For the floating activity, we provide survival suits. Avoid skirts, dresses, and high heels on board
Ice floating is optional and always supervised by the crew. You wear a survival suit over your clothes, and the suit keeps you floating in the water. You do not need to know how to swim.
The confirmed minimum height for the activity is 125 cm. The crew makes the final decision on the day if weather, ice, health, or fit makes floating unsuitable.
There is no luggage storage on the ship, and large bags are difficult to carry due to narrow pathways and steep stairs. You only need your phone and wallet during the cruise.If you have luggage, you can safely store it in our onshore storage, just ask a guide for help.If you’re arriving by shuttle bus, you may leave your belongings on the bus.
Walking on the frozen sea is possible when the ice is thick enough. This is always the captain's decision and cannot be guaranteed for every departure, especially early in the season or during changing weather.
You are welcome to bring your own camera or phone for photos and video. Some older OTA material mentions photos taken during floating, but the current public page should not promise a paid photography service unless operations confirms the exact service for the season.
Drone flying from the ship or ice should not be promised as a normal guest activity. Treat drone use as restricted and by prior agreement only. Confirm the final public wording with operations before publishing this section. Yes, flying drones is allowed in our area, but only when the ship is stopped.
Tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:
Usted vuela bajo su propia responsabilidad; no nos hacemos responsables de ningún accidente ni pérdida.
En Suecia se requiere una licencia para volar drones.
¿Hace frío? ¿Necesito saber nadar?
No eres el único que lo pregunta: ¡lo escuchamos al menos 2,038 veces al día!
La buena noticia: llevas puesto un traje de supervivencia Por una buena razón. Fabricado con neopreno aislante, está diseñado para mantenerte abrigado y ayudarte a flotar. El traje tiene múltiples capas para bloquear el frío y atrapar el aire en su interior, lo que te proporciona mayor flotabilidad. No está diseñado para ser ajustado, así que no te preocupes si lo sientes un poco suelto.
No se requieren conocimientos de natación: ¡simplemente relájese y disfrute de la experiencia!
¿Pueden los niños participar en la natación?
Sí, siempre y cuando midan al menos 125 cm de altura. Si no estás seguro, acércate al vestuario y nuestros guías te ayudarán a comprobarlo.
La seguridad es lo primero, por lo que siempre analizamos la situación de cada niño de forma individual.
This is a real industrial icebreaker. Expect stairs, thresholds, outdoor decks, winter conditions, and movement around the ship. The ship is not wheelchair accessible.
If you have a heart condition, serious back problems, recent surgery, epilepsy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or if you are pregnant, check with your doctor before taking part in ice floating. You can always stay on board and watch.
The expedition runs in real Arctic conditions. Ice floating and ice walking depend on weather and ice, and the captain may change, pause, or cancel an activity for safety. If severe weather affects the departure itself, the team will contact guests using the details in the booking.
For public customers, the booking fee is EUR 30 per person and is non-refundable. More than 30 days before departure, the booking fee is retained. Within 30 days before departure, the service cost is forfeited.
If cancellation insurance applies and the cancellation is made at least 48 hours before departure, cancellation is free except for the insurance fee itself. Partner bookings may follow different terms. Always check the terms shown in your booking confirmation.
