Stockholm, Sweden - Called by some the GREEN and BLUE city.

Stockholm, Sweden 

Waterways and bridges strung between freshwater lake and the sea, Stockholm is best seen on foot or by a waterway cruise. Enjoy cobblestone streets while visiting a beautiful 17-century palace near the harbor.

The city of Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. The inner city is made up of 14 islands connected by some 50 bridges on Lake Malaren, which flows into the brackish Baltic Sea.

Glass and handicrafts in Stockholm
Swedish glass is sought after all over the world – known for both simplicity and elegance. Creative design ideas combined with skillful craftsmanship are behind this success. There's also a lot to see in Stockholm when it comes to pottery and wood.
The Swedish glassworks have always been good at attracting young talent, and in recent years the art of glass has evolved even further. Today Swedish glass has a broad range, from pure and simple, kitschy and humorous to advanced figurative design. Pottery and handicrafts have also found a new audience in recent years. (Reported by www.visitstockholm.com) Your Celebrity cruise will give you the opportunity to see all this and more in the amazing city of Stockholm.

Ice Bar in Stockholm, Sweden is said by Celebrity cruises to be the coolest bar in the city made entirely of ice. Take a shore excursion to the Ice Bar. The interior, including drink glasses, is made of pure, clear ice from the Torne River in Northern Sweden. The year round temperature hovers at an invigorating -5C (23F) so you will appreciate the warm ponchos and gloves provided.

Stockholm is a cosmopolitan place with both classical and modern architecture, and a captivating Old Town, Gamla Stan. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways, and another 30% is made up of green spaces. A fantastic Port of Call on your Celebrity Cruise.
