Karlskrona

Karlskrona offers great hospitality, smooth operations and world class excursions. The city centre is uniquely situated on an island in the middle of an archipelago. This gives a unique, spacious sense to the city and breathtaking views. In 1680, King Karl XI ordered the construction of the city as Sweden’s naval base, due to its location. The naval presence has ensured distinctive architectural qualities, and UNESCO has named Karlskrona a World Heritage City. Karlskrona holds yet another UNESCO-nomination, being a biosphere reserve - a one of a kind combination! Karlskrona City Port can take ships up to 160 meters. Larger ships will anchor just outside, with 10 min tendering into our new and lovely tender port. In both ports, passengers receive a much appreciated welcome, with local entertainment, and hosts from the Tourist Office interacting and handing out maps. There is a complimentary mini-train, a small souvenir shop and rental bikes available.
