About the activity

Kemi is a small town in northern Finland, lying on the Gulf of Bothnia, near the Swedish border in Lapland. On this icebreaker cruise from Kemi, you'll be able to experience the Arctic in amazing and diverse ways, with the cruise showing you panoramic views of the region, and then the ice floating showing you a unique experience, generally only available in Arctic climates.

Your icebreaker cruise and ice floating adventure in the Gulf of Bothnia begins with pick-up from your specified location in Kemi. The guide will drive you to the unique SnowCastle area in Kemi, where you'll check in for your exciting cruise. For the morning cruise, you'll depart directly after check-in and be transferred in a shuttle bus to the harbour in Kemi. For the afternoon option, you'll have some free time to enjoy an optional lunch at the magnificent Lumihiutale restaurant (additional cost) before the adventure starts.

Upon arrival at the harbour, you'll be welcomed on board the Icebreaker Arktis ship by the professional crew. After a quick safety briefing and itinerary overview, your icebreaker cruise in Kemi begins! You'll sit back and relax as the mighty icebreaker sails along the frozen Gulf of Bothnia, ploughing through the thick sea ice. Throughout the cruise, you'll be treated to mesmerising views of snowy landscapes and open icy seas.

At a point the crew will carefully choose, the ship will come to a stop, and you'll be able to walk across the frozen surface, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! During the 3-hour boat cruise, you'll also embark on an ice floating experience in Kemi. An insulated flotation suit will be provided to keep you comfortable and warm throughout the activity. The guide will provide safety instructions and help you submerge in the water. Feel the incredible sensation of floating on Arctic ice in the middle of the remote wilderness!

Afterwards, you'll return to the harbour in Kemi and be transferred back to the SnowCastle area. There, you'll have some free time to explore this remarkable area, home to incredible ice attractions, including the SnowExperience365, SnowCastle Winter Park and Gemstone Exhibition (additional costs). For the morning cruise option, you'll also have time to dine at the Lumihiutale restaurant if you wish. At the end of the enjoyable excursion, you'll be driven back to your original pick-up point in Kemi.

Experience the ultimate winter adventure in Finnish Lapland on this icebreaker cruise and ice floating excursion from Kemi! You won't regret it.
