An old mahogny cruiser and her captain specializes in group charter for groups up to seven people. A three hour cruise costs 150 euro and we go out in good weather only.
2. Museumship Pommern
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 226 reviews
The museumship Pommern is the world’s only 4-masted sailing ship still in its original state. On board you can explore the ship from hold to charthouse. The ship is a part of the Aland Maritime Museum, an exciting museum for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories, fantastic objects and lots of interactivities. The Aland Maritime Museum is open all year round, the museumship Pommern between May and September.

Touring the Pommern was so much fun with the headphones narrated by the ship's rat, Ruby. I absolutely loved climbing around all the rooms in the ship and seeing where different sailors got to sleep (LOVE the bunks!). The officer's quarters were so ornately decorated, and the captain's cabin has a little tube running from the deck straight to his bed so he can speak with whomever is on deck. Down in the vast hold you can experience a storm at sea. Excellent exhibits.

Old pilot station, museum and cafe.

4 of us took kayaks and paddled to the island. It’s not difficult if you paddled before (it can get a little choppy near Kobba klintar, I suggest not going if it’s more than 8 m/s wind) and can read a map, just watch out for the ferry crossings, so make sure you reach the island before 13 and stay until 14:30, during which time you can have a sandwich, a coffee and see the small museum.

A visit to the Aland Maritime Museum is exciting for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories and fantastic objects, such a genuine 18th century pirate’s flag. There are also lots of interactivities, such as a climbing mast, a bridge simulator and a karaoke. Seadog, landlubber or in between - Aland Maritime Museum has something for everybody.

Maritime museum is very interresting place to visit for people all ages. We have three kids, ages 6, 12 and 15 and we all enjoyed our visit very much. There was a quiz for children and they loved it! They got an icecream as a prize. If you visit Mariehamn, you should definately visit Maritim Museum.

The Lilla Holmen is just the cutest little island. At least two small bridges goes to the island. There are nice seating areas and a nice beach. There are animals too; bunnies and birds. The atmosphere was, at least during my visit, very peaceful and relaxing (not so many people around). A hike path starts from Lilla Holmen and runs to the southern part of Marianhamina and then goes to the west side of the island where is partly wooden walkways by the shore. It is a lovely route and part of the Mariehamn Runt.

Uniquely situated by the beach Mariebad offers a beautiful sea view as it is built over the sea bay Slemmern in the Aland Islands. Enjoy the refreshing sea breeze when you sit in the outdoor cafe or on the patio that runs around the entire building. This unique location also features a beach for swimming in the salty waters of the bay. Both children and playful adults can enjoy themselves outdoors at the beach, or indoors in the popular recreational pools with waterfalls and swirls. From the tall tower, a 65,5 meter waterslide runs down into the pool from dizzy heights. Mariebad also has an exercise pool and a teaching pool. In the winter you may also go for a winter bath outdoors. If you're looking for peace and quiet, seek out the comfortable spa and relaxing area. Mariebad also has a cafe that serves warm appetizers and pastries. In the summertime there is an outdoor serving area. Welcome to Mariebad! The name Mariebad derives from both the city Mariehamn and bath (meaning "bad" in Swedish).
