Feedback from our customers
“Nice and polite welcoming to the ship. The captain told about some places and spots during the boat trip with relaxed tone. Weather was perfect and sunny and for me who’s been living 11 years in Lahti but never been on a cruise here before it gave me lots of new things and views and so new places! :) Really liked the boat sightseeing between Lahti and Vääksy Canal!”

“The old steamship S/S “Suomi” is still sailing strong after 100 years. The nostalgic three-hour cruise is a must, if you want to experience the old-time charm of slow travel and see some of the beautiful archipelago of Lake Päijänne. There is a restaurant and a cafe/bar on the boat and seats both inside and on the deck.”
