Rovaniemi: Icebreaker Aurora cruise & floating

Step into a world of winter magic, glowing lights, and arctic adventure on the Aurora Cruise. Experience an enchanting Arctic night aboard the Polar Explorer Icebreaker.
Step aboard the Polar Explorer Icebreaker for a magical evening in the heart of Swedish Lapland. The Aurora Cruise offers a unique blend of adventure, entertainment, and Arctic beauty. Sail through the icy waters of the Bothnian Sea on a powerful icebreaker while surrounded by the possibility of shimmering northern lights.

Your experience begins in Rovaniemi, where our comfortable shuttle bus will pick you up from one of six convenient locations — simply choose the stop closest to your accommodation. Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive through snowy Lapland, crossing the border into Sweden as you make your way to the Polar Explorer Icebreaker terminal in Kalix.

Begin your evening with a glowing disco on ice, where music and vibrant lights create a festive atmosphere against the backdrop of the frozen Arctic. Explore the ship’s seven decks with a guided audio tour available in 15 languages, and learn about the fascinating history and mechanics of icebreakers. Watch a short film in the onboard cinema showcasing icebreakers worldwide and their essential role in navigating extreme conditions.

During the cruise, step onto the frozen sea for an unforgettable walk under the open night sky. Feel the serenity of the Arctic as you stand on thick ice surrounded by silence. For the adventurous, suit up in a thermal flotation survival suit and take a daring dip in the icy waters — a thrilling and safe experience in the icebreaker’s pool.

As the evening unfolds, keep an eye on the skies for the aurora borealis. While not guaranteed, the chance to see the northern lights from the deck of an icebreaker is truly magical. End your journey with a certificate signed by the Captain, a keepsake of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After the cruise, our shuttle bus will take you comfortably back to Rovaniemi, letting you relax and reflect on your extraordinary Arctic adventure.
