The activity was brilliant and I would definitely recommend everyone to experience ice breaker cruise once in life time but for the money charged I would expect better food, travel and over all experience. Even the swimming photos were charged 20euros per person separately. I would suggest to increase the pricing a bit if required but don’t temper anywhere on with providing an fantastic experience

Fajna atrakcja ale... sam rejs jest bardzo krótki, w bardzo bliskiej odległości od brzegu. Lodołamacz płynie już po skruszonym lodzie więc nie ma efektu wow - a przynajmniej nie dla tych, co widzieli już trochę śniegu i lodu w życiu. Dla mnie ważne był sam fakt, że kąpiel jest w zatoce botnickiej, ale jak komuś nie zależy to są już miejsca gdzie w takich samych skafandrach można wykapać się w jeziorach, nie spędzając 4 godzin na jazdę.

Transport verlief gut; Die Mitarbeitenden vor Ort waren hilfsbereit und freundlich; einmaliges und tolles Erlebnis; zeitlicher Faktor allerdings recht knapp bemessen (Audio Guide, Kino, essen, schwimmen, an Deck die Fahrt beobachten); Preislich jedoch viel zu hoch angesetzt (gefertigte Fotos der schwimm Aktivität zusätzlich 20euro pro Person);
