge and compiled a Stockholm 1-day itinerary to make the most of my time ashore. In this article, I’ll share this with you along with essential practical tips, including how to get from the cruise terminal.

How I Visited Stockholm on a Cruise

Stockholm was the 6th port of call on my 2-week cruise along the Baltic Sea :

• Cruise operator :  Celebrity Cruises
• Cruise ship : Celebrity Silhouette
• Time in port : 8 am – 5 pm

Cruising to Stockholm is worth it solely for the sensational approach.

A steady hand from the captain is needed as, over three hours, the ship navigates the archipelago of 24,000 islands that stretch 80 km east of the city. It’s worth setting your alarm clock to sit on your balcony to take in the view, a mixture of barren rocks circled by seabirds and islets populated by brightly painted wooden summer homes.

Language  – Swedish. English is widely spoken.

Currency  – Swedish Krone (SEK). However, cards are widely accepted, even as payment for small purchases such as a cup of coffee. Therefore, I did not bother getting local currency and used my card instead.

Tipping  – A gratuity is often added to your bill. However, if a service charge is not included in your bill, a 5 – 10% tip is customary.

Stockholm is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Fill your face at breakfast on the cruise ship before setting out for the day.

Getting around Stockholm  – Stockholm has an excellent integrated public transport system. Many of the main tourist sights are clustered around Gamla Stan.

My 1-day Stockholm Itinerary: Self-Guided Walking Tour + Map)

I’ll level with you You won’t be able to see all of Stockholm in a day. However, this itinerary will help you discover the best bits during your limited time ashore.

Here’s a map with a suggested route to set you on your way. If you find it easier, use it as a Stockholm self-guided walking tour . Simply click here or on the image for step-by-step directions and to send to your phone.

My Stockholm itinerary starts at the Abba Museum and ends at the Royal Palace , covering a distance of 3 miles (5 km). However, if you want to save time, or give your feet a rest, you can take a tram between Djurgården and Kungsträdgården.

Visit the Abba Museum

Mama Mia! Spend your morning in Stockholm by reliving the Swedish fab foursome’s glory days through this fun and interactive museum.

The first part of the  Abba Museum , dedicated to the  Mama Mia films , is a little underwhelming. Here you will find props from films, costumes and testimonies from the cast.

Descending to the  main exhibition , you get the real deal.

Learn about Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid’s professional lives before they became an acronym of the first letters of their first names. Watch Abba winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Concert with  Waterloo.

A vast collection of their extraordinary costumes is on display in the museum, as are some of their many gold and platinum discs and album covers from across the globe.

If you are a film buff, you will love the interview with the renowned Swedish director  Lasse Hallström . Before achieving international acclaim with movies such as  My Life as a Dog  and  The Cider House Rules , he cut his teeth directing almost all of Abba’s videos as well as  Abba: The Movie  in 1977.

Abba was one of the pioneers of pop videos. Despite a small budget, Hallström put together compelling, and iconic, videos.

The Abba Museum is tremendously interactive.

You can become the fifth member of Abba by performing on stage with Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid, virtually try on their costumes and re-mix their tracks. By scanning your ticket on the adjacent reader, your visit will be saved for 30 days.

• The Abba Museum is at Djurgårdsvägen 68
• To get to the Abba Museum from Frihamnen cruise terminal, take bus #76 to Djergården from where it is a 10-minute walk.
• The museum is also served by hop-on-hop-off buses.
• The Abba Museum is cashless; only cards are accepted. Small lockers and a cloakroom are available (free).
• To beat the crowds, visit the Abba Museum early in your day in Stockholm

Explore Djurgården

The Abba Museum is located on the royal island of  Djurgården , which is well worth exploring further if time permits. It is home to the expansive  Kungliga  Park, which occupies the eastern half of the island.

Alternatively, pay a visit to  Skansen . This is the world’s oldest open-air museum and showcases how Swedish people lived before the Industrial Revolution.

Skansen is also the world’s only open-air museum with wild animals and is home to Nordic wildlife, rare breeds, pets and exotic creatures.

If the weather is not kind to you on the day of your Stockholm cruise stop, I recommend the  Vasa Museum . Named after its chief occupant, a 17th-century ship that capsized and sank in Stockholm, this is the most visited museum in Scandinavia.

When you have finished exploring Djurgården, walk or take the tram #7 light rail to Kungsträdgården.

