The Djurgården ferry (Swedish: Djurgårdsfärjan) is an inner city ferry route in Stockholm, Sweden. It runs from a terminal near Slussen, in the old town of Gamla Stan, to Allmänna gränd on the island of Djurgården, with an optional stop at the island of Skeppsholmen. The service is integrated into Stockholm's public transport system, as route 82, and accepts all the relevant tickets of Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL). It is operated on behalf of SL by Waxholmsbolaget and its sub-contractors, Djurgårdens Färjetrafik.^[1][2][3][4]

All of the ferry's stops are close to visitor attractions, with the Slussen terminal close to the old city centre and the Royal Palace, the Skeppsholmen stop near to the Moderna Museet, and the Djurgården terminal close to the Gröna Lund amusement park, the Vasa Museum and the Skansen open-air museum.

Depending on the time of day and day of the week, the ferries operate three, four or six times per hour. Two ferries are normally required to operate services, with an extra ferry required for the six services per hour frequency. The service carries some 2.2 million passengers a year.^[5][6]

Not all trips stop at Skeppsholmen, and a journey to or from there may require a passenger to travel via Slussen or Djurgården. Skeppsholmen is a request stop and passengers wishing to disembark there must inform a crew member on boarding. Passengers wishing to join the ferry are required to summon the ferry by pressing a button at the stop.^[3][6]

Ferry traffic in Stockholm's harbour dates to the 18th century, when rowing boats were stationed at different locations. During the 19th century steam ferries took over traffic to be followed by modern motor-powered ferries. However road and rail routes increasingly took over, and the Djurgården ferry is one of the few of the harbour ferries to have survived.^[5]

Waxholmsbolaget took over the Djurgården ferry in 1970. In 2014 the responsibility for the ferry service was transferred to Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), and it was fully integrated into that body's ticketing system. Waxholmsbolaget continue to own the ferries, and subcontracts their operation to Djurgårdens Färjetrafik, who are a joint venture of Serco and Strömma Turism & Sjöfart [sv].^[1][5][7]
