ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY
Have you ever floated in the sea? Now you can experience it! We’ll start with a two-hour drive to Kemi, where our guide will take care of everything, allowing you to relax and enjoy the countryside views along the way. Once in Kemi, we will board the Icebreaker Sampo, a massive vessel built in 1960 to operate in extreme Arctic conditions. It has a long and distinguished service record, and for nearly 30 years, it kept shipping lanes open in the northern Gulf of Bothnia. The Sampo Cruise is a four-hour adventure on the frozen sea in Kemi. During the cruise, you’ll get to experience ice floating, walk on the ice, take a guided tour of the vessel, and receive a diploma. A welcome drink and a buffet lunch or brunch are also included. It’s an exciting and unique experience to sail on a massive ship through the frozen sea and enjoy a true winter adventure. When it’s time for the ice floating, you’ll be provided with a special survival suit, ensuring a safe and comfortable swim in the icy waters. After the cruise, you’ll return to Ranua, where you can relax in the sauna and enjoy other delightful experiences.
