“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Silversea Silver Cloud. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

The Arctic
Ponant Le Boreal
Le Boreal is an elegant French mega-yacht for the poles — up to 264 guests in 132 French-designed cabins, around 95 percent with private balconies. Open Bar all-inclusive covers fine wines, champagnes and spirits, and onboard are two restaurants, panoramic lounges with live music, an outdoor pool, a spa and a lecture theatre. An ice-strengthened hull and a Zodiac fleet open up Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland. Intimate, stylish and yacht-like, with a children's area that makes it notably family-friendly for an expedition ship.
The Arctic
Arctic Bath
Arctic Bath is an architectural floating spa hotel on the Lule River at Harads in Swedish Lapland — a timber circle around an open-air, ice-cold plunge pool fed by the river, ringed by saunas, that floats in summer and freezes into the ice in winter. Just 12 glass-fronted cabins surround it: six cosy water cabins on the river and six two-storey land cabins for families, all heated with wood-burning stoves. A Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World with one Michelin Key, it pairs the sauna-and-cold-dip ritual with Scandinavian set-menu dining and dog sledding under the northern lights. Design-led Arctic wellness.
The Arctic
Camp Ripan
Camp Ripan is a comfortable, family-run cabin resort on the edge of Kiruna with one of Lapland's best aurora-viewing records — around 90 modern Nordic cabins, each with a private entrance and big north-facing windows for the northern lights, from cosy couples' cabins to four-bed family cabins. The Aurora Spa draws on Sami wellness traditions, with indoor and outdoor heated pools you can watch the lights from, a White Guide-certified restaurant, and dog-sledding, snowmobiling and the ICEHOTEL on the doorstep. A comfortable, sustainable and great-value aurora base in Swedish Lapland.
