The season to be jolly is very nearly upon us, so it’s time to start jam-packing our diaries with festive fun and frolics. And where better for our seasonal socialising to take place than inside a cosy igloo? Each and every year, a plethora of igloos pop-up across the city, meaning that we’re pretty spoilt for choice. We’ve got rooftop igloos, riverside igloos, and some really rather ravishing igloos. But if it’s a unique winter experience that you’re after, allow us to point you in the direction of London’s only floating igloos.

That’s right, folks: London’s dreamy drifting domes have returned to the capital’s waters, and Londoners can, once again, embark on an aquatic adventure on board a cosy floating igloo this winter.

The igloos in question come courtesy of Skuna Boats. You may recognise the name, as they’re also the brains behind London’s BBQ boats and floating hot tubs. The igloo boats float along the waters of West India Quay near Canary Wharf, and make for a rather magical dining experience in the heart of London.

The enchanting experience includes a 30 minute igloo-boat trip, where guests can sip their drinks and admire the stunning scenery. The igloo will then be docked for 90 minutes, and this is when guests can tuck in to some delicious fondue. Passengers can choose between cheese fondue, chocolate fondue, or, if they really want to push the boat igloo out, they can opt for both.

The igloo boats are available to book now until well into spring of 2026, so there’s ample opportunity to sip, snack, sail, and soak in the city’s skyline inside one of Skuna’s dreaming drifting igloos.

The Skuna igloo boats are available to book now for various timeslots throughout the winter. Each igloo fits between four and nine people on board, and all ages are welcome. Prices start from £49 per person, and children un five go free. Find out more and book your floating igloo here.
