Consisting of a tailed mermaid form sitting on a rock with a height of 1.25 meters, the statue takes on a more realistic state with the image that emerges when the waves hit the rock on windy days. Edvard Eriksen designed the face of the statue by modeling ballerina Ellen Price; since the ballerina did not want to pose nude, the body of the statue was completed by his own wife modeling.

Free time after breakfast in the morning. Guests who wish can join our guide's optional Sigtuna - Vasa Museum Tour (100 EURO Per Person). We start our tour, where we will have the opportunity to get to know Stockholm, the most beautiful city of the Scandinavian Peninsula, in detail, first from Djurgarden Island. Our first stop on this island, which was once the hunting ground of the Swedish Royal Family and today houses many museums, is the world-famous Vasa Museum. Featuring over 95% of its original parts preserved and hundreds of carved statues, Vasa is a unique art treasure and a leading tourist attraction. The ship is exhibited in a purpose-built museum in Stockholm, housing simultaneously nine related exhibitions, a well-stocked souvenir shop, and a luxury restaurant. The Vasa Museum attracts more visitors than any other museum in Scandinavia. Stockholm is worth visiting just for Vasa. On August 10, 1628, a great warship set sail to leave Stockholm harbor. This newly built ship was named Vasa, after the coat of arms of the Vasa dynasty on the throne. To celebrate this magnificent event, a salute is fired from the cannons emerging from the gunports on its sides. As the powerful ship slowly makes its way towards the harbor exit, a sudden violent storm breaks out. The Vasa heels over but rights itself. A second gust of storm pushes the ship on its side. Water rushes in through the open gunports. The Vasa drags at least thirty, perhaps fifty, of its 150 crew members down to the bottom with it. It took 333 years for the Vasa to see the light of day again. Private researcher Anders Franzen began searching for the Vasa in the early 1950s and rediscovered the Vasa in 1956. After Vasa, we will be heading north of Stockholm to Sigtuna, a Swedish village where the early founding stories of the Vikings and Viking history began.
