Cruise Stockholm’s island-rich archipelago aboard a classic ship with live guides, scenic views, onboard café, and 1.5, 2.5, or 3-hour options.

“Really enjoyable trip. We did a similar excursion a few days earlier in Gothenburg and found this to be much more interesting. Gothenburg was more Industrial whereas Stockholm was more appealing visually. I did notice I had the queasy land-legs situation this time so maybe a bit more choppy Stockholm-side…”

We boarded two different hop on hop off buses from two different companies and were told our tickets were no good because they were from yet another third company. $ 100 US down the toilet!”

From Stockholm: 3-Day Return Cruise to Tallinn & Breakfast

15.3-Day Return Cruise to Tallinn & Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 100 reviews · from $148

Sail from Stockholm to Tallinn on a 3-day mini-cruise with sea-view cabins, breakfast buffets, onboard entertainment, and time to explore Estonia.

“Terrific value. I'm from the USA and had heard this trip referred to as the "white trash cruise". But it was just a very normal European vibe. Some folks are there to party (us included!) but also many families there. Not flashy, but neither was it at all trashy. Nice accomodation, plenty of activities for a short travel. Super cheap for what you get: international travel, entertainment, and dining. Glad I chose it.”
