Need help to choose Stockholm shore excursion from MSC Poesia (July 2024)

[Sphera]

We will be on MSC Poesia cruise in Northern Europe in July 2024. We are considering ONE DAY IN THE SWEDISH CAPITAL excursion. It is as 6-hour excursion, but the itinerary is poorly written. It mentions City Hall (1 hour), then 30-minute guided walk around the old town, then 1 hour visit to the Vasa Museum.

Where are the rest of the 6-hour excursion spent on? Has anyone taken this tour before and can comment on it? Does it also include Royal Palace or other attractions?

Thank you!

I am from the US as well and my oldest son has lived in the Stockholm area for almost 9 years now and we've been to visit a couple of times. My personal opinion is that is not enough allotted time to really enjoy those specific attractions.  The remaining time is probably spent shuttling you to/from the port and between the attractions.  Vasa Museum is amazing and we definitely were there more than an hour, as is Old Town (I spent every day there walking the shops), and while we didn't go into City Hall, we did go to the Palace and spent a couple of hours there. It all depends on what interests you.  Maybe google the options available and see what is best for your group. July is an absolutely beautiful time to be in Stockholm!

Is your cruise docking in Stockholm or out at Nynäshamn?