Watch life go by in Kungsträdgården

In fine weather, the lovely Kungsträdgården is the perfect spot for a picnic lunch. Alternatively, refuel in one of its cafes.

Originally the kitchen garden for the Royal Palace, this pretty, narrow garden is home to the impressive Fountain of Molin, cast in bronze and surrounded by willow trees from the 19th Century. In springtime, Kungsträdgården is a riot of colour thanks to the 63 Japanese cherry blossom trees planted there in 1998.

Walk around Gamla Stan (Stockholm Old Town)

If you have just one day in Stockholm, you should not miss Gamla Stan. It was the most alluring historic city centre that I visited on this cruise, even beating the gorgeous  Tallinn .

The best thing that you can do is to allow yourself to get lost in the old town’s tangle of narrow, cobblestoned streets. My suggestion is to make your way first to Stortorget, Gamla Stan’s oldest square.

Stortorget has been the beating heart of Gamla Stan since the Middle Ages and is where the 1520 Stockholm Bloodbath – the mass execution of Swedish nobles by the Danish king Christan II –  took place. Today, this achingly picturesque cobblestoned square is flanked by beautiful ochre-coloured patrician houses.

When you have finished admiring Gamla Stan go wherever your feet take you. Keep your eyes peeled for Mårten Trotzigs Gränd , Stockholm’s narrowest lane.

Vist the Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet)

I didn’t have time to tour Sweden’s baroque Royal Palace but enjoyed admiring it from the outside.

If you want to switch things around a bit in your Stockholm itinerary, the changing of the guards takes place daily at 11.45 am in the outer courtyard. You do not need a ticket for the royal palace to watch it.

Check out the official  website  for further information.

Stockholm Shore Excursions

With a little planning, it’s easy to independently see the best that Stockholm has to offer in one day from a cruise ship. But perhaps you want someone else to take care of the arrangements or you want to benefit from the knowledge of a local guide?

If so, why not pre-book a day tour? Other travellers have highly rated these excursions and you can cancel your booking without penalty up to 24 hours before the start of the activity.

How to Get to Central Stockholm from the Frihamnen Cruise Terminal

Stockholm has two major cruise terminals:  Frihamnen  and the more central  Stadsgården . Some ships may also park up at  Nynashamn , 36 miles south of Stockholm, and smaller ones may dock at  Skeppsbron  right in the centre of town.

Celebrity Silhouette berthed at Frihamnen.

Option 1: Walk from Frihamnen to Gamla Stan

It will take you around an hour to walk from Frihamnen to Gamla Stan. Unless you want to walk off some of those extra calories consumed onboard, this is not feasible.

Option 2: Use Stockholm’s public transport

Pick up the frequent bus #76 from outside the cruise terminal. This will bring you to Djurgården in 10 minutes (handy for the museums including the Abba Museum) and Gamla Stan in 15 – 20 minutes.

I recommend buying a day ticket to get the best out of your time in Stockholm. I bought this from the shop in the cruise terminal. Note that this is NOT the tourist visitor card Stockholm Pass which also grants you access to museums, sights, attractions and boat trips.

Here is useful information on  travel within Stockholm .

Option 3: Use the Cruise Shuttle Service

When I visited Stockholm on a cruise, a local tour operator provided a shuttle service, running every 20 minutes.

Option 4: Use the hop-on-hop-off buses

Yes. Ubiquitous hop-on-hop-off (HOHO) buses are available.

They come in two different favours.

Red Sightseeing buses

These open-top double-decker buses serve 22 stops. The duration of the entire route is 1.5 hours and buses are timetabled to arrive every 10 – 20 mins in peak season.

Green HOHO buses and boat

If you want to explore Stockholm by bus and boat, this is your best bet.

Their open-top double-decker buses serve 20 stops. The duration of the entire route is 60 minutes and the frequency of buses depends on the month of the year.

Is the Go Stockholm Pass Worth Buying?

The  Go Stockholm Pass  gives you free entry to over 50 of the city’s attractions, free bus and boat tours and a guidebook thrown in for good measure.

During my day in Stockholm, I knew that I wanted to visit the Abba Museum, which is not covered by the Stockholm Pass, and walk around the Old Town, for which I wouldn’t need admission to any of the city’s attractions. Therefore, it would not have been of value to me.

However, depending on what you plan to do in Stockholm, you might arrive at a different conclusion. Think about where you might be able to visit and how much individual tickets and transport will cost compared with the cost of the Stockholm Pass.

