Cruise Description
The four-day trip in one of the old passenger boats on the Göta Canal from Göteborg to Stockholm (or vice versa) is one of the most memorable tourist experiences Sweden can offer. The total distance by water is 560km/350miles, of which 87km/55mi are in canals. To overcome a difference in height of 91.5m/300ft there are 65 locks on the route. The service operates from mid-May to the beginning of September.

The four boats which ply on the Göta Canal are old, but have been brought up to modern standards. They do not carry cars, but the shipping company can arrange for the transport of passengers' cars by land.
