Cruises to Stockholm, Sweden

Princess ships typically dock at Frihamnen or Stadsgården, both active cruise terminals within city limits. Frihamnen is slightly farther out, while Stadsgården puts you closer to Gamla Stan. Either way, it’s easy to get into the center with a short ride or a longer walk, depending on your pace.

Some Princess itineraries begin or end in Stockholm, but most treat it as a port of call. That means you’ll usually arrive mid-itinerary — ready to explore, not just getting started.

Late spring through early fall is prime time. June, July and August offer the longest days and mildest weather, which makes sightseeing, boat tours and walking excursions way more enjoyable.

Shoulder seasons like May or September often come with lower fares. You might run into cooler temps or fewer hours of daylight, but it’s a smart trade if your goal is saving a bit. Princess Cruises also offers incredible value year-round, with offers like free 3rd & 4th guests, exciting last-minute cruise deals and rotating deals and promotions to help you make the most of your getaway.

Summers are mild and rarely too hot, usually in the 60s and low 70s °F. Spring and fall bring cooler mornings and the chance of rain. Pack layers, expect a breeze and don’t let the clouds fool you — the light here is still great for photos.
