Ice Breaker Mini-Cruises

The frozen sea looks like a vast Arctic wilderness, with ice as far as you can see. The Sampo operates on the northern Gulf of Bothnia out of the port of Kemi in Finnish Lapland. After serving for thirty years as an icebreaker in Arctic waters, the vessel has been given a new task – to act as a cruise ship for ice adventurers.

The Sampo sails from the middle of December to the end of April. If you think you've been everywhere and done everything, get ready for a healthy dose of excitement. Experience the frozen Arctic landscape, the winter darkness, the crackling frost and the clear starry skies, often lit by the shimmering light of the Aurora Borealis.

The excursion begins with a snowmobile ride to the icebreaker, followed by an introduction to the vital work of these ships in keeping the sea lanes open for foreign trade. You can also try swimming in a waterproof thermal suit among the broken ice blocks. Excitement guaranteed.
