Icebreaker Cruise in Sweden

The mighty Icebreaker operates on the Gulf of Bothnia right outside the city of Batskarsnas, Sweden. The cruise offers you the most exciting, memorable moments in the arctic nature; while the huge vessel breaks ice, you may admire the beauty of vast open ice fields all around, and the ever-changing sky above. The sun may reflect the white snow cover, or, as the twilight sets in, it may set down in rays of warm colours of yellow, orange, and red, even lilac, and more.

On board the Icebreaker you will have a guided tour from the captain’s bridge all the way down to the engine rooms. A delicious meal is served in the ship’s elegantly cozy Restaurant. And: before returning to the port, the ship will make a one-hour stop to enable each visitor to participate in the swimming event, comfortably dressed in impermeable survival suits. At the end of this unique cruise experience, the captain will present the Icebreaker Cruise Certificate to everyone.

Good to know: During the cruise we recommend you dress in layered, warm outerwear to stay comfortable both inside the Icebreaker as well as out on the deck. In conjunction of the swimming/floating event, the ice and weather conditions permitting, clients may be allowed to walk on the ice also. Due to safety reasons, about 15 clients are allowed to go floating at the same time.  Your personal floating time is mentioned in the tailored cruise timetable you receive upon arrival. Swimming/floating event is voluntary, though we highly recommend this utterly unique experience.Please note minimum height for swimming/floating is 145 cm.

All Lapland Welcome cruises include return transfers from your hotel, appropriate winter clothes and shoes, transfers to the icebreaker and back and ice swimming. After the cruise we will enjoy the lunch in Kukkola fishing museum and restaurant. See the best salmon river in Europe and a masive rapid.

The tours starts from Rovaniemi.
