Fans of Stieg Larsson's thriller trilogy have increased the interest in traveling to Sweden. Larsson didn't live to see his massive success which includes selling over 46 million books worldwide and an upcoming Hollywood film of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by director David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig. Crystal Cruises has announced a new Crystal Adventure, "Stieg Larsson's Stockholm."

Crystal's Larsson-focused shore excursion will take guests to the Stockholm island of Södermalm for a walking tour centered around his novels' content. This view will be offered on three summer Baltic voyages on Crystal Serenity: May 22-June 2's "Baltic Explorer"; June 2-13's "Regal Treasures"; and June 27-July 8's "Jewels of the Baltic."

All three itineraries include overnights in Stockholm, as well as visits to Estonia, St. Petersburg, Finland, Germany, and Copenhagen. The outing is an additional $118 per person, and includes additional panoramic Stockholm highlights. Two-for-one cruise fares, starting at $6,730/person, include free round-trip air transportation from more than 20 North American gateways, and $2,000 per couple in "All Inclusive-As You Wish" shipboard credit, with additional savings for new-to-Crystal guests.
