★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 6 hours · from $506

A 6-hour Lapland Arctic day trip from Kemi to ride an icebreaker, walk on frozen sea ice, and swim in survival suits in the Bothnian Sea.

“This was one of the best experiences of my life! Floating in the Baltic Sea was such a surreal moment. It was mesmerizing watching the ship break through the ice. I never felt bored as there was plenty to do. There weren’t many people on our ship, and weren’t many who wanted to swim, so my husband and I were able to spend 20 minutes in the water before other guests started showing up. The captain was so friendly and had interesting information about how he operates the ship. The food was delicious- the Swedish flag on the mashed potatoes was a nice detail.”
