Lappeenranta - Boat Trips

Lappeenranta is the base for boat trips on Lake Saimaa. There are regular services to Mikkeli and to Savonlinna, as well as cruises on the lake lasting a few hours or several days. In summer there are excursions to the Saimaa Canal and the Russian frontier, through the Saimaa Canal to the Russian town of Vyborg (formerly the Finnish port of Viipuri) and to St Petersburg (to which there are also coach trips; visa required).
