Step aboard M/S S:t Erik for a classic sightseeing cruise through Gothenburg’s harbour and out into the southern archipelago. With open sea views, island scenery and live guiding along the way, this is an easy and memorable way to experience Gothenburg from the water.
See Gothenburg from the Water
The 2.5-hour cruise departs from Lilla Bommen in central Gothenburg. As the city fades behind you, the route takes you past Nya Älvsborg Fortress and towards the islands of the southern archipelago.
Your live guide brings the journey to life with stories about Gothenburg’s maritime history, the landmarks along the route and everyday life in the archipelago. Guiding is provided in Swedish and English.
Choose the Experience That Suits You
Book the sightseeing cruise on its own and enjoy drinks and light snacks from the onboard café. For a more complete experience, you can add food when booking. A food ticket includes a reserved seat in the ship’s dining room:
- 11:30 departure: Choose the day’s lunch – meat, fish or a vegetarian option.
- 15:00 departure: Choose a Swedish fika platter or a shrimp sandwich.
The 15:00 departure is only available on selected dates. Check available departure times when booking.
Please note that outside food and drinks are not permitted on board.
