Review & FAQ:

Kemi is located at the northern end of Bothnian Bay, in Finnish Lapland. This Arctic town is a winter wonderland and is home to the Snow Castle, a beautiful seasonal attraction open from January through April and featuring beautiful tunnels, rooms, walkways, and sculptures, all made entirely from ice. There is a snow restaurant, an icy chapel where people come from all over the world to get married, and even an ice hotel where brave guests can spend the night in sub-zero temperatures. Kemi is also home to the icebreaker Sampo, a gigantic ship designed to smash through the thick ice of the polar seas, and visitors can take a cruise on Bothnian Bay in this leviathan of a ship.
