Our first cruise season in 2022 is in the books! And it was a great one 🙂 We met plenty of great people, shared many stories, and learned a lot. Even though most of the stuff and operations were new for us, we can say with a pure heart we are on to something.  You can watch a compilation video from the season above, enjoy!
Our ship Polaris 1 runs on renewable diesel and we are proud to be in front of sustainable troops to do our part for the environment. We know this is not a perfect solution, but it is a step in the right direction!
We were pleased to notice how nimble our ship is. We can dock Polaris 1 to shallow sandy beaches, rocky beaches, and sideways to rock faces. Pretty cool!
Now we are one season more experienced (and older) and pretty darn happy to rock the season 2023! Come onboard to experience the unique landscape, ship, and crew. More info about our tours you can find here.

Risteilykausi 2022 on nyt takana ja se meni aivan mainiosti! Ensimmäinen reissu heitettii 1.6 ja kauden viimeinen 24.10. Pihjalajanveden Polkasu, joka on Luonto Saimaan -hanke, oli myös meidän tuotteena ja oli ensimmäistä kesää asiakkaille tarjolla.Â
Vihreät arvot ovat olleet firmalle keskiössä alusta lähtien ja se näkyy meidän joka päiväisessä toiminnassa. Alus kulkee uusiutuvalla dieselillä, sähkö tuotetaan kuudella aurinkopaneelilla ja luontoarvot ovat kohdillaan muillakin osa-alueilla, esimerkiksi yhteistyö Metsähallituksen kanssa sekä toimimme Pidä Saaristo Siistinä RY:n -kannattusyrityksenä.
Meidän alus Polaris 1 on osoittautunut erittäin ketteräksi menopeliksi, jonka saa ankkuroitua lähes minne vaan Saimaalla! Reissut suunnitellaan aina asiakkaan kanssa ja se on ehdottomasti osottautunut oikeaksi tavaksi toimia.
Nyt olemme yhden kauden kokeneempia ja fiilis on mitä mahtavin! Eli tervetuloa risteilemään meidän kanssa kaudella 2023!Â
