Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
Founded in the 13th century, Stockholm
is Sweden’s strikingly elegant and beautiful capital, spread out
over many islands at the meeting point of the Baltic with Lake
Mälaren. Stockholm, noted for its outstanding architecture, is one
of Scandinavia’s most attractive cities. In addition to its many
man-made monuments, Stockholm boasts a world of natural beauty.
One-third of the city’s total land area is devoted to parks. Guided by a strong belief in individual freedom, Sweden is governed by a constitution that is the oldest in use in Europe. The country’s neutrality has allowed it to avoid wars for more than 150 years. Its cities and industry remained intact during both World Wars. A distinct political philosophy has also added significantly to the nation’s success. Many of the country’s social achievements can be attributed to the development of the “welfare state” early in the 20th century. This provides its citizens with excellent medical care and substantial retirement benefits. Sweden is recognized as one of the world leaders in matters of health care and life expectancy. Education standards are high, accounting for the country’s 100% literacy rate. The Swedes are proud of their country and take great care to preserve its great natural beauty. As the country’s major city, Stockholm offers a wealth of monuments and sites, fine museums, and a rich culture. There are also hundreds of excellent restaurants, as well as a great selection of trendy boutiques and exciting nightclubs. Visitors should start their exploration of Stockholm with the Gamla Stan, the Old Town on Stadsholmen; an island in the Left of the city, it has retained its medieval charm. The maze of narrow, cobbled streets, full of art studios, boutiques, antique shops, nightclubs and bars, is best explored on foot. Every year in August the colorful, ten-day Stockholm Water Festival is held. During this time the central part of the city is transformed into an array of temporary restaurants, bars, theaters and art exhibitions, providing activities 24 hours a day. The World Fireworks Championships, swimming races, a midnight marathon, music and dancing are just a few of the endless list of events that highlight this gigantic festival. |

Your cruise planning guide
Planning time in Stockholm
When comparing cruises that call at Stockholm, look at the scheduled arrival and departure, the distance between the berth and the places you want to visit, and whether the ship docks or uses a tender. An overnight call can offer a different experience from a short daytime stop. Use the destination description below to build a shortlist of interests, then ask Deluxe Cruises which current itinerary best fits your preferred pace and travel dates.
Planning your Silversea voyage
Silversea offers a way to explore both classic ocean routes and expedition destinations. When comparing its voyages, the important distinction is the experience ashore: a port-focused ocean itinerary and an expedition with landings can have very different daily rhythms.
What to compare before choosing
Compare the suite location, time in port and the exact shore programme for your chosen sailing. Ask which transfers, excursions, beverages and gratuities are included in the quoted fare, and whether any optional activities need advance reservations.
