Sweden

Venture out to Nämdö, an entire archipelago whose main island, Nämdö, is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. Nämdö is nature at its most beautiful. From its lush forests and flowering meadows to the outer archipelago's barren rocks and cliffs, Nämdö is one of the few large unexploited islands that can boast original buildings. For a typical Swedish island experience, head to the bay’s wood-fired sauna, where guests chop firewood, fire it up, indulge in the heat, and then dive into the cooling sea! Take a guided tour of the Stamla Gan – all of Gamla Stan and the adjacent island of Riddarholmen are like a living pedestrian-friendly museum full of sights, attractions, restaurants, cafés, bars, and places to shop.

We will arrive in the small municipality of Saltsjöbaden. Built as recently as 1889 as a new suburb to Stockholm, Skärvassa is today home to the modern Stockholm elite, with a beautiful luxury hotel on the waterfront and a lovely location to anchor for a few hours whilst guests enjoy a swim and a kayak.

The most amazing area in this south-east corner of the archipelago is on the main island of Huvudskär, pointing east. The rocks stretch out many hundreds of metres, polished by the ice 10,000 years ago. After a stroll and some sunbathing, you can enjoy a barbeque on the warm cliffs prepared by your crew.

Built on 14 islands, some call Stockholm the Nordic Venice. The entrance approaching Stockholm is fantastic whether you arrive from the north, passing the fortress Waxholm, or from the south, passing the very narrow canal “Stäket”, surrounded by waterside villas.

One of the largest islands in the Stockholm Archipelago. Why not discover the area on a rented bike? Alternatively, you might prefer to venture out on the kayaks or tender out to explore the nearby islands by yourselves.
