Traditional Sail Ship Österstjernan

Embark on an unforgettable sailing journey from Loviisa Harbor aboard the magnificent historic sailboat Österstjernan. Cruise to Rankki, Kaunissaari, or around Orrengrund. Enjoy a day or two at sea, learning about the islands and history of the Eastern Gulf of Finland.

The original packet ship Österstjernan sailed from Loviisa to Stockholm between 1815 and 1848, carrying passengers and cargo. Reflecting its historical counterpart, the modern Österstjernan, built in 2006 through volunteer work, offers a unique experience of past maritime journeys.

Choose from day trips or overnight sails, selecting your preferred destinations from the sailing program. The friendly crew serves meals and entertains passengers with tales of the sea. Membership sails are easily accessible by adding a €15 support membership fee.

Gather your group and request a quote for a membership sail. Propose a sailing trip or destination, and receive a memorable package tailored to your theme. Whether for team building or celebrating a special occasion, enjoy a unique day at sea with your company or organization.

Sailings are organized by volunteers from the Österstjernan association, who also maintain the ship. Loviisa Harbor offers ample free parking, with downtown amenities within walking distance.
