Icebreaker Arktis Cruise

The Icebreaker Arktika Cruise is a thrilling experience that allows travelers to sail through the frozen waters of the Gulf of Bothnia. Departing from Kemi, Finnish Lapland, this cruise offers a ride on an icebreaker ship as it plows through solid ice, creating massive cracks and icy waves. Tours are available from December to April and can be booked online or through local operators. One of the highlights of the tour is the chance to walk and float on the frozen sea once the ship makes a stop.

Guests can also take part in the unforgettable experience of floating in the icy water, fully protected by a thermal survival suit, making it both safe and exhilarating. The cruise lasts around 3–4 hours and includes a guided tour of the ship, where visitors can explore the engine room, control room, and learn about the technology behind icebreaking. Hot drinks and snacks are usually provided on board to keep guests warm. Northern Lights cruises are also available in the evening, combining the thrill of icebreaking with the magical Arctic sky. Tours are available from December to April and can be booked online or through local operators.
