Holiday on Ice opens the new year in Rotterdam with HORIZONS

HORIZONS is a visual and musical spectacle in which the city's most beautiful places and stories come to life. In an impressive set, supported by dynamic video projections and a breathtaking lighting design, we follow various characters living together in a vibrant metropolis. The show opens Holiday on Ice 2026 in Ahoy from 2 to 4 January. Tickets are available via this link.

The cast includes more than 40 top international performers. Art riders, aerial acrobats and urban dancers perform a show full of energy, emotion and stunning choreography. Creative direction is in the hands of figure skating legend Robin Cousins and star choreographer Mark Naylor, who together ensure an immersive experience that stimulates all the senses.
