Arctic Explorer icebreaker cruise in Swedish Lapland

Embark on a thrilling journey aboard the Arctic Explorer, an authentic industrial icebreaker now repurposed for intrepid adventurers. Experience the exhilarating sensation of the vessel's hull clutting through thick ice as you traverse the frozen Gulf of Bothnia in Swedish Lapland.

When conditions permit, disembark for a guided walk across the sea ice, allowing you to connect with this starkly beautiful environment. You'll also have the opportunity to float in the icy waters while wearing a warm survival suit that ensures your comfort and safety.

On-board audio commentary lets you discover the engine room and the science of icebreaking. Throughout the expedition, which lasts approximately two and a half hours, you'll have the opportunity to engage directly with the raw power and majesty of nature.
