The Stockholm Archipelago - Sweden

The Stockholm Archipelago is unique. An awe- inspiring world of islands which for centuries has fascinated and enticed people whether to settle down here,fish or farm, wage wars, smuggle contraband - or just go for a swim. For us, the archipelago is also the world's most beautiful place of work. Join us and let us tell you about one of nature's wonders. The journey starts right in the centre of Stockholm, at the quay in front of the Grand Hotel and continues mile after mile, straight out into the Baltic Sea. Along the way, we pass thousands of islands and islets, which alter in character the further out  we sail. -   The Inner Archipelago -   The Central Archipelago -   The Outer Isles -   North, South - Or Somewhere In Between Welcome on Board Tel:   0046 (0)8 24 30 30 Web:   www.waxholmsbolager.se
