A waterway cruise on the Göta Kanal, discovering the country of 100,000 lakes
We’ll give you all the tips for captaining your rental houseboat at our Sjötorp or Söderköping base. In both cases, you’ll navigate the Göta Kanal, one of the jewels of Swedish heritage, dug in the first half of the 19th century. Prepare your itinerary and let yourself be guided by your momentary desires as you organise stopping points during your cruise. The 7 locks of Berg or the manual lock of Borensberg will be unforgettable stages of the journey for all members of your crew. As with everywhere else, a waterway cruise in Sweden will also offer you the opportunity to indulge in all your favourite activities : with over 100,000 lakes, Sweden represents a paradise for fishing, as well as hiking and cycling (the towpath along Göta Kanal means you can look forward to some beautiful walks and rides).

Plan your stops as you travel through some of the most spectacular sites along your route. Visit the museum in Motala where you’ll be able to discover the canal’s history. Karlsborg will give you access to one of the largest fortresses in Europe. This building, from the beginning of the 19th century, covers over 100 hectares and exploring it will be a highlight of your cruise. You can also allow yourself to be seduced by the medieval town of Vadstena. In addition to its imposing castle, you’ll discover the remains of the first convent of the Order of Saint Bridget. Finally, to give every member of your crew the opportunity to really enjoy your Swedish waterway cruise, you can take advantage of the many nautical bases built around the lakes you’ll cross.