Have a fabulous time in Stockholm!

I loved my day in Stockholm and was utterly seduced by its setting and medieval old town. With its Baltic Sea archipelago, Stockholm boasts the most spectacular approach of any port I have visited on a cruise, from the Western Caribbean to Norway’s fjords .

Although one day in Stockholm isn’t enough to it justice, don’t let this deter you from making the most of your visit. Whilst you will need to accept that you can’t do it all, it is possible to explore much of Stockholm before your cruise ship sets sail.

Packing a good guidebook to help you explore the ports of call on a Baltic Sea cruise is a wise move. I can recommend the excellent  Lonely Planet Cruise Ports Scandinavia & Northern Europe  I used on this cruise.

If you have found this itinerary helpful, take a look at my guides to the other ports of call on this cruise:

Finally, if you are a cruise rookie, I also have advice on  choosing your first cruise  and  the best cruise cabins , including  single cabins  for solo cruisers.

Happy travels!

Port Stockholm cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Stockholm, Sweden. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Stockholm is a major Baltic Sea cruise port and Sweden's capital city. The city covers a total area of approx 190 km2 (73 mi2) and has a population of around 935,000 (metro around 2,3 million). Port Stockholm is located on the meeting point of Salt Bay and Lake Malaren (the country's 3rd-largest freshwater lake - after Vanern and Vattern). The city (established in 1252) is spread across 14 islands and also on mainland Sweden (at the mouth of Lake Malaren).

Stockholm is Sweden's political, economic and cultural center. The region alone accounts for over 1/3 of the country's GDP and is one of Europe's top 10 regions by GDP per capita. In Stockholm are some of the top-ranked European universities, such as Stockholm School of Economics, Karolinska Institute, Royal Institute of Technology. The city is also famous for hosting the annual Nobel Prize award ceremonies. One of its most prized museums - Vasa Museum (on Djurgarden Island) is Scandinavia's most visited museum. Stockholm metro (inaugurated in 1950) is famous for its stations' decorations and has been named "world's longest art gallery". The national football arena of Sweden is in the town of Solna (north of the city). The national indoor arena (Ericsson Globe) is in the city's southern part.

Here are the seat of Sweden's government, most Gov agencies, the country's Parliament, also the official residencies of Sweden's Prime Minister and monarch (Stockholm Palace is his official residence). Drottningholm Palace (UNESCO Site) in the outskirts serves as a private residence of the Swedish Royal House of Bernadotte. The best-known tourist attractions are in Gamla Stan (Old Town).

As cruise port, Stockholm in 2019 reported its record season with handled 281 ship calls (out of 287 booked), 74 turnarounds (roundtrips), and handled ~650,000 cruise tourists. To each visiting vessel is dedicated a pier coordinator responsible for all dockside logistics.

Port Stockholm

(locode SESTO) Ports of Stockholm authority also manages Port Kapellskar, Port Vartahamnen, and the new Port Norvik (completed in May 2020). The new cargo port has the capacity to handle the largest vessels (RoRo and boxships).

Port's cruising season is in the summer (late-April through early-October). As a call port, it is included in most Baltic Sea (Scandinavia and Russia) itineraries. Stockholm is served by regularly scheduled ferries to Turku and Helsinki in Finland (commonly called "Finlandsfarjan"), also to Tallinn (Estonia), Riga (Latvia ), and to St Petersburg (Russia) .

Stockholm islands are served by ferry ships run by Waxholms Angfartygs AB (aka Waxholmsbolaget) - a shipping company owned by Stockholm County Council. Waxholms Angfartygs owns all 25 vessels and is mostly tax-funded. Its services cover the entire maritime region from Arholma island (northeast) to Oja Island (south). Ferry services are year-round and used by approx 11 million passengers annually.

In February 2019, Tallink Grupp (TALLINK-SILJA LINE) started using shoreside power to provide electricity for two cruiseferries ( Silja Serenade and Silja Symphony ) operating the route Helsinki-Stockholm. Tallink's other Stockholm-homeported RoPax vessels were also scheduled to be fitted with the equipment for shore-power connections and gradually rolled out in 2020 and 2021.

In 2016, the cruise port had 230 ship visits (including 57 turnarounds) and handled ~490 000 passengers. Many passengers spend overnight (extra day and night) in the city, which benefits the local tourism industry even further. Statistics showed that cruise tourists spend around USD 58 million on city tours, hotels, restaurants, and shopping.

