Concerns have been raised about the participation of a UK science vessel in an Arctic tourist voyage.

But this summer the ice breaker has been chartered to accompany a luxury liner's voyage in the Arctic.

Critics say it is inappropriate for a vessel dedicated to science to support tourism in such a fragile area.
