Travel from Rovaniemi to Axelsvik in Swedish Lapland and embark on an exhilarating three-hour icebreaker cruise across the frozen Gulf of Bothnia aboard the Polar Explorer, a real industrial icebreaker now repurposed for adventurous explorers.
Witness the ship carve its way through the sea ice from the open decks. When conditions permit, you'll have the opportunity to step onto the frozen sea and even float safely in the icy water wearing a survival suit. Rest assured, the crew will provide full safety instructions before the activity.
Aboard the ship, you can follow a live guide or take advantage of an audio guide available in multiple languages. Take some time to visit the on-board cinema and warm up in the cosy restaurant. For added convenience, this experience includes round-trip shuttle transfers from selected pick-up points in Rovaniemi.
