Take a day trip from Kemi to experience our incredible icebreaker cruise.
The shuttle bus will pick you up from multiple locations in Kemi and after a drive to Sweden, your ship will depart from Axelsvik. After a quick check-in, begin one of the greatest adventures in Lapland, a sightseeing cruise through the ice in the Bothnian Sea.
During the cruise, make stops to enjoy floating in survival suits in the middle of the Arctic Sea and walk safely on the frozen sea ice.
Enjoy an audio-guided tour through all 7 decks of the ship via an audio guide application in 16 languages. Watch an exclusive 11-minute movie about icebreakers around the world in the icebreaker theatre.
During the cruise, you will have a three course meal in our cafeteria.
The captain will present you with a Cruise & Swim certificate at the end of the tour as a memorable gift.
After the cruise, enjoy a scenic drive back to Kemi.
