We did our own touring here. Got tickets to the Hop -on, Hop-off boats, and visited the Vasa Museum, the Abba museum ( had lunch nearby, also not inexpensive), And walked around. In the evening we did a Ghost walk (pre-paid on the web), which was entertaining. We got the Viking shuttle bus back to ship (free service provided by Viking. Read Less

Stockholm is beautiful, a little to busy for me. Lots of traffic and people. Lovely old part of town. Plenty of little shops. It takes 4 hours to reach Stockholm sailing past some of the most beautiful islands with lots of little cottages on them . Read Less

lots to see and do, needs two days Read Less

Our docking experience was quite poor and we got off the ship over an hour late. I hope for future cruisers that this was an isolated experience of a new ship in a new port (the port itself is relatively new technology). Once off we were supposed to have a free bus transfer but none of the NCL staff had any idea what we were talking about. We finally found one supervisor who told us just to take the train and we would be reimbursed (which we surprisingly were - at a price higher than the train tickets). The train station is a 20min or so walk from the port along a well marked, blue line. There is however only one ticket machine so if you can, you might want to buy your tickets on your mobile. However, since the ticket line was so long, the very kind train staff told everyone just to get on and buy their tickets when they got to Stockholm. The ticket inspector didn't give anyone any trouble either. For Stockholm, we had also planned a Free Tour but had changed our mind and just ended up walking around to see the sites. There is more than enough to do and after being in tiny Helsinki the day before, we were a bit overwhelmed how much there was to see. Read Less

We booked Hop on Hop Off bus/boat from Stromme. They are the only company that will drive out to Nynashamn Port to pick passengers up and will bring you back at the end of the day. Both tours were interesting, we spent time in Gama Stan...Old Town area and again did the Rick Steeves suggested walking tour by ourselves. Read Less

We did Hop on Hop off on our own, saw Changing of the Guard at the Royal Palace, and hung out in Old Town. This was great, very sufficient, and exceeded our expectations. Read Less

Another beautiful Scandinavian city! Read Less

Did our own bus and boat ride. Beautiful city with lots to see. Read Less

We booked an AirBnB in Sodermalm for 4 nights pre-cruise. Stockholm is well suited to self-touring with great bus and subway services. The locals will make sure you are never lost. What a great city to visit.The Hop-on-Hop off bus and boat give a great overview and is an easy way to hit the highlights of the city. Read Less

Did Viking included tour. Then walked all over on our own. Vasa Museum a must. Read Less

City tour provided overview and cruise line shuttle service allowed for self walking tour of Old Town and royal palace complex after the coach tour of city. Read Less

We walked into Old Town from the ship and arranged a water taxi to the Vasa Museum. We then took a cruise of the port area. An enjoyable day in beautiful Stockholm. Read Less

We were moved to a port 90 mins outside of Stockholm which was a bit of a pain. We booked the Hop on Hop off from outside the port building (you have to be off early as once the buses are full thats it regardless of pre booking) We managed to get the bus and Abba ticked for 405 Swedish Krona - when we arrived they were charging 50 euros per person without Abba ticket so it is worth pre booking on the morning if you know you can make the bus. Stockholm is so amazing, we did the Abba tour for fun but wished we had more time to explore the Vasa and the areas more as it was amazing. Old Stockholm behind the Palace was definitely the nicest place to eat and drink it was really pretty Read Less

You do not dock in Stockholm, but another port about 45 minutes away. We weren't too happy about that but took the hop-on-hop-off bus and all worked out. Stockholm is easy to get around, but since it is a short stay we were rushing around to get everything in. Read Less

Ship docks at Nynashamn south of Stockholm because of it's size and we took the tour bus into the city (about 1 hour) as my partner wouldn't use the train. Having only recently been to Stockholm, and it being a Sunday so everything was shut, we took the metro and a bus to Drottingham Palace (very quick and easy). Having been around the palace and gardens we took a ferry back the the Town Hall. despite being 2 hours early for the bus back to the ship and having a travel card to cover the journey my partner still wouldn't get a train so we had to sit in sulky silence.

So-so city to take a bus tour. We was much more on our own, walking. Read Less

Had I arrived 2 days early, touring would have been possible. Read Less

Did Hop on Hop Off Bus Trip. Read Less

Oceania is so cheap the you embark in a unsheltered environment Read Less

We embarked here. City was Ok but not the most memorable on the cruise. We walked around and went to the Royal Palace - it is something you will want to see. Otherwise, we had a great meal and good nights sleep before embarking on the ship. Read Less

Pretty town and interesting to see. Read Less

Regent provided one night in a hotel as part of the Concierge package, and we added some extra nights on our own.and easily filled three days of sightseeing on our own in Stockholm. Regent did not supply any tours prior to embarkation. Read Less

Arrived a couple of days before the cruise to acclimate to Sweden. Although we were alone on our flight and we arrived relatively early in the morning, we were greeted by a Intercruise / Regent representative at the airport who had already arranged a pre-paid car for us to go to our hotel, the Haymarket by Scandic, who already had a room waiting for us. The Haymarket was Regent quality offering a nice room, great breakfast and a convenient location to many sites and attractions. Read Less

A free bus shuttle was provided to Stockholm city center. At our day of visit a big bike race was held there, so many streets were not accessable for the bus, the driver was very flexible, made a few phone calls and could alter the stop / pickup location very quickly. What a fantastic and lovely city. Do not miss to take the bus/boat hop on hop off ticket and enjoy this great place. Take a stroll through Gamla Stan (Old Town), these alleys are way to small for buses and you won't see a ot from a bus. Stop at some café and enjoy excellent coffee and pastry or some hearty Smörrebröd (buttered bread with crabs or whatever you prefer) Read Less

I enjoyed the city tour. Since I had not ever been to Sweden before, it was the way to get acclimated. Read Less
