Lake Saimaa

Saimaa is a labyrinthine lake system whose waters flow slowly from north to south and finally through its outflow channel, the Vuoksi, southeast over the Russian border into Ladoga, Europe’s largest lake.

The Saimaa drainage region covers most of the southern part of eastern Finland, a region about the size of Belgium, extending almost to Lake Oulujärvi in the north and just over the Russian border in the east. In places, there is more shoreline here per unit of area than anywhere else in the world, the total length being nearly 15,000 km. The number of islands in the region, 14,000, also shows what a maze of detail the system is.

The cruise is complemented by a delicious meal

Whether you choose a charter cruise or a sightseeing cruise, our restaurants on board will fulfil your every need. The Scenery of Lake Saimaa’s nature makes dining on steamers a highly memorable experience equal to the best restaurants worldwide. Special menus can be created for individual tastes.
