Embark on a thrilling adventure aboard the Arctic Explorer, an authentic industrial icebreaker now repurposed for intrepid explorers. Experience the exhilarating sensation of the vessel's hull cutting through the thick ice as you traverse the frozen waters of the Gulf of Bothnia.

When conditions permit, disembark for a guided walk across the sea ice and immerse yourself in this stark yet beautiful landscape. The adventure doesn't stop there. You'll also have the opportunity to float in the icy waters while wearing a warm survival suit.
