Spring ice viewing cruise

A springtime cruise around the time the ice cover of the sea begins to break down. Come with us and experience a specialty of the Bay of Bothnia, pack ice that is accumulated into impressive ice formations, called ‘röyssy’ or ‘röysi’ in the local vernacular. The icy peaks that can rise to a height of 15–20 metres are most common in the outer shallows of the Gulf of Bothnia. With luck, you can also spot seals basking in the sun on the ice formations or floating floes. During the trip, you will also get to roast sausage on an open fire and enjoy some coffee, tea or juice.

The price of the cruise is €48/person (minimum group size 4 persons). The duration is about 3 hours.
