Nynashamn Cruise Port

Oljehamnsvägen 6, Nynashamn, Sweden, 149 41

Nynäshamn Cruise Port is a gateway to the Swedish capital of Stockholm, as well as a jumping-off point for ferries servicing the region and as far as Gdansk. Visitors can explore the wider Swedish archipelago from Nynäshamn, or reach Stockholm—which is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south—by train, bus, or taxi in around an hour.

The basics

A shore excursion with port pickup and drop-off allows you to see most of Stockholm's highlights in just a few hours. Shore excursions typically include a tour of the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and visit to the Vasa Museum, focused on the area's maritime history. The Nynäshamn Cruise Port is a short ferry ride away from the peaceful island of Gotland, home to the UNESCO-listed town of Visby.
