Description

Set sail from central Gothenburg on a 2.5-hour cruise through the city’s harbour and towards the beautiful Gothenburg archipelago. Board the classic ship M/S S:t Erik at Lilla Bommen and enjoy a relaxing journey along the coast. Pass historic Älvsborg Fortress, once a key guardian of the city’s waterways, before taking in views of islands, open water and coastal scenery. As a Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden, Stromma brings longstanding Swedish sightseeing expertise to every journey. Live commentary in English and Swedish introduces the sights along the route. Relax in the indoor areas or enjoy the sea air from the outdoor sun deck. The ship also has a cafeteria, restaurant and bar, with snacks and drinks available to purchase. This Stromma sightseeing cruise is an easy way to experience Gothenburg’s maritime atmosphere and the archipelago beyond the city.
