A unique experience.

Published on Jan, 2025

Although this is very expensive, I think it is such a unique experience, we really enjoyed it. It was fascinating learning how the ice breaker works, and its history. Obviously the external activities are weather dependent, and whilst we could do the ice floating, we were not able to walk on the ice this time as it was not thick enough in a large enough area. We were fine with this, as that is only one element of the whole experience (if bring on the ice/floating are the only reasons you want to go on the boat, then you would have to consider if it would be worth it, but for us, the whole experience of being on a boat on a frozen sea is incredible, and that in itself was well worth it!). It was interesting watching them checking the depth of the ice and finding out how that worked. When it came to the ice floating, the suit is a bit awkward to walk around in, and quite tight around your face (naturally), however it is an incredible experience to float around amongst the ice. Be prepared for the less than graceful exit from the water!
