    Can another night in a glas igloo be added 11th Dec 2025 and what would it cost

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten May 2025

      The hotel overnights are 3 and 1 in Igloo so I assume you are talking about a 2nd night in the Glass Igloo at 10th December and check out at 11th. Let me know if you want 1 more night in Igloo (total nights 3).

    What is the arctic ice floating? Duration? Where does it go? What do you see?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten March 2025

      Ice floating takes 3 hours. This guided adventure is safe with a high-quality rescue suit that covers your whole body and keeps you dry. As you have your own clothing under the suit you will not get cold even in the open 0-degree water. Lying down in the frozen lake between the ice blocks is something worth trying, the circumstances truly are arctic!

    Mark

    Asked on January 3rd, 2025

    I am interested in both "Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo" and "Tales of Lapland and Glass Igloo". Those look similar. Can you compare the tour?

    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten January 2025

      There are some differences between the 2 tours: Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo is an escorted tour with an experience Tour Leader, while Tales of Lapland and Glass Igloo is not escorted. Tales of Lapland includes 2 nights at Igloos and the airport transfers are included in the price. Both tours have different activities included.

    Daniela

    Asked on December 1st, 2024

    Can 3 adults stay in a triple room? Also, is there any flexibility on tour dates? Or only as listed on brochure. Also, do you offer option to join icebreaker tour?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten December 2024

      The guaranteed departures are fixed dates and it is not possible to change the dates. 3 adults can stay in a room if the hotel has rooms that can fit them, but it depends on availability. We can include the Polar Explorer from Rovaniemi and it will take the whole day to go and return. if you prefer to plan a day tour it would be possible for us to book you at Polar Explorer (415 Euros per person) and include the transfers from Rovaniemi (210 Euros one way per person).
