Polar Explorer Icebreaker Cruise and Ice Floating from Luleå

Come aboard on an impressive icebreaker ship for a day on the frozen Bothnian sea. Built in 1976, the Polar Explorer was specially conceived to break through impressively thick ice in Arctic waters; during this trip, you will get to experience the full extent of its motor as it crushes its way into the water.

Your adventure begins with a pick up from Clarion Hotel Luleå where you will meet your guide and set out towards the terminal. As you set sail towards the Icebreakers, you will explore the Polar Explorer, including the Captain's bridge and the engine room, while learning about the history and science of icebreaking through a multilingual audio guide available in 16 languages. Watch an informative film in the onboard cinema and gain insight into the vital role icebreakers play in Arctic operations around the world.

Once at sea, there will be opportunities to disembark and go for a walk on the ice. Step directly onto the frozen sea ice and experience the silence of the Arctic landscape! For an even more memorable experience, you can optionally wear a thermal flotation survival suit and float safely among the ice-covered waters, surrounded by Lapland's wilderness!

During the rest of the trip, you will be free to relax in the cozy saloon, with some warm beverages, and take in the stunning views over the expanse of ice. If you are hungry, you may enjoy some snacks at the cafeteria at your own expense. At the end of your adventure, the captain will present a Cruise & Swim Certificate to everyone as a memorable gift.
