What you can expect

  • Escape the city on a scenic Stromma boat excursion from Gothenburg to Vinga, the westernmost island in the Gothenburg archipelago. Travel aboard M/S Carl Michael Bellman through the Port of Gothenburg and across open water to this remote, characterful lighthouse island.

    The cruise takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes each way, giving you time to enjoy the coastal scenery from the sun deck or the comfortable indoor areas. Live commentary in English and Swedish is provided through onboard speakers, sharing insights as you travel through the archipelago.

    On Vinga, you will have two hours to explore independently. Discover the island’s nature reserve, admire the iconic 1889 beacon, or unwind by the sea at one of its swimming and sunbathing spots. Vinga is also known as the birthplace of Swedish troubadour Evert Taube; his birthplace museum can be visited on the island.

    You may also join an optional 45-minute guided island tour, arranged by Winga Vänner and paid for on site. The tour includes a visit to the top of the 30-metre-high lighthouse and entry to the museum.

    Food, snacks, hot and cold drinks, beer, wine, and alcohol-free options are available to purchase on board. Book your Gothenburg archipelago boat tour with Stromma and experience Vinga’s wild coastal beauty.
