ABBA Museum / Princess Stockholm on your own your

[raspberrypie123]

Hi.

 

We will be going to Stockholm with Princess on their organised “on your own” tour from the Nyanashamn port. Can anyone advise where the tour bus would stop in Stockholm and how long it should take to get to the Abba museum which my wife wants to visit? Would like to know ( by foot, public transport) so can book a ticket/ time slot at the museum in advance.

 

 Thanks in advance.

Someone on Princess forum or someone in your roll call might be able to provide definite information.

 

Usually, it is near Palace or near train station.  

 

You can either take Tram 7 or if you rather walk down Gamla stan first then Ferry 82 from Slussen can take you across (stops right behind ABBA museum) in 10 minutes 

 

VASA museum is next door which is the top tourist attraction in Stockholm. But it is about one particular ship which sunk upon launch.

 

It's unfortunate that you will miss out on the most attractive part of Stockholm port visit (sailing in and out through archipelago)

 

Personally, I filter out sailings that stops at Nyanashan and not go to Stockholm.

Thanks. That’s very helpful. When I booked the cruise it was docking in Stockholm but got changed shortly afterwards ☹️.

As a rule of thumb Princess cruises either berth at Nynäshamn or have several hours shorter time in port when they do berth in central Stockholm. Thus they should be avoided.

On the Island Princess in a few weeks it says we are tendering into Stockholm.  Do you know anything about that?  Will we be near the central area?  Where do ships usually tender? Thanks

Wow, thanks so much!  It looks like we will be docked and not tendered.  Is that what you think too?  Thanks again.
