On the opera cruise, you can combine a scenic cruise with transfer to the opera via the rear dock of Olavinlinna Castle. The boat departs from Savonlinna Harbor on opera evenings at 5:30 PM and cruises for approximately one hour in the nearby archipelago of Savonlinna. The boat docks at the rear dock of Olavinlinna Castle at approximately 6:30 PM, from where you can conveniently proceed to the opera performance, avoiding the longest queues. The boat has a café where you can purchase refreshments, café items, or even sparkling wine. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Saimaa’s playful resident, the seal. The boat has plenty of covered space, so rain is not an obstacle for the cruise.
If your schedule changes, tickets purchased from the online store can be exchanged for the same boat’s cruise on another day throughout the 2026 cruise season.
