EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO CRUISE

FRS Finland operates Helsinki’s most gorgeous archipelago route between Kalasatama and Vuosaari from the beginning of May until the end of August. The Eastern archipelago route is the only water route in Helsinki which takes you from mainland to mainland and gives you an excellent view into the everyday life in the archipelago.

The route passes KALASATAMA-HERTTONIEMI-LAAJASALO-VARTIOSAARI-SATAMASAARI-IILUOTO-LEIKOSAARI-VUOSARI. The duration of the cruise is 1 hour 45 minutes. During you trip you will get to see parts of the archipelago unaccessible to other routed watertraffic or sightseeing boats. The route passes through the Degerö canal. The café serves snacks and drinks during the cruise. The ship has A-licenses.

Why don’t you spend a fantastic day on board and hop on from Kalasatama for a cup of coffee in Vuosaari? How about a day admiring nature in Vartiosaari? You see a video of the route by clicking here and find the addresses of the piers here.

Note! We do not transport objects longer than 2 meters on board. We do not transport building materials unless otherwise agreed.

The Eastern Archipelago cruise is mainly operated by the vessel m/s Okeanos.

Direct number to the vessel is 050 338 6661. The vessel´s own number will only be answered while the vessel is in traffic. If this number is not answered, call to customer service: 0102023780 Mon-Fri 9.00-15.00. You can also send questions by e-mail info@frs-finland.fi.

Please pay with a debit card (preferably by contact payment; Visa, MasterCard, and Visa Electron are available). Cash is possible only in emergency situation.

We ask customers to stand clearly in the pear area (especially in Herttoniemi) so the vessel´s crew can see that customers are coming, thank you!

Note! We don´t accept bookings, so please come to the queue in time!

Some departures may be congested due to camp transportation to/ from Leikosaari or Kivisaari. We always annonce about that one day before/ the same morning on our Facebook page and at section “ajankohtaista”
