Summer Evening Cruise from Lahti to Vääksy Canal

Experience a Finnish summer evening on a four-hour cruise from Lahti to the historic Vääksy Canal aboard m/s Suomen Neito! Sail across Lake Vesijärvi towards the picturesque canal connecting two beautiful lakes, Vesijärvi and Päijänne. Watch as a lifting bridge opens for the ship and experience a fascinating canal lock passage, with charming old buildings, leafy shores and a waterside café just metres away. Beyond the canal, the vast waters of Lake Päijänne await before we return to Lahti.

Make the evening even more special with a generous dinner buffet, freshly prepared in the ship’s own kitchen with Finnish flavours and locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy your meal surrounded by beautiful lake views in the onboard restaurant, perhaps accompanied by a glass of wine from our carefully selected wine list. The fully licensed bar also serves cocktails and refreshing drinks throughout the cruise.

Spend the evening at your own pace: relax on the spacious sun deck, soak up the warm summer atmosphere and admire the changing scenery as the evening light reflects on the water. You may also visit the bridge with the captain’s permission to see the journey from a different perspective and exchange a few words with the captain.
