There were multiple landslides. One blocked the highway. Another blocked the train.

Vasa Museum is on an island with Tivoli and other museums. Gamla Stan is a different island. There is ferry service between them. Using buses, subway and ferries, you can get to the either one or both from the cruise port. But, transportation will eat up a lot of your time. I would pick one or the other. If you prefer museums, go to Vasa and the other museums there, If you like wandering the Old Town, palaces and government buildings, go to Gamla Stan. We spent a whole day in Gamla Stan and took a canal tour that went around the museum island.

Did you follow the link? What date are you sailing? Which ship?

Do you know which cruise port you are embarking at? You can find that info at https://www.portauthoritynsw.com.au/cruise/sydney-cruise-schedule/ There are two cruise ports in much different sections of Sydney. The Ocean Passenger Terminal is at Circular Quay, right downtown near the Opera House and downtown hotels. The White Bay Cruise Terminal is in an industrial port. There are no hotels or any other tourist areas near White Bay. Our cruise is leaving from White Bay. We like staying downtown, so we have a hotel near a downtown train station and will taxi to White Bay. If we were leaving from the OPT, we would stay in a hotel close enough to walk to the ship on embarkation day. We are looking at doing a DYI tour to the Blue Mountains on the day before embarkation day.

The train station is at the port. Train #42 runs to Stockholm Central Staion. No transfers required. Google Maps uses the same icon for bus and train.

We saw wild storks from the tour bus between Gdynia and Gdańsk.

The cruise port schedules are published at https://claalaska.com/?page_id=665 Pick the port and scroll down to the date you are going to be there.

From Nynashamn, you take the train to Stockholm Central Station. You can walk to Old Town from there. The train takes a little more than an hour and runs frequently.

If you’re not stopping there n the cruise, I would recommend Stockholm. However, there will be a train change at Lund or Malmo.

Look at the Ketchikan Trails guide. https://uploads.alaska.org/maps/ketchikantrailmaps.pdf Married Man’s and Schonbar trails are close to Creek Street. Rainbird trail is a little farther away. Deer Mountain trail head is farther yet, but hikeable. Other trail heads probably need a shuttle or taxi.

It can take an hour or more to get from the cruise port to central Stockholm. So you have to allow for two hours transport to and from town and another hour to get from old town to the Vasa Museum. You will spend half the tour on the bus.

According the official port schedule https://www.sydneyport.ca/_files/ugd/941752_0e2b50e8e21743e69c34dbcd6c29d68d.pdf the Arcadia is at Main Dock while the Seven Sea Grandeur is at Liberty Pier. Sydney docks can handle two ships. If there is a third (or fourth) ship the port schedule will say Anchor (A or B). Of course, docking assignments can change anytime.

You should receive detailed luggage handling and luggage tags in your cabin two days before the end of the cruise. You will get two different luggage tags - “Meet me tonight” for luggage that will go to your first hotel and “Meet me in Anchorage” for luggage that will go to your last hotel. You can take a day bag on the bus and train, Your luggage will travel separately. You leave the luggage outside of your cabin/room early in the morning. It will be delivered to your hotel room. If you have the Holland transfer to the airport, you will leave your luggage outside your room in the morning. Holland will store the luggage and deliver the luggage to you in the airport terminal. If you handling your own transfer, you will need to arrange your own storage as well. when we did the cruise tour, we had two large suitcases. We packed all of our laundry and cruise specific stuff into one suitcase and tagged it for the last hotel. The other suitcase was tagged for “Meet me tonight”. The last day we sent all of the luggage to the airport except for a daypack, gored the city for the day, returned to the hotel for a 9 pm transfer bus to the Airport for a 11:45 pm flight. It all worked well. You will receive detailed info on the ship, on the bus, on the train and at each hotel, On our tour, there was a presentation in the theater in the morning of the last sea day for all folks on cruise tours. The presentation was generic, but very informative. There was a cruise tour manager who held office hours to handle questions and problems, but the line was long that last day.

Photo Point is approximately 1.5 miles from the foot of the glacier. Nugget Falls is approximately one mile from the foot of the glacier. You are closer but not real close.

Here is the port schedule for the Westerdam in Sydney next winter. Westerdam - Sydney.pdf

From Stadsgarden to Vaasa on foot requires crossing three bridges, It’s about a two mile walk. You’d cross the Slussen bridge to Gamla Stan, walk the length of Gamla Stan past the palace, take Strömbron bridge to downtown, walk along the wharves to the Djurgårdsvägen bridge to Museum Island.

You can see the foot of the glacier from the beach in front of the falls. When we were there in 2019, there was a sand spit out into the lake that have you a better angle on the glacier as well as the falls. However, you see more of the glacier from the photo spots along the way out to the falls.

No, it is not walkable. Taxi would be fastest. There is the 76 bus, which would take about a half hour to get to Gamla Stan, There is also the harbor ferry 80, which has a dock right at the end of the cruise pier, which takes an hour to get to Gamla Stan. It is a nice scenic route, which includes a change of ferry to ferry 82 at Museum island where you could visit Vasa Museum or Tivoli.

Slight correction: the Dive In is usually near the Lido interior pool.

On the first sea day, you will be crossing the Queen Charlotte Sound, between the Queen Charlotte Islands and the British Columbia mainland. The ship will keep its distance from both the islands and the mainland.
