One of the highlights is the chance to walk on the frozen sea (weather permitting) and float among the ice while wearing a thermal survival suit — a unique and surprisingly relaxing Arctic experience. At the end of your cruise, you’ll receive a certificate to commemorate your adventure.

On board, unwind across two cosy indoor decks and enjoy panoramic Arctic views from the modern café as you sail through this extraordinary frozen landscape.
