Video: Cruising Stockholm archipelago
Follow the cruising through the archipelago from she is leaving Stockholm Frihavn and to the Pilot is leaving the ship 5 hours later - just before sunset.
The archipelago extends from Stockholm roughly 60 kilometers to the east.
In a north-south direction. There are approximately 30,000 islands and islets.
The shipping routes from the Baltic to Stockholm pass through the archipelago and we do pass several ships. Cruising between the small islands through the Stockholm Archipelago is an experience. Weather allowing, the experience can be enhanced by enjoying a spectacular sunset from the deck that during summer months lasts until 11 pm.

Follow our walking tour through Tallin Old Town, the capital and largest city of Estonia.
All-linn (Lower Town) is one of the best preserved old towns in Europe.
