With M/S Göta Lejon you get to experience two world attractions during the same day. Göta Canal and the Swedish archipelago.

We depart with the cruise ship M/S Göta Lejon from Östergötland's old trading town Söderköping, dating back to the 1100s. The journey goes through the Göta Canal, this magnificent construction work that began in 1810 and was completed in 1832.

The journey takes us further out into Slätbaken, a long Baltic Sea bay whose shores are lined with castles and mansions. The oldest castle from the 15th century is Stegeborg's castle ruins, which we pass at close range. We stop at the beautiful archipelago island Västra Gärdsholmen and Capella Ecumenica, - Hilding Bielkhammar's life's work. After about 4 hours we reach the old fishing village of Arkösund.
