Savonlinna: Canal hopping cruise from Savonlinna to Kuopio

Step aboard the steamship S/S Heinävesi and journey through the historic Heinävesi route, one of Finland's most beautiful waterways. Depart from Savonlinna harbor and sail through the serene blue waters of Lake Saimaa, passing through narrow passages, open waters, and historic canals.

Admire the nearly untouched lake scenery, where human influence is limited to historic canals and idyllic village vistas. Pass through the Karvio Canal, the oldest canal on the Heinävesi route, and the Kerman Canal, part of Finland's most beautiful national landscapes.

Experience the lush landscapes, expansive pine forests, and scattered birch groves that characterize the lakeside nature. Pass near Kolovesi National Park, a vital habitat for the endangered Saimaa ringed seal and an important forest conservation area.

Arrive in Kuopio in the evening, having experienced one of Finland's finest examples of lake scenery shaped by inland waterway transport.
