We weathered the arctic storm in romantic style and comfort in a truly stunning setting. They managed our activities (whale watching, reindeer, Sami, etc.) to accommodate the change in plans. Seamlessly. Their staff (young, interesting, adventurous) drove us around, fed us and entertained us. And Mira and Tonny are real super star hosts. ROLSONO, TRIPADVISOR REVIEW

CONCLUSION: IGLOOS IN NORWAY

To conclude, while it is apparent transparent tent igloo structures are much more commonly found here, there are a range of different accommodation types that will give you the ultimate panoramic view experience.

One of the only official glass igloos in Norway is Lyngen North . While there are a multitude of transparent domes to choose from, our recommended stay is the stunning Sørfjorden Eye Iglo .

There are also plenty of canvas style domes to choose from, the best of which for us has to be the One bedroom bungalow at the Aurora Borealis Observatory .

Likewise, if you wanted the panoramic views of an igloo but with maximum comfort and space, there are a few epic glass cabins and lodges to choose. For us, hands down the most jaw-dropping was the Panoramic Glass Lodge at AERA, just outside of Tromsø.

Whichever option you end up choosing to suit your travel preference, location and budget – we have everything crossed for you that you get to witness Norway’s magical Aurora displays from these epic igloo style structures!

These cruises usually depart from Southampton, so all you have to worry about is getting there in time for check-in. The simplicity of this option means you don't have to deal with the stress of international airports, and can simply switch straight into holiday mode from the minute you board the ship. Often these cruises will explore less far-flung destinations - think Belgium, France or Guernsey. For cruises heading further afield, cruise-only options can mean more time spent at sea - but this won't be a problem if your ship has plenty to keep you entertained.

If a jam-packed itinerary is important to you, then a fly-cruise might be the best option. These deals include international return flights to the city your cruise will depart from - so instead of having to sail all the way to the Caribbean, for instance, you fly straight there to board the ship. If your dream cruise involves seeing as many sights as possible - with the ship merely acting as your base - then a fly-cruise might be your best bet.

Cruise and Stay

Can't decide if you should try a cruise, or park up on a sun-soaked beach somewhere? Why not both! Cruise-and-stays offer the best of both worlds, incorporating a period of cruising (often seven nights) with a few extra nights in a hotel tacked on before or after. This stay is a great way to ease into holiday mode after a stressful time at home, or embrace a change of pace following days spent at sea. Think a Mexican Riviera cruise followed by a glitzy Vegas stay, or a glamorous stint in Barcelona following a jaunt around the Canaries!

River Cruise

A great way to see European cities or parts of Asia, river cruises take you right to the heart of each destination. You could be soaking in a Budapest thermal bath, sipping wine in Lyon or visiting Vienna's dazzling opera house. With the vessels often much smaller in size than those which sail at sea, you'll experience a slightly more intimate atmosphere.

Iglu did not submit passport info to Cruise company. I was charged £75 to ammend information which had not been submitted. Another error was noted. We cruise next Friday and cannot yet check in because Iglu has not made correction. Igku only has 9- 5 Mon to Fri phone-line and I cannot get through to expedite resolution of this matter. Worried tgat we wo t be able to go on Cruise.

Reply from IgluCruise

Thank you for your review.  We are sorry to hear of your disappointment in your request to correct passenger details.   Passenger details, as per passport, are required during the booking call and are submitted as provided. Any corrections required once the booking has been confirmed are subject to the cruise line's terms and conditions and possible amendment charges.  In some cases, it may be more difficult to make corrections if not notified within 48 hours of the booking being made.  We are glad one change was able to be requested swiftly, though we are very sorry for any frustrations caused by the delay in confirming the second correction for you.  We hope the communication from our team has now been able to confirm all passenger details are correct and your holiday details ready for your departure.  We wish you a most pleasant and joyous cruise to come.

I booked a holiday over the phone with…

I booked a holiday over the phone with Lou today for next year as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. She was so knowledgeable and gave me some great tips and advice as she had been on the same cruise that we will be going on. She was so pleasant to speak to; speaking to her was like being on the phone with a friend. She made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Thanks so much for a great experience Lou :)

First Class Service

I use Iglu regularly for my cruise requirements and they've never let me down. This experience was no different. I booked the Japan Cruise 2025. Vinnay was amazing, providing me with a very competitive price. He took me through the booking very thoroughly, covering all requirements, as well as making me aware of important local customs and food advisories. He told me I'd get all my booking documents within a couple of days, which I have, and am now very much looking forward to another exciting cruise, knowing Iglu will be on hand to offer any support I need. Thank you Vinnay for your first class service, and thank you to the wider Iglu team who make sure all the paperwork is in order.

Friendly and prompt

I knew exactly what I wanted as I'd sailed with Marella before and Glen was happy to assist and took all details promptly and gave advice on places etc. Friendly and professional

Amazing service from Ian!

Great service from Ian as part of the IgluCruise team. Explained all the information in such a caring manner, was incredibly friendly and relatable, and went above and beyond - even calling me back to book after his working hours! Will definitely come back to IgluCruise for future bookings.

Holiday of a lifetime for us.

Having decided upon a cruise to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday I saw Iglu cruise pop up on my social media feed. I looked at several cruises advertised and researched other companies too but decided upon IgluCruise. I made the call and Paul the rep answered. He was brilliant,helpful, informative, considerate and polite. He answered all my questions. He recapped everything I had asked for to ensure I understood everything whilst going through the booking process over the phone. Everything was emailed over to me. Very straightforward. I would definitely use Iglu to book with again and would like to say, Thank you to Paul.

I’ve never been on a cruise before…

I’ve never been on a cruise before therefore I made two provisional bookings just to see how the prices would pan out. They were exactly as described with optional extras. On both occasions I was called by Kallum who was very patient, gave me lots of information and answered all my questions. There was no heavy sale or push. I was very impressed after speaking to my friend we went ahead and booked one of the cruises.

Date of experience : 30 April 2024

Responded quickly to my enquiry and discussed the various options open to me. Later finalised the booking with there help and now we have a wonderful cruise to look forward to.

Kallum has excellent sales technique

Kallum has excellent sales technique. Very helpful and informative. Listened to our needs. Hoping to have a fab cruise. First time with Iglle

Booking was made efficiently & all…

Booking was made efficiently & all questions answered & explanations given. Unfortunately it took a long time to complete the booking because the Norwegian cruise line computer system was down for some time. However Sue Thomas reassured us that the booking would be completed that evening and it was.

Great Deal and cheaper than booking direct with Marella .......

This was a great deal and cheaper than arranging with Marella Direct! This is the second time we have used Igloo Cruise, first time was for a tailor made cruise and stay with Celebrity, on both occasions we have been really pleased with the friendly, efficient, helpful service, and the good advice we have received. Thank you!
