Tour Highlights

Get ready for a full day of Arctic magic. This tour takes you from your hotel in Rovaniemi straight into the heart of Lapland winter. You’ll visit Kemi’s famous SnowCastle and gemstone gallery, then head out onto the frozen sea for a breathtaking cruise. Walk on solid ice, try floating in icy water in a thermal suit, and soak in the silence of the Arctic.
If you’re dreaming of a real Lapland experience—with snow, sea ice, and something you’ll never forget—this is the one.

❄️ Step inside the SnowCastle – Explore a world built entirely of snow and ice, rebuilt every winter with new surprises.
💎 See sparkling gems from around the world – Kemi’s gemstone gallery is home to rare stones and even Finland’s crown jewels.
🚢 Feel the power of a real icebreaker – Watch it crack through thick sea ice and take a guided walk through the ship.
🧊 Float in freezing water (and stay warm!) – Suit up in a special thermal outfit and try an Arctic dip you’ll never forget.

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, you’ll arrive in Kemi—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 it’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 you’ll see sparkling minerals, rare stones, and Finland’s own crown jewels.

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

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