Ever dreamt of cruising through a frozen wonderland? The Sampo Icebreaker Cruise in Kemi, Lapland, will turn that dream into reality. This isn’t your typical cruise; it’s an epic expedition into the heart of the Arctic, where frozen landscapes meet raw power. Available from mid-December until the end of April, it’s an experience you’ll never forget! The ship has a capacity of 180 pax and early booking is highly recommended.
A Journey Aboard a Legend
The 3 hour 30 minute adventure starts the moment you step onto the mighty Sampo. This huge icebreaker, a veteran of conquering the icy seas of the Gulf of Bothnia, exudes an air of rugged charm. One of the cruise’s highlights is feeling the raw force of the Sampo as it carves a path through the frozen expanse. From the deck, you’ll witness an amazing display of power as the massive hull shatters ice sheets, sending shards flying.
Unforgettable Activities in a Frozen Paradise
The Sampo Cruise offers unique experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Walk on ice and take the plunge (literally!) into the frigid waters – outfitted in a survival suit, of course. Floating amidst the vast, icy landscape is a surreal experience. For those who prefer dry adventures, the ship’s heated lounges provide a cozy haven. Panoramic windows offer great views of the frozen world as you sip on a warm drink and enjoy lunch – the perfect way to soak in the Arctic beauty.
Unique option: If conditions are right, instead of boarding the Sampo in the Port of Ajos, you can ride out onto the frozen waters of Bothnia Bay on snowmobiles and watch the Sampo cut through the ice to your boarding position.
