Sail to the Opera
How about a steamer cruise to take you from the Passenger Harbour straight to Olavinlinna Castle, enjoying a buffet dinner of local specialities on the way? A cruise on the lake labyrinth with its thousands of islands is a magnificent way to put you in the mood for the evening’s performance. The steamer takes you right to the Castle. Disembarking at the rear and making your way under the stage to the auditorium while the orchestra tunes up are memories to savour for years to come.
