Did you know that Turku was once the capital of Finland?
The city was founded in the late 13th century and was the most important city in the country for several hundred years. It was home to both the bishop’s seat and the country’s first university.
Or did you know that Turku once had a bustling shipyard along the Aura River — a shipyard that, at its peak, employed a significant share of the city’s residents?
You will hear and experience this and much more on our guided cruises. Join us on a journey through history — from the medieval castle to today’s vibrant cultural city.
