The Arktis Ice Breaker Cruise is a one of a kind experience. You can have an all in one experiences in one trip with the professional guides and crews. Enjoyed the Ice floating, Sauna and the cozy hot tub while in the middle of the amazing views. It is a 10/10 experience.

Check this off your bucket list.
This is an all-day adventure. It took several hours to get here from our hotel. Once we did, we were ready to be on our way, but we were kept for nearly an hour in their terminal to give us the opportunity to shop. We were anxious to get underway as the shopping was pretty much restricted to tourist tchotchkes. Arrival at the terminal seemed pretty chaotic as you had to check in and instructions were not very clear. Our ticket included a lunch, which considering how many passengers on the ship had to be fed, was pretty good. The most exciting part was seeing all the ice and then going way north to the arctic. Those who wanted could descend down to the ice and walk on the frozen Baltic Sea. There was also an option to put on special protective suits and float in the icy water. This experience was well supervised by the staff. A long day, but worth the trip.

Cross one off your bucket list
Overall, this experience was worthwhile. It was something to be up in the Arctic on an icebreaker. It started off on the rocky side, however. One we arrived at the terminal, we were kept waiting for nearly an hour to give us time to shop. We were not interested in the tourist tchotchkes. A few minutes would have been plenty, especially since it took several hours by bus to get there. Lunch was included, and considering they were serving a large group, it was pretty good. A highlight was being able to get out and walk on the frozen Baltic Sea. If you wanted to, you could also sign up for a dip in the water wearing the provided protective gear. Participants were monitored closely for safety.

Sampo Breaks the Ice!!
A very nice experience of being on an ice breaking ship, touring the bridge, and getting in the icy waters in the survival suit for a short period of time. Lunch was included on ship and it was plentiful and delicious. There is a bar to get drinks too. After your plunge, you are treated to a taste of certain liquors/gin/vodka in an ice shot glass. When the ship stopped in/on the ice, you could go outside and take pictures, play cornhole, push a sled, etc for a bit of time.

Unique experience
Beautiful experience on icebreaker. A tour of the ship is made (commander's room, radar, electrical app., engines). Stop on the pack where you can walk, and bathe with thermal suits in the Arctic sea. Beautiful landscape.

Even if we return after so many years it is one of those few cases where you are not disappointed! Ice castle aside!
I had already had this experience in 1991 and remarkably since then nothing has changed in the organization of the cruise. Punctual and well organized also the transfer by coach from the hotel. Instead, the ice castle has changed, which at the time was much more impressive and located in an area closer to the boarding. Now it's a bit disappointing and the ice sculptures are in a covered and refrigerated area inside the building from which you leave for the cruise. They confirmed to me that they have reduced everything because of the costs and because in any case from other parts of the world there are similar constructions. So it's time to stop saying it's the greatest ice construction, because it's not like that anymore. As far as shipping is concerned, I have been confirmed that at present the ship can only travel pre-established corridors for technical reasons, as the depth of the sea has decreased over the years and would risk reaching the bottom. The experience is still very nice, however, and even floating disguised as a conduit is fun.

A must do activity ! It...
A must do activity ! It is an awesome experience to be traveling through ice on this 1960 ship that you can extensively visit during the cruise. Ice floating was relaxing and a very unique thing to do.
