What you’ll do

Your cruise has docked at one of Stockholm’s ports and now you want to explore the city during your layover. Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered!

You’ll join one of our local Stockholm hosts on a snapshot journey of the city, taking in the sites that you want to see based on your travel itinerary, vibe, and preferences.

Depending on which of the several ports you start at, you’ll be able to enjoy iconic landmarks like The Royal Palace or Gamla Stan (the old town).

Keen to venture off the beaten path and into a local neighborhood? You have the ideal companion to show you around some of Stockholm’s hidden gems.

Your host will be happy to show you to a few memorable local-loved secret spots where you can shop, indulge in the city culture, or enjoy the local tradition fika - and who wouldn’t want to sit down for a coffee and delicious pastry?

Did someone say cinnamon bun? They’ll explain the tradition and its importance to the locals and will also share insights about the eclectic city - you’ll feel like a local, even after your short time in Stockholm.

    This experience was really good! My husband and I have been on a lot of cruises and it's always a bit difficult to make our way around the stopover cities on our own as we don't know all the good places. Our guide Tom was excellent and showed us so much of the city's culture and heritage in a short space of time! He was really patient and welcoming, and was really passionate about his city! Excellent!

    I had a great tour with Yu. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great communicator. I appreciated him sharing his passion for Japan so easily.

    Malin was very professional and showed us different kind of food and places where the locals eat in Hong Kong. We also got to experience traveling in the subway and star ferry. The food was really good and we had a wonderful time. Malin has a very friendly smile and made us feel very comfortable. She was also very accommodating because we wanted to see the symphony of lights and she made that possible she did a fantastic job.
