Viking’s Ships and a River Cruise Ship «Korolenko»

Other places

The Viking’s ships and the river cruise ship «Korolenko» are vessels created in various countries and currently used in different ways. However, they share some similarities: they attract tourists in Vyborg no less than the urban architecture.

Viking’s ships or drakkars are wooden vessels 24 meter in length, with a lipped keel and fore. They stand at the Hotel «Druzhba» in Vyborg and bear an indirect relation to the real Vikings. In the 1980s, a Soviet film director Stanislav Rostotsky was filming here a movie about the Vikings — «Trees Grow on the Stones Too». Two rowboats were specially made for the filming on the pattern of the Norwegian Gokstad ship, a real vessel of the Vikings. After the filming, they were donated to the town.The river cruise ship «Korolenko», standing in Salakka-Lahti Bay, is a passenger vessel designed in Germany in the 1950s. It was so named by the Germans themselves: the ship was built along with 14 other passenger ships named after the Russian writers. The «Korolenko» was long used by the North-Western steamship line. It was also running along the Don for several years. Now it is a budget hotel: there are single and double rooms on board with the baseline minimum conditions, and also a coffee bar.
