Lunch Cruise from Lahti to Vääksy Canal

Step aboard m/s Suomen Neito in Lahti Harbour for a four-hour summer cruise across Lake Vesijärvi to the historic Vääksy Canal and Lake Päijänne! Leave the city behind and enjoy beautiful lake scenery as the ship makes its way towards one of the highlights of the journey: the lively Vääksy Canal.

Watch the lifting bridge open and experience the canal lock up close as the ship glides through the canal, surrounded by leafy shores and a charming atmosphere. People often gather along the canal to watch the ship pass, exchanging cheerful waves with passengers on deck. Beyond the canal, the cruise continues briefly onto Lake Päijänne before returning to Lahti.

Find your favourite spot on one of the ship’s sun decks and enjoy the Finnish summer breeze. For families, the canal lock and the chance to see the ship’s bridge make the journey a little adventure. You may also visit the bridge with the captain’s permission to discover where and how the ship is navigated, adding another memorable experience to your cruise!

Enjoy a generous lunch buffet prepared in the ship’s own kitchen, featuring Finnish flavours and locally sourced ingredients. Admire the beautiful lake scenery from the onboard restaurant while dining. The onboard restaurant also offers a tempting selection of sweet treats, ice cream, freshly brewed coffee and refreshing drinks, along with wines and cocktails to enjoy during your cruise.
