What to expect

Experience the magic of the Arctic aboard the iconic Icebreaker Sampo on an unforgettable adventure across the frozen Bothnian Sea. With round-trip transfers from Rovaniemi to the harbour in Kemi included, your journey is seamless from start to finish.

Enjoy a 3.5 to 4-hour icebreaker cruise as the mighty ship carves its way through thick sea ice. You’ll be welcomed on board with a non-alcoholic drink and invited on a guided tour to explore the engine room, captain’s bridge, and other fascinating areas of this historic vessel.

One of the highlights is the chance to float in icy waters while wearing a thermal survival suit — a unique and surprisingly relaxing Arctic experience. Weather permitting, you can also step out onto the frozen sea and walk across the ice. At the end of your cruise, you’ll receive a certificate to commemorate your adventure.

On board, relax in warm lounges or visit the café-restaurant while taking in panoramic winter views.
