Gota Canal all very nice , good food 5 & by and large staff were ok & friendly - thats whats good said and out of the way. Firstly it is way over priced - on the verge of ridiculous and one could quite easily (with a minimum of what Gota Canal 7 day trip would cost !) afford a... More

Thanks to the tripadvisor reviewer who put us on to this cruise on the Gota Canal. We booked through Euro River Cruises and chose the 4 day option.

once-in-a-lifetime cruise into the beautiful Swedish countryside on old boat with tiny cabins and shared toilets; but: everything was kept clean; the food was delicious, and the staff and guide (who spoke 12 languages...) were both knowledgable and friendly. Had an amazing 4 days onboard in August. More
