Our waterway cruises Sweden

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 Mota­la 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).

Sport, culture and Nature : the secrets of a successful river cruise in Sweden

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.
