Kemi: Arctic Explorer Icebreaker Cruise with Ice Floating

Travel from Kemi and Tornio to Axelsvik in Swedish Lapland with an included round-trip shuttle.

Board the Arctic Explorer at Axelsvik in Swedish Lapland for a 2.5-hour icebreaker cruise through frozen sea ice. Explore the ship at your own pace with an onboard E-Guidebook while the local crew takes care of safety and the onboard experience.

During the cruise stop, step onto the frozen sea when conditions allow. You can also put on a thermal survival suit and float in the icy water. The crew makes the final decision on all ice activities based on ice thickness, sea conditions and safety.

Warm up with a hot drink on board. At the end of the cruise, receive a Cruise & Swim Certificate signed by the Captain.

After the cruise, return by shuttle to your selected Kemi and Tornio drop-off point.
