CAN I BRING…?

Can I bring a baby buggy/stroller onboard?
All our boats and buses have different conditions. On the archipelago ships and the modern transport boats you can bring a baby buggy/stroller as far as space allows, but we do recommend a foldable one since there is not much room of the boats are full. On many of the boats you need to be able to carry the baby buggy/stroller in stairs or over thresholds.

On our sightseeing boats in Stockholm, Rundan Sightseeing boats  in Malmö and on Paddan Sightseeing boats and M/S Glenn in Gothenburg we do not have the possibility to carry a baby buggy/stroller. None of the sightseeing buses in Gothenburg and Stockholm have room for a baby buggy/stroller. At our ticket booth in Kungsportsplatsen in Gothenburg and at Strömkajen in Stockholm we offer locks so you can secure the baby buggy/stroller outside the ticket booth. In Malmö we do not have that possibility.
