For many, the desire to switch up the usual trip to the Mediterranean and head to the magical winter wonderland of the Arctic holidays is becoming a preferred destination.
At Arctic Direct, we offer holiday packages to explore what the Arctic region has to offer. One of the most popular reasons people want to have an arctic holiday is in the hope of catching sight of the Northern Lights. And what better way to experience the Aurora Borealis dancing through the sky than from your own bed! Staying in a Glass Igloo is the ultimate accommodation when staying the Arctic whilst hunting for the Northern Lights.
Chase the Northern Lights during your Arctic holiday
If you have ever witnessed the Aurora Borealis it’s easy to see why it is one of the worlds natural phenomena. That’s why, we would always recommend booking a Glass Igloo holiday. This structure offers luxury accommodation but with the added advantage of sleeping under the Northern Lights. The very best and unique travel experience.
Your stay in a glass igloo also comes with all the benefits of a holiday to the Arctic. Think, aurora hunting by snowmobile, husky safaris and trips to a reindeer farm as a starter!
Although many people who visit the Arctic do get lucky with seeing the Northern Lights, they can be very unpredictable. If you visit whilst it is cloudy, your chances of seeing the Aurora are very slim. However, this doesn’t make your stay in a glass igloo a wasted experience. You can still experience a magical night sleeping under the snowy landscapes and a magical atmosphere!
Types of Glass Igloos for Arctic holiday
The original glass igloos are a special design of thermal glass built so you can view the Northern Lights. At Arctic Direct, we always recommend staying just the one night in the Glass Igloos at the end of your trip as this type of accommodation does not offer much space.
You can also stay in a Kelo Cabin with a Glass Igloo bedroom. These are available If you prefer a more spacious room plus you can have your very own log fire and sauna! There is a Glass Igloo attached so you don’t have to worry about missing out on viewing the Northern Lights.
The best time for Arctic holidays in a Glass Igloo
One of the most popular attractions in the Arctic are the Northern Lights. As the Glass Igloos have been designed specifically to maximise your chances of viewing the Auroras, we advise you visit during the month of late September – end of March. This is where the Arctic experiences clear, dark nights, so better conditions for the Northern Lights to appear.
If staying in a glass igloo is something you would like to try, why not visit our luxury glass igloo holiday packages.
