Arrive in Stockholm and transfer with private vehicle and English speaking driver to your centrally located hotel.

Sweden's capital is charming, vibrant and surrounded by beauty and water - hence its nickname, Venice of the North! Stockholm offers interesting museums and castles; the city offers a warm atmosphere and the old town has charming small alleyways boasting several famous restaurants. On arrival, you will be met by a local guide who will spend an hour with you briefing you on the local area and what you can do.

On one of your afternoons here, be sure to make time for a visit to the ABBA museum with great interactive exhibits - a glass of champagne (for Dutch courage to get on stage & the pure fun of it) to accompany your tour is recommended! On the other hand, take the serious option & visit the Nobel Prize museum in the Old town.

Are you daydreaming of exploring Stockholm with a hint of regal luxury? Let’s make your dreams come true, as we’ve got just the tour for you! Step into your private vehicle and sit back and relax as your private guide introduces you to the inner-city districts of Norrmalm, Södermalm, Djurgården, the Old Town and Kungsholmen.

Arriving at the Old Town, you’ll make your way to the Royal Palace and enter what is known as the official residence of the King and Queen. It’s time to make dreams come true! Not wasting any time, you’ll head straight for the creme de la creme, also known as the Royal Apartments.

After an hour or so your visit to the Royal Palace comes to end and you return to the vehicle waiting to take you back to where you started. Having fulfilled a dream and all the more knowledgeable on Swedish royals through the centuries. Not bad for a morning or afternoon out!?

Due to His Majesty the Kings’s official functions, The Royal Palace may be partially or fully closed.

In the late afternoon, stroll the shopping districts or perhaps add an optional rooftop tour.

Meet your captain at the harbour in the pretty coastal town of Vaxholm, on the edge of the Stockholm Archipelago. Once on board, you receive a safety briefing and then set off on your adventure! You sail through narrow straits lined with beautiful Scandinavian architecture, an eclectic mix of 19th-century homes and modern luxury villas, before crossing larger bays to reach more wild and uninhabited islands.

As you cruise through the maze of islands and skerries, you soon understand how legends have emerged about the islands’ fairies and elves, and why parts of the archipelago are nominated for UNESCO World Heritage and National Park status.

The wildlife, rugged scenery and serenity of the archipelago will blow you away! It really is a very special place, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than on a luxury yacht. Some of the islands are big enough to house a village, some just a single homestead and others so small they have room for only one tree on them! There are towering cliffs, narrow passageways, plenty of forest and wildlife in abundance!

The wildlife and nature are astonishing! Moose, roe deer, fallow deer, and red foxes live on the larger islands, and during the summer months, they swim between them. White-tailed/sea eagles, Canadian geese, eider, loons, arctic terns, ospreys, great cormorants, and other migratory birds can be seen all summer out in the archipelago. You may even get lucky and see grey seals out fishing in the waters!

For lunch, you pick the sunniest, most picturesque island to stop, and whilst taking a break you can explore ashore, search for wildlife, go for a swim and enjoy a delicious freshly prepared meal.

Should you wish, the captain can show you how to man the yacht and let you sail some of the way under his careful supervision.
