Introduction to the cruise

Welcome to a national landscape. At the heart of the Vanajavesi Valley lies Lake Vanajavesi, flowing as a chain of lakes and rivers. The scenery is shaped by impressive ridges and a rich cultural heritage. Historic churches and manor houses line this waterway, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Häme Castle is especially magnificent when viewed from the lake.

Parking: Hämeenlinna Rantacasino offers around ten 3‑hour parking spaces. A few hundred metres toward the castle (in the direction of Tampere), you’ll find 6‑hour parking spots. For longer cruises, it’s best to use the nearby parking garages.

Flavours and scenery

Tapas buffet is a relaxed yet memorable dining experience. It offers both lighter and richer options, with savoury and fresh flavours in perfect balance. The tapas buffet invites you to taste, combine and return to your favourites at your own pace. A perfect fit for a relaxed evening on the lake.

 

The tapas menu is currently unavailable in English.
