This unique adventure lets you witness the power of an A1 super-class icebreaker as it carves its way through Arctic ice, offering a rare glimpse into life on the frozen sea.

Your journey begins with comfortable roundtrip transportation from Rovaniemi to the SnowCastle area in Kemi. After check-in, you’ll have time to explore the SnowExperience365 and Gemstone exhibitions, immersing yourself in the magic of the Arctic before boarding the ship.

Once aboard, enjoy a guided tour from the captain’s bridge to the control room, where you’ll learn about the vessel’s fascinating history and operations. A welcome drink awaits, and you’ll receive a special diploma marking your participation in this extraordinary voyage.

Good to know

Minimum height for the ice floating activity is 140 cm. Please note: the cruise is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility. All programs have weather permitting. Inside of the Icebreaker it is warm, but with appropriate clothing you will also be able to go outside on the deck to experience the arctic scenery. It is also a good idea to bring your sunglasses with you, especially in springtime when it can be very bright as the snow reflects the sunlight.
