Stockholm Winter Boat Tour Around Fjäderholmarna: 75-Min Sightseeing Cruise
Board M/S Angantyr for a crisp 75-minute winter cruise around Fjäderholmarna. Expect waterfront landmarks, icy passages, onboard blankets and a local guide who brings Stockholm’s maritime past and natural rhythms to life.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in windproof layers
Temperatures on deck drop quickly with wind off the water—use a windproof shell over insulating mid-layers.
Bring a warm hat and gloves
Heat loss from your head and hands is rapid during winter cruises; spare gloves keep you comfortable on the upper deck.
Plan for short daylight
Winter daylight is limited—book midday departures for the best visibility and photo light.
Use public transport to the pier
Piers are well served by buses and trams; arriving by transit avoids parking hassles near central quays.

Conservation Note
The archipelago is ecologically sensitive—avoid disturbing wildlife, follow guidance from crew, and don’t leave waste ashore.
Fjäderholmarna and the inner archipelago have long served Stockholm as fishing grounds and summer retreats; post-glacial uplift created the rocky islands seen today.
