Posted 1 year ago by posteye in response to viji's question:
I dream of a cruise aboard a ship breaking ice. Is that possible in Kemi?(give a different answer) .
Yes, it is possible and it's a great experience. Embark on the Sampo, one of the few icebreakers accepting tourists, which ventures for 3-4 hour cruises on the Atlantic Circle. Once on board, passengers are invited to step off the hard continuous ice sometimes 3 feet thick for some hole fishing (orange watertight survival suits are compulsory). All these boat trips usually come with some additional land activities such as sled dog rides, reindeer mushing or snowmobile. If interested, book through Sampo Tours at the cost of 150$ for 1-day trips (358/16-256-548).
