Tour Program

Day Day 1

Your adventure begins early in the morning, when we pick you up right from your hotel in Rovaniemi. After a peaceful drive through snowy landscapes, youโ€™ll arrive in Kemiโ€”a small coastal town where ice, sea, and snow meet.
First, you’ll visit the SnowCastle, a fairytale-like structure made completely of snow and ice. Every winter itโ€™s rebuilt with a brand new design, filled with detailed sculptures, icy corridors, and even a snow chapel. Just next door is the Gemstone Gallery, where youโ€™ll see sparkling minerals, rare stones, and Finlandโ€™s own crown jewels.

Next comes the highlight of the day: the icebreaker cruise. For about three hours, youโ€™ll be out on the frozen Gulf of Bothnia, watching the ship crush its way through the ice. Youโ€™ll get to explore the inside of the ship, walk safely on the frozen sea, andโ€”if you’re feeling braveโ€”float in the icy water wearing a warm survival suit. Youโ€™ll even get a diploma to prove it!

As the day winds down, youโ€™ll return to Rovaniemi by comfortable coach, tired but glowing from an unforgettable day in the Arctic.
