Boxholm II takes passengers out on Lake Sommen in a wood-fired steamboat. Visit Sweden says the vessel has operated on the lake since 1904, first carrying timber and, from 1966, only passengers. Wikidata lists it as heritage-listed.
The operator describes two-hour lake trips that leave from different jetties. Its summer programme includes lunch and evening cruises with food, storytelling or a guide, and themed trips. One Friday market route travels between jetties and stops in Tranås for shopping; passengers can book a one-way or return journey. Family outings may include pirates, while a trip to Blåvik includes Swedish fika. An evening cruise stops at Torpön’s ferry landing for a troubadour, with food and ice cream available there.
The operator also offers private charters, with the hiring group choosing when to travel, what to see and how long to be out. Visit Sweden says charters can be arranged for occasions such as birthdays, weddings, association outings and company events. The operator’s page describes these as summer trips and invites visitors to book through the site. The information provided does not establish a November sailing schedule, so the summer programme should not be taken as a timetable for this week.
Good to know
The operator invites visitors to book summer trips directly through its website.
