Patricia

About

Welcome aboard the MS Patricia, a true landmark on the Stockholm queer travel guide and one of the most unique nightlife experiences in Scandinavia. Permanently anchored at Söder Mälarstrand, this historic former steamship transforms into a floating palace of glitter and dance. While it operates as a multi-level venue throughout the week, it is most famous for its legendary 'Gay Sundays,' a tradition that has anchored the city's LGBTQ+ scene for over 30 years. Spanning four floors and boasting seven bars—including two breezy outdoor decks perfect for the Swedish summer—Patricia offers a variety of vibes for every traveler. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a high-quality meal in the restaurant, try your luck at the onboard casino, or dance until the sun rises at 5:00 AM, this ship has it all. The Sunday club is a must-visit for gay men and the wider queer community, often hosted by Sweden’s iconic drag queen, Babsan. Expect a high-energy mix of 'Schlager' (Eurovision-style pop), house, and club classics that keep the dance floor packed. When navigating your gay map of Stockholm, Patricia is an essential stop for those seeking a welcoming, unpretentious, and festive atmosphere. There is nothing quite like watching the sunrise over the Stockholm harbor from the deck of a ship after a night of queer celebration.
