Description
Experience an arctic adventure in Finnish Lapland on a cruise in Kemi aboard the Icebreaker Sampo. Enjoy transportation from Rovaniemi, a tour of the vessel, bonus entry tickets, and a buffet lunch.
The Icebreaker Sampo is the only A1 super-class passenger icebreaker in the world. The Bothnian Bay freezes over during the winter months, and the icebreakers keep the lanes open for traffic to the Arctic ports. Sampo operated for the Finnish government for 25 years.
After transportation from Rovaniemi, the icebreaker cruise includes a 4-hour trip on the vessel from the Port of Kemi to the frozen sea, where you can admire ice floating in the midst of the ice blocks next to the Icebreaker. Ice floating takes place during the cruise in small groups. You can get all the needed instructions for ice floating from our guides during the guided tour that is included in the cruise.
Lunch in legendary restaurant of Icebreaker Sampo includes in the price.
Join a guided tour with an onboard guide around the vessel. Walk from the captain's bridge to the control room, then enjoy a welcome drink and diploma showing you have taken this unique cruise. Your cruise also includes entry and a stop at the SnowExperience365, SnowCastle Winter Park and Gemstone exhibition.
