I am pretty sure it was Viking. We booked it downtown in the same complex as the train station. The line had one ship that left from Stockholm, but had less than a 30 minute stop on the island. We took a ship which required a 30 minute bus trip [supplied by the shipping line] north of Stockholm. It provided several hours on the island and came back late afternoon. The bus left and returned to the downtown train station with several stops out in the burbs. It was a VERY inexpensive day trip. Make sure you book the smorgasbords when you get your tickets.

We would also recommend the double deck hop-on-hop-off buses in Stockholm.

BTW: The train information office has an Internet kiosk where you can send canned photos of Stockholm to your friends. If they have not fixed it yet, you can "escape" out to the Internet from the page where you send the photo. I was able to check my Yahoo mail and visit FreeRepublic from there for free! :)

Thanks. I think I heard of this trip. I was amazed that they just went out and back.

The double deckers are cool but Stockholm is so small I think I've hiked almost every street to date.

I also recommend the Sunday Brunch at the Grand Hotel. Thats a must when we have company... a taste of Sweden with instructions on how its to be done....
