Icebreaker Garinko II / Garinko III "IMERU"
A spectacular cruise through the ice floes
The "Garinko" icebreaker is characterized by its bright red body and two huge drills. The cruise through the drift ice that covers the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk is a winter-only treat. The ship moving boldly through the ice as it crunches through the ice floes is a powerful sight to behold. The cabin is heated for your comfort, and the observation deck on the second floor allows you to fully enjoy the view of the ice floes while feeling the Okhotsk breezes. You may even encounter eagles, a natural treasure, and wild seals. Sunrise and sunset cruises offer a fantastic view of the sun and drift ice.
