Which boat / cruise company to go to Scandinavia with teens?

Older teenagers, none of us good with the heat! I would really love to cruise around Scandinavia, but the ones I've seen seem to be aimed at older passengers.
I don't want my kids pissing off the pensioners and I also don't want them to be bored. They'd enjoy swimming, chilling on deck (I'm thinking summer time). None of us would appreciate massive evening entertainment but maybe something like a cinema?
Does this exist?!

P and O would suit you. Iona does cruises to the Norwegian Fjords, I think one of their other ships does Northern Europe which includes Denmark / Sweden

We've sailed 14 nights to Scandinavia before on Celebrity Eclipse. There was plenty to do including the hot glass studio which we really loved and activities on the lawn on the top deck. The newer Edge class ship may have more to do, but I am unsure if they are sailing that itinerary.

The solarium with a pool is lovely, and the spa is good too. Some of the restaurants have changed since we went, but Murano was spectacular and Tuscan Grill let us dine for two hours while watching all the islands of the Stockholm archipelago, including people travelling to their weekend cottages via small boats complete with their dogs and bags of groceries.

With teens I'd say MSC. They have much better facilities than p and o and are well priced. They often have water slides and high ropes courses , a teen specific club and F1 simulators etc in the arcade.

Royal Caribbean and Ncs would be the next price point up and again are very focused on that age group. No matter what line you go with I'd suggest getting a balcony room as the sofa turns into bunk beds and they are bigger. The interior rooms are tight, especially for kids that old. Very little space.
