Smuggler's Evening Sightseeing
Prohibition Act themed evening sightseeing cruise
The Prohibition Act, which was in force between 1919 and 1932, created an unprecedented level of smuggling. During the cruise, you will hear stories about perhaps the most famous smuggler, Algoth Niska, and how the police and e.g. customs vessel Nordvakten tried to prevent the sale and importation of the Finnish spirit pirtu.
Welcome to an unforgettable m/s Helsinki 2.5 hour evening cruise, offering you the chance to experience the beauty of Helsinki from a whole new perspective. Join us on a trip to the idyllic Western archipelago, where the sea and the scenery combine to create the perfect experience. The cruise departs from the famous Helsinki Market Square, and along the way you will not only admire the Eastern Archipelago, but also e.g. the beautiful Kruununhaka neighbourhood and the delightful UNESCO World Heritage site of Suomenlinna.
Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and let your eyes rest on the best sea view on the ship's sundeck. From the café-bar onboard, you can enjoy a refreshing drink and a snack throughout the cruise. The summer terrace menu will be published soon!

m/s Natalia
The ship is a three-deck restaurant ship with up to 100 dining places indoor on the lower and middle decks. In addition, the ship has a large sun deck on the third floor.
All our ships have full licensed bar facilities and a wide range of beverages.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, the traditional m/s Natalia is not fully accessible due to a few stairs, which is why we do not recommend the boat for wheelchair users. We offer more accessible cruises with m/s Helsinki from Helsinki Market Square.
