Morning departure by steam boat to Mariefred (summer only). It is a beautiful 3.5 hour cruise on the original S/S Mariefred built in 1903. Arrive in Mariefred and check in at Gripsholm Inn and Hotel, Swedens oldest country inn for one night.. In the heart of the idyllic little town of Mariefred is a church, a castle and an inn, all dating from the Middle Ages. The inn is built on the site of the old Carthusian monastery. Explore Mariefred with buildings from the 18th century.

The castle is the main attraction and there are guided tours May 15 - September 15. The castle is internationally known for its outstanding collection of portraits, the Swedish national collection, featuring prominent Swedes from the days of Gustav Vasa to the present. Visit Grafikens Hus, an international center for fine art printmaking. The workshop is used by artists, primarily as a workplace but visitors are welcome.

A steam vintage train will take you to Laggesta where you can catch the train back to Stockholm and Hotel Elite Stockholm.
