Canal Boats

You will not find the equivalence of our historical canal boats anywhere else in the world, and the canal itself is unique. Each of our three handsome, historical ships is designed to fit the most narrow lock on the canal like a hand in a glove.  

The ships have been carefully refurbished and preserved to reflect the times when they were built. Built in 1874, the M/S Juno is the world's oldest registered ship with overnight accommodation. The M/S Wilhelm Tham was built in 1912 and our youngest ship, M/S Diana, in 1931.

There are three cabin classes, one on each of the ship's decks - the bridge, shelter and main decks. The size of the cabins is comparable to a smaller sleeping compartment on a train. Most of the cabins are fitted with bunk beds. There is a washbasin in each cabin and there are shared WCs and showers on each deck.

Meals are enjoyed in the mahogany and brass decorated dining room. The salon is a place for socialising, conversing or reading one of the books in our small ship's library.

M/S Juno

M/S Juno is the world’s oldest registered cruising ship, built at the Motala shipyard and launched in 1874. The ship has got 29 cabins on three decks. The dining room with a lounge is found on the middle deck (shelter deck) and the upper deck (bridge deck) offers a covered aft deck with a perfect view.

M/S Wilhelm Tham

M/S Wilhelm Tham was built at Motala Werkstad and was launched in 1912. She was listed in 2004 by the National Maritime Museums, considering her historically important. This distinction naturally makes us quite proud as it proves our efforts to preserve the ship have succeeded.

M/S Diana

The M/S Diana is the youngest of the company’s ships, built at the Finnboda shipyard outside Stockholm and launched in 1931. There are 25 cabins on three decks. The dining room and lounge are found on the shelter deck and the bridge deck offers a covered aft deck with a perfect view.
