Back in 1837 Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen travelled
along the canal to Stockholm.During the journey he became a personal friend of Fredrika
Bremer who boarded in Vänersborg. In fact Andersen
was so impressed and inspired by the journey that he returned
for a second trip in 1849.
At the age of 60, playwright Henrik Ibsen travelled the same route. Explorer Sven Hedin was on
the same journey. Both wellknown gentlemen socialised extensively over chinking whisky tumblers
in the bar lounge.
On-board decadence has probably never been greater than in the summer of 1983, when Danish travel agency multimillionaire Simon Spies celebrated his honeymoon aboard the Wilhelm Tham. There had never been a journey like it. In addition to the young bride Janni and Spies himself, there was also the Spies company management, around 30 service staff, a nurse, two bakers, a couple of chefs and some security guards, as well as selected journalists.

King Oscar II enjoyed hunting on Brommö island in Lake Vänern. The king and his hunting team loved to
start their journey by canal boat. The story doesn’t say
what the King and his companions drank, but it’s probably safe to assume they weren’t teetotallers…
