Guided Museum Ship Tour

During the Guided Museum Ship Tour, we will visit the historic steamships docked at the museum pier by Lake Saimaa.

Highlights of the tour include the 152-year-old steam schooner Salama. The magnificent Salama sank and spent more than 70 years at the bottom of the lake. We will also step aboard the 112-year-old s/s Mikko, the world’s last authentic tar steamer. In addition, you will hear about the 133-year-old pilot ship Saimaa and the 156-year-old steam tug Ahkera, both spending the summer at Riihisaari.

The tour takes place outdoors on the pier, on the decks, and inside the ships. The ships are not wheelchair accessible. The tour is held in all weather conditions.
