Archipelago
Open-boat and converted ferry hops across the Stockholm skerries and the Bothnian coast, favoured from mid-May to early June.
Three journeys north, capped at eleven travellers
We run three routes out of Stockholm each season — an archipelago sailing for late spring, a fjord crossing for high summer, and a rail passage inland once the birch turns. Every departure is capped at eleven guests and accompanied by a Swedish or Norwegian guide who lives on the route.
- Five to ten nights per journey
- Never more than eleven guests
- Guides journeying every departure

Fjord-houses and slow crossings along Hjørundfjorden and Sognefjord, June through August when the water runs highest.
Inland rail

The journeys themselves
Skerries by Six — 6 nights

Hjørundfjord Deep Bend — 8 nights
Stays split between two familiy-run fjord inns, evening meals prepared on the quays; daytime is glide-steam, short hauls on a launch, and routes taken at whatever the weather allows. Group of ten at most.
Inlandsbanan Sleep, Slow Dusk — 10 nights
Cinnetted views from ten windows and three hostels with kitchens frozen half in winter leave. Long run north from Östersund towards Jokkmokk, one reserved car on the line, dinner served as the bus window chases the low sun. Eleven caps in total; leave lighter.
