Strömma Kanalbolaget

Strömma Kanalbolaget is a boat tour operator and departure point for sightseeing cruises, archipelago excursions, and dinner cruises in Stockholm, located at the pier at Strandvägen 8 in the Östermalm district. The company was founded in 1830 as Stockholm’s first canal boat operator and now runs services from this historic waterfront terminal near the Royal National Opera and the Grand Hotel. Visitors board renovated archipelago vessels like the S/S Stockholm here to travel to islands such as Sandhamn, Vaxholm, and Grinda, often with audio commentary in multiple languages. The pier offers indoor and outdoor seating on the boats, and tickets can be booked online or at the terminal, with departures typically running daily from late spring through early autumn. Best times to visit are mornings on weekdays for fewer crowds, and booking ahead is recommended during peak summer season.
