Polar Explorer cruise from Kemi

The Polar Explorer Icebreaker Cruise – Our most popular tours!

We will have a day tour to Sweden, which border is in only 30 km away. Our Polar Explorer Cruise is a 3 h Icebreaker cruise, that will give you a unique Arctic experience on the Gulf of Bothnia. The union of the majestic steel, ice and the sea will be unlike anything else you’ve ever expected. We will also pass small Swedish villages and towns and have a lunch in one of them.

Extraordinary experience! Imagine white frozen sea which never storms. The sea water is covered with solid ice. Not to mention the view, which consists of endless whiteness as far as you can see. The sound of crackling ice, broken ice slices rise from the icebreaker bottom letting and dark water splashing out.

During our Polar Explorer Cruise you will have a tour all the way down to the engine rooms and up to the Captain’s bridge. During the 3 hour cruise time you will also have time to  relax in cozy saloon enjoying warm drinks. Bar is also available for beverages and snacks. Before returning to the harbor we will make a stop. Icebreaker makes a pool free from ice in the sea and every guest may have a swim in dark icy water in floating survival suit. Before leaving the ship the captain will present the Cruise and Swim certificate to everyone as a memorable gift. The tour includes transfer from Kemi and Tornio. The Polar Explorer Cruise is an adventure you will never forget!
