Gaff schooner Joanna Saturna is one of the newest sailing vessels in the Baltic Sea. Summer 2005 was her very first year under sail since 1950s. She was totally rebuilt during years 2000-2005 to the true modern classic she is today.

The restoration work was done under the supervision of the Finnish Maritime Museum and Joanna Saturna is registered as a historic class vessel by the Finnish National Board of Antiquities.

Now you will be able to sail aboard a traditional sailing ship while enjoying the luxurious comforts of modern time. On board there is a fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning, central heating, floor heating, water-closets (7 ) and, naturally, a sauna.

On day trips Joanna Saturna can comfortably board 50 persons and on longer cruises there is adequate room for 14 quests for overnight stay.

The amazing history of your cruise ship from

antiquity .. SV Joanna Saturna 1903-2007

1903 The ship was built in Holland. She was given the name Joanna Saturna I and was registered in the Netherlands as VL.74. Originally built for herring fishing, colloquially she was known as a Herring drifter. She sailed for her first 25 years.

1927 The ship was sold and the new owner changed her to a freighter. The rig remained the same.

1928 She Was Renamed, Marie.

1955 After being sold several times, she was renamed again to Ran.

1968 Once again she passed through even more owners and was renamed, yet again, She became Raider Iden. Years passed and she ended up in Norway at one stage even transporting sand and her final Norweigan owner, Einar Hernar, changed her name to Fjordsand.

2000 In February, Mikko Karvonen from Helsinki, Finland bought the ship from Bergen in Norway when the old owner Mr. Hernar retired. In June, Karvonen (with the help of his friends) took the ship from Bergen to Helsinki, powered by its own engine. The distance was approximately 1,1750 kms. (1100 miles) and it went without a hitch. Three years later the old lady had her 100th birthday and she finally got back her original name Joanna Saturna.

2005 to the present day Joanna Saturna goes back to her roots after five years of long and arduous restoration, which was done under the supervision of the Finnish Maritime Museum. Joanna Saturna is now registered as a historic class vessel by the Finnish National Board of Antiquities. The ship was ready to sail in the spring of 2005 and you, dear reader, are about to experience the Beautiful Baltic by embarking upon a journey through three archipelagos, in a, now very modern, ship from antiquity.
