7-Day Ice Hotel Adventure

OSLO/TROMSO/HONNINGSVAG/ALTA IGLOO HOTEL/OSLO

A special stay at the Alta Igloo Hotel is just one of the wonderful, unusual experiences you'll encounter on this Norway adventure. Start with a stay in the cosmopolitan Norwegian capital of Oslo-home to a stunning new harbor-side national opera house. Then it's onto a relaxing one night coastal voyage to Honningsvag. You'll stay an additional night in this quaint fishing village before making your way to the edge of the Arctic Circle and Norway's Alta Igloo Hotel. This unique "cool" sleepover on reindeer hides is capped off with a return visit to Oslo for further exploration.
