Museum Steamship Cruises 2026

The world’s last original wood-framed steamship Mikko keeps on going powered by a steam engine and metre long birch logs. The heating of the steam engine starts on the day before. Public cruises are operated during the summer and autumn. The long cruise season ends with an autumn colours cruise in early October.

The 112-year-old steamship Mikko is owned by Riihisaari – Savonlinna Museum / The City of Savonlinna.