In 2017, the port handled 263 cruise ship calls (including 73 turnarounds) and ~600,000 cruise tourists (22% increase over 2016). The season started on April 30. During season 2017, in Stockholm were homeported 73 vessels (for roundtrip cruise departures/turnaround operations). On homeported liners, passengers often spend an extra day/night in the city, which further benefits the local tourism industry. Cruise passenger spending in Stockholm is estimated at around EUR 62 million. Maiden port calls were done by Norwegian Getaway (port's largest ship so far), MSC Fantasia and Saga Sapphire . 2017 was also reported as a record year for port's freight shipping volumes (both RoRo ships and container ships ) - a total of 9,6 million tons of cargo (7% increase over 2016's 9,01 million tons). The flow of TEU-containers between Sweden and different continents (primarily Asia) is also increasing. The number of TEUs handled by Port Stockholm increased 11% (over 2016) up to 60,000 TEUs.

In season 2018 the port handled 268 cruise ship calls (including 67 turnarounds) and ~623,000 passengers (out of Sweden's total 1,07 million), plus a maiden call at Port Kapellskar. For comparison, statistical data shows for 2014 - 264 calls (42 turnarounds, 467,000 pax) and for 2015 - 247 calls (53 turnarounds, 530,000 pax). Ferry passengers were 11+ million (out of Sweden's total ~16 million). Also increased RoRo (ferry freight) and TEU-container volumes - respectively, 7,2 million tons (+7%) and 57400 TEUs. 2018 was also a record year as port revenue - SEK 866 million (USD 95 million / EUR 83 million), the majority (30%) being from leased properties (approx 200,000 m2 and 350 tenants) .

According to a GP Wild-conducted survey, for 2018 port's annual economic contribution for the Stockholm region was EUR 176 million (port fees, ship services, cruise tourist spending on food, hotels, tours, shopping, transportation, etc), with 1100 supported jobs. The seaport was visited by 623,000 cruise passengers (plus 240,000 crew) who collectively spent EUR 57 million ashore (on food, tours, hotels, shopping, etc). In addition, the cruise companies spent EUR 25 million in-port (on harbor-pilotage-fairway dues). The survey showed that most cruise tourists were from Germany, UK and the USA. On average, day passengers spent EUR 72 pp, turnaround/roundtrip passengers - EUR 256 pp, crew - EUR 48 pp.

Port Stockholm provides to vessels all standard terminal facilities and services, among which is wastewater pumping (sewage water from onboard showers, WCs, galley). Sewage offloading is included in port fees and such facilities are available at all berths.

During 2019-Q1, the Port's container volumes increased by ~1/4 (over 2018-Q1) by handling more and larger boxships. Since May 2020, Stockholm Norvik Port has replaced the CTF (Frihamnen's container terminal). The new terminal is managed by Hutchison Ports ( Hong Kong -based global container terminal company, as of 2020 managing 52 seaports in 27 countries). The new terminal also has a RoRo (rolling cargo) section managed by Ports of Stockholm.

• In April 2020, at Port Norvik was installed and became operational two new (China-made) Super-Post-Panamax container cranes (gantry cranes). This allows for handling the Baltic Sea's largest vessels. Each crane has a height of 81 m (266 ft) and a lifting capacity of 65 tons.
• The first boxship (2012-built SCA Tunadal) docked at the new Stockholm Norvik Port on May 27, 2020.

For season 2020 (April 17 through October 19), the cruise port had scheduled 288 ship calls (booked berthings), including 13x for first-time visiting vessels. Maiden port calls were booked for Sky Princess and Island Princess, Le Bellot and Le Jacques Cartier (Ponant), Marella Discovery, Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Jade (NCL), Mein Schiff ( TUI ), Veendam (Holand America), MSC Splendida, Azamara Pursuit, World Voyager ( Mystic Cruises ), Evrima ( Ritz-Carlton ). Note: The 3 linked ships are newbuilds (2020-launched).

Following the Coronavirus crisis, for season 2022 the cruise port had scheduled a total of 230 ship calls (booked berthings) with the largest visiting vessel being Norwegian Getaway , most calls by AIDAdiva , and most homeporting calls by the company Viking OCEAN . The Port eventually handled 205 ship calls and ~247000 passengers, including 18x maiden ship visits, 87x overnight stays, 10x 2-night stays, 5x 3-night stays.

