The original route that Silverline owes its name to passes in between the cities of Tampere and Hämeenlinna in the breathtaking sceneries along the lakes Pyhäjärvi and Vanajavesi. On the journey, we will make a special stop at Visavuori where visitors can explore the home studio of illustrious Art Nouveau sculptor Emil Wikström and drop in at the permanent exhibition dedicated to the satirical cartoons of his grandson, Kari Suomalainen.

On the waves of silver

Soon after leaving the harbor of Tampere, you will see the magnificent ridges of Pyynikki and Pispala. Further along the route, the ship will pass through the spectacular strait of the Sotkanvirta River in Nokia before going by the famous churches in Hattula. Just before arriving in Hämeenlinna you can marvel at the formidable medieval Häme castle with its red brick fortifications rising high right from the very edge of Lake Vanajavesi.

We operate on the Tampere – Hämeenlinna route with m/s Silver Moon, which provides the perfect setting for admiring the changing waterway scenery, enjoying the food and drink on offer or just quietly unwinding on the gentle waves.

Aside from Visavuori, the route will pass by the Lepaa winery, the Lempäälä Canal, the entertainment spas of Aulanko in Hämeenlinna and Eden in Nokia, the Myllyranta event park in Lempäälä and the restaurant/hotel Vaihmalan hovi (fifteen minutes from the Lempäälä Canal).
