The reindeer stew was lovely and the inside of the cabin is not only charming, but toasty warm and a perfect place to spend a bit of a time getting warm between checking out the views. The hot tub was also great and there's a system so each couple/group get time to soak. We did see the lights but even if you don't being out on the water…”

“We loved it - made all the more special as we were the only couple. We did get a bit anxious when trying to find the yacht - instructions were perfect but there were lots of other trips at the same meeting point. The weather was v cold but sunny, it was a relaxing trip, not wind so calm water- an opportunity to fish, my husband failed to catch any!
