Savonlinna City Cruise s/s Saaristo
City Cruise in the Spirit of the s/s Figaro
The returned S/S Saaristo takes you on a nostalgic journey through the labyrinthine archipelago in the spirit of the legendary “S/S Figaro.”
S/S Saaristo sailed the inland waters of the Savonlinna region from 1975 to 2005 under the name S/S Figaro. Now, this legendary steamship has returned to Saimaa from the shores of the Baltic Sea. To celebrate its return, scenic cruises are offered around the Saimaa archipelago, beginning with a tour around Olavinlinna. During the 1.5-hour cruise, you’ll see narrow passages, islands, and stunning landscapes – perhaps even a glimpse of the Saimaa ringed seal.
Welcome aboard the steamship cruise!
Discover the Finnish summer with a shoreline cruise through the gorgeous Saimaa Lakeland labyrinth. See the heart of the Lake Saimaa district and Savonlinna’s famous medieval Olavinlinna castle. A sightseeing cruise on the original Finnish handmade steamship S/S Saaristo lets you experience a part of Finnish inland lake history. The combination of fascinating Finnish national scenery and a traditional steamship offers an unforgettable experience. The steamship cruise lasts one hour and 30 minutes.
