Summer tours in the centre of Roslagen
Out into the island world! Do you want to feel the sea breeze and discover the Roslagen archipelago outside Norrtälje? Here you will find boat trips and tips that will take you to islands, bays and salt-splashed adventures.
Waxholmsbolaget - scheduled boat services
Waxholmsbolaget offers year-round services to several destinations in the Roslagen archipelago. Their ships, such as the 298-passenger M/S Roslagen, operate routes from Norrtälje, Furusund and Vaxholm to islands such as Gräddö, Lidö and Fejan. Timetables are updated four times a year, and some routes only run during specific periods, so it is important to check current timetables before travelling.

Blidösundsbolaget - steamer with history
Experience the archipelago in a historical way with Blidösundsbolaget's steamboat tours. Their pride and joy, S/S Blidösund from 1911, offers both day trips and evening cruises with or without musical entertainment. During the summer, the boat leaves Skeppsbron in Stockholm for Norrtälje every Friday and returns on Sundays, stopping at several of the archipelago's most beautiful islands.

Car ferries between the islands
If you want to take your car out into the archipelago, there are several car ferries that connect the islands of Roslagen with the mainland. The Swedish Transport Administration operates ferry services between Furusund and Yxlan, for example, as well as between Yxlan and Blidö and Öregrund and Gräsö. These ferries are free of charge and run several times a day, making it easy to explore the islands by car.
