During the journey, guests witness ice renderings of Italian piazzas, bridges over canals, singing gondoliers; celebrate the holidays with all-ice versions of the much-loved characters from “Shrek,” “ Madagascar,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” and “Kung Fu Panda;” and finally take a photograph with the Penguins of Madagascar to celebrate a successful undercover holiday operation.