Stockholm Frihamnen's new cruise dock "Quay F655" was officially opened on May 20th and inaugurated on June 21st, 2022. The facility occupies the site of the former container terminal (in 2020 relocated to Stockholm Norvik) and features a 330 m / 1083 ft) long dock/berth surrounded by a spacious land area specifically designed to serve more efficiently the turnaround/homeport cruise passenger traffic (checking in and checking out/debarking and embarking tourists) from buses and taxis. The Cruise Port Frihamnen project also included adding shore-power connections (in 2023), which allows the berthed ship to turn off its main engines and instead to use city-grid power for the onboard hotel operations and services.

In August 2022 was announced the plan to invest in cruise ship shoreside power facilities at the downtown-located Stadsgarden Quay (berths 167 and 160). Port Stockholm estimated that at least 45% of the cruise ship calls will use the shore-power facilities. For this project, in November 2021 was contracted PSW Group AS for the design, delivery and installation of both high-voltage shore power systems. The facilities were scheduled to be operational by August 2023 (Quay S167 /power output 8MVA) and by July 2024 (Quay S160 /power output 16MVA). Of the total investment (SEK 120M / EUR 10,6M), ~40% was covered by subsidies from the EU and Naturvardsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency).

In September 2022 was announced a planned investment (Jan 2023) in a hydrogen fuelling station for vehicles at Port Norvik.

In June 2023 started regularly scheduled passenger shipping operations the world's first self-driving ferryboat.

• The autonomous technology was developed at Trondheim's NTNU/Norwegian University of Science and Technology as part of NTNU's Autoferry project (successfully trialed in 2022).
• MF Estelle is a catamaran-type vessel with dimensions 12x5 m (39x16 ft) and max capacity 25 passengers plus 6 bicycles. The autonomous ferry operates Stockholm's downtown route between Riddarfjarden Bay (Lake Malaren) and Sodermalm (island district). The boat is fitted with a 188-kWh battery pack (charged by 7,7-kW solar panels mounted on its roof) and is driven by an electric motor.
• The ship's operating system utilizes radar, LiDAR-based detect and avoid system (generally used on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), infrared and machine vision cameras, ultrasonic sensors (for docking maneuvers) and GPS (for positioning).

MF Estelle (built by Torghatten ASA/ Bronnoysund , operated by Zeabuz/ Trondheim ) is now navigating autonomously between Stockholm City's islands without any human assistance.

For 2024 (April-October), Ports of Stockholm had scheduled a total of 121 cruise ship calls. Maiden/first-time berthings were booked by TUI (Mein Schiff 7) and Cunard UK (Queen Anne).

Stockholm cruise terminal

Stockholm cruise port has 5 quays. They are close to Gamla Stan or the Old Town.

Skeppsbron and Fortojning Pa Strommen are the closest to Gamla Stan. Stadsgarden is located south of Gamla Stan. Frihamnen and Vartahamnen are to north of the landmark, in the Port's commercial area.

• Skeppsbron quay is close to the Royal Palace and serves small ships.
• Fortojning Pa Strommen serves Holland America Line and Cunard Line.
• Stadsgarden serves bigger cruise ships. It has a small terminal building and it is near Fotografika.
• Frihamnen Quay is the most popular in Stockholm cruise terminal. The building is new, designed in bright colors and offering as tourist facilities a cafe restaurant, WI-FI, several eateries, tourist information, taxi parking and bus stop (in front of the building). For bus travel from the cruise terminal, take Line #76 that visit popular city sights and attractions.

Parking at the cruise port is not available.

In 2016 was improved Port Nynashamn's cruise terminal, where a new Seawalk was built and the pier was extended (current length 260 m / 853 ft) to serve smaller-sized ships instead only tenders, shuttle and tour boats.

In June 2021 Ports Stockholm started a EUR 1,5 million (~USD 1,8M) project for building a new cruise exclusive dock at Frihamnen Port (Quay F655) to double Stockholm's homeport cruise capacity. The project was completed in 2022. Quay F655's first cruise ship was Ambassador Ambience (on May 20th), while the facility's official inauguration was on June 21st (when here docked Oceania Marina ). Besides by cruise vessels, the new dock is also used for handling ships carrying project cargo. Quay F655 handled 16 ship calls in 2022 and 14 calls in 2023.
