Embark on an unforgettable themed cruise with us—Savonlinna-Risteilyt 2024 season offers a rich selection of cruises that will take you through the heart of Lake Saimaa and its stunning archipelago! The season kicks off in May with unique seal cruises heading to the enchanting Pihlajavesi archipelago. Come experience the hidden world of the Saimaa seal and get to know the habitat of these endangered creatures.
Midsummer's Eve bonfire cruises in June bring traditions to life: experience the magic of the nightless night and Midsummer spells in a whole new way on the waves of Lake Saimaa. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the summer with friends and family, where the scent of Midsummer birches and the nightless night meet the brilliance of the bonfires.
Opera enthusiasts are pampered in a special way: enjoy an experiential cruise in the southern archipelago on opera nights, tasting pre-opera dishes compiled from local delicacies on board, designed to tune you into the evening's opera performance. Smoothly transition from the ship directly to the evening's opera performance. This is a unique opportunity to combine two art forms—the beauty of nature and the enchantment of culture.
Autumn brings mushroom cruises, where gastronomy enthusiasts can dive deep into the flavor world of mushrooms. Guided by Saimi Hoyer and Jarkko Korhonen, you'll learn to identify and utilize forest offerings in a whole new way. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of local food and the possibilities offered by nature.
Additionally, in the fall, we cruise to Oravi for the festival of light and enjoy the rhythm of jazz with Reine Rimon and her Hot Papas band.
