Museum Steamship cruises 2025

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 always starts on the day before. The long cruise season begins in July and ends with an autumn colours cruise in October.

The 111-year-old steamship Mikko does public cruises in the summer and autumn. It is owned by Riihisaari – Savonlinna Museum / the city of Savonlinna.
