m/s J.L. Runeberg at Porvoo, Uusimaa, Finland

The city of Porvoo can be easily reached by a main road from Helsinki in about 50 minutes but also by a much more leisurely 3.5 hour trip on the steamship m/s J. L. Runeberg along the Porvoonjoki river, the coast and through the Helsinki Archipelago.
The m/s J.L. Runeberg was built in Helsinki in 1912. Originally she sailed under the name s/s Helsingfors Skärgård (”Helsinki Archipelago”). In the beginning this steamer cruised west from Helsinki to Porkkala but in the 1930’s the name was changed to s/s J.L. Runeberg and the ship cruised to Porvoo for the first time.
