It seemed like 2023 was the year it became cool to be really, really cool – freezing to be precise. The popularity of the ice bath escaped beyond athletes’ recovery rooms and everyone from the likes of Lizzo, Harry Styles, Hailey Bieber and Joe Rogan appeared to be singing the praises of the cold plunge.
While this latest biohacking trend has been around since the Romans – the benefits of which are claimed to include improved circulation, reduced inflammation and boosted metabolism – TCS World Travel is jetting the therapy into the 21st century with a unique jet expedition that is based entirely around taking the plunge.
The Nordic Adventure swaps the Balearics for the Baltic, the Dalmatian coast for the Labrador Sea, with a 20-day itinerary that takes guests directly to the coldest waters across Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
