Welcome to Sweden
We visited Sweden for the day on both the 2014 and 2024 Baltic Cruise. While we didn’t get to see much of the country, other than Stockholm, we did get to see some great views as we sailed in and out of Stockholm in 2014. In 2024 we spent the day there and then the cruise ended there the following morning.
