Eastern archipelago route
Experience the breathtaking beauty of Eastern Helsinki
The Eastern Island Route is Helsinki's only internal water transport route from the mainland to the mainland. During the trip, you will experience authentic island life and, once there, the natural experiences of East Helsinki. The route takes you to the Helsinki archipelago, where other public vessels rarely go to. The trip includes a passage through the Degerö channel and the small islands of Kallahdenselkä. In Vuosaari, Aurinkolahti beach, Kallahdenniemi and Uutelan Nature Park await you. Additional information about the islands along the route is also available on the City of Helsinki's website.
From June to August, as part of the OmaStadi project, new island stops will be added to the route, and the departure point will be moved to Meritullintori, near the Market Square. Two vessels operate simultaneously - one departing from the city center and the other from Vuosaari. The route will be: Meritullintori – Kalasatama – Herttoniemi – Laajasalo – Vartiosaari – Kotiluoto – Kivisaari – Satamasaari – Rantapuisto – Malkasaari – Iso Iiluoto – Leikosaari – Neitsytsaari – Vuosaari. There are two stops in Vuosaari: Hiekkalaituri and Rantapuisto. The full cruise duration is approximately 3 hours.
In September, the Eastern Archipelago Route runs the following route: Kalasatama – Herttoniemi – Laajasalo – Vartiosaari – Kivisaari – Satamasaari – Iso Iiluoto – Leikosaari – Vuosaari. The cruise duration is then approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
