Cruise Overview

Stockholm is a city in the flush of its second youth.

Since the mid-1990s, Sweden's capital has emerged from its cold, Nordic shadow to take the stage as a truly international city.

What started with entry into the European Union in 1995 gained pace with the extraordinary IT boom of the late 1990s, strengthened with the Skype-led IT second wave of 2003, and solidified with the hedge-fund invasion that is still happening today as Stockholm gains even more global confidence.

And despite more recent economic turmoil, Stockholm's 1 million or so inhabitants have, almost as one, realized that their city is one to rival Paris, London, New York, or any other great metropolis.With this realization comes change.

Stockholm has become a city of design, fashion, innovation, technology, and world-class food, pairing homegrown talent with an international outlook.

The streets are flowing with a young and confident population keen to drink in everything the city has to offer.

The glittering feeling of optimism, success, and living in the here and now is rampant in Stockholm.Stockholm also has plenty of history.

Positioned where the waters of Lake Mälaren rush into the Baltic, it’s been an important trading site and a wealthy international city for centuries.

Built on 14 islands joined by bridges crossing open bays and narrow channels, Stockholm boasts the story of its history in its glorious medieval old town, grand palaces, ancient churches, sturdy edifices, public parks, and 19th-century museums—its history is soaked into the very fabric of its airy boulevards, built as a public display of trading glory.
