The visionary and modern passenger ship was first built in the Soviet Union in 1957. Unforgettable futuristic shapes, powerful underwater wings and unprecedented speed of travel: a vehicle that surpassed the expectations of the time was associated with freedom and extremely rapid scientific progress.

Innovative ideas soon reached Lithuania, in the early 1960s Rocket ships arrived in Kaunas and immediately began voyages along the bends of the Nemunas. The ship, which accommodated almost sixty passengers at a time, sailed the river on several different routes, and the number of rocket launches increased over time to as many as ten ships!

These impressive, sentimental trips to Lithuania lasted until 1995 and surprised even several generations of holidaymakers.

History remembers that the most popular ticket on this ship was Kaunas – Nida. The trip to the picturesque banks of the Nemunas ended in the beloved port of the Curonian Spit. The route became a real hit: there were long queues to wait for it, and tickets were melting like the necessities of necessity.

Inspired by the ideas of the legendary ship and nostalgic images of the past, we turn a page in the history of the Rocket and prepare the crew for new routes.
