Upon arrival in Kemi, check in and explore the otherworldly SnowExperience365, where ice sculptures and Arctic artistry set the tone for what’s ahead.

Next, transfer to the harbor for the main event: the legendary Icebreaker Sampo. This four-hour expedition is a true bucket-list Arctic adventure as the ship crushes its way through solid sea ice—an experience few travelers in the world can claim. Go behind the scenes on a guided tour of the vessel, walk directly on the frozen sea, and for the bravest among you, suit up for the unforgettable ice-floating experience, drifting effortlessly in the icy water beneath the vast northern sky. Warm up onboard with a welcome drink and a hearty buffet lunch while soaking in the raw beauty of the Arctic seascape. Each guest receives a commemorative diploma, marking your official initiation into icebreaker life.

After returning to the pier, travel back to Rovaniemi, where adventure gives way to comfort. Enjoy dinner at the hotel before settling in for a night beneath the Arctic sky—your premium igloo offering front-row views of the wilderness and, with a bit of luck, the Aurora Borealis dancing overhead.
