Welcome to our most popular safari to the Sampo Icebreaker!

Come and experience the best Arctic Day at Sea with Sampo Cruise. The tour includes a snowmobile safari and a cruise on the Icebreaker Sampo. Not only will you get the chance to experience the beauty of the Finnish winter on a snowmobile but you can also go on an Arctic Icebreaker cruise!

Arctic Day at Sea with Sampo cruise takes you from Kemi through the beautiful frozen sea to the Icebreaker Sampo that is anchored in the middle of the frozen sea. After the snowmobile ride you will board the Icebreaker and the crew will tell you about how the ship functions from the captain’s bridge to the engine room. You’ll witness how the ice, that can be up to one meter thick, breaks on the sides of the ship.

You will get the chance to  try Arctic swimming safely wearing special warm dry suits. After the cruise we will continue the snowmobile safari back to Kemi. Certainly the best thing about this tour is that you can enjoy the wonderful Finnish winter all day and in different ways.

The Icebreaker Sampo sails at the northern Gulf of Bothnia in Finnish Lapland. This vessel is the first icebreaker in the world operating for tourists. After serving on Arctic waters, Icebreaker Sampo was given a new, more fascinating task – to offer remarkable experiences to eager winter adventurers.

This is an unforgettable Arctic experience!
