- The Göta Canal has been connecting the east and west coasts of Sweden, and therefore Stockholm and Gothenburg, since 1832. The MS Juno has been there for almost as long: in 2024, the Juno celebrates its 150th birthday. She was put into service in 1874 and offers her cruise passengers the experience of a journey back in time.
She sails leisurely through the narrow, sometimes winding waterway with a total of 66 locks, but also across some lakes in the lush green landscape of Sweden.
Along the way, passengers can get off at a lock if they wish and walk to one of the next locks to get back on or do some sightseeing in between. Because of the many locks, the Juno makes very slow progress on some sections of the route, leaving plenty of time without missing the ship.
But the Juno itself is also charming, because even though it is now powered by a diesel engine and no longer by a steam engine, it has otherwise retained its original, nostalgic flair.
The cabins on board are very small and have a washbasin but no private toilet or shower. This is part of the fascinating adventure of a Göta Canal voyage on the Juno - and you know this beforehand and simply prepare yourself for it. The cabin doors on the bridge and shelter deck are basically open all day, as the Juno doesn't have air conditioning either. The MS Juno is a very unusual ship by our modern standards. But that is exactly what makes her unique and incredibly fascinating.
