Sleep in a Portable Finnish Bubble Sled

If your travel bucket list includes the Aurora Borealis, a new adventure from UK-based Off the Map Travel invites you to unpack and get cozy in a glass-roofed Aurora Bubble Sled. Drawn by a snowmobile into the remote, snow-covered Finnish landscape, the mobile hotel room is warm and comfortable, and allows for an immersive encounter with the magical, rippling lights. It’s all part the Lapland Aurora itinerary, and includes a session with a Northern Lights expert.

The Bubble Sled is furnished with beanbags, reindeer skins, a sleeping kit and a thermostat-controlled heating system. While the Lapland Aurora itinerary is customizable, activity suggestions include a snowmobile excursion to the land point where Norway, Sweden and Finland meet; winter fishing for Arctic char, trout and whitefish; a traditional Lappish meal cooked over an open fire in a Kota stove; and a snowmobile ride and picnic at Halti Fell.

Combine your bubble adventure with added days in Tromsø, Norway, with the four-day Tromso Experience. Accommodations are in a waterfront hotel, and the extra days include world-class dining and a Northern Lights dinner cruise. Prices for the four-day, three-night adventure begin at £1099 (approximately $1,369) per person, based on double occupancy. All meals, private transfers from Tromsø and the use of the outdoor hot tub and sauna are included; airfare is not included. Add on the Tromsø Experience beginning at £875 (approximately $1,090) per person, also based on double occupancy.

Hotel Nice Beau Rivage Review

In the city Henri Matisse once called home — and where Musée Matisse holds his largest collection — Hotel Beau Rivage has a special connection with the artist, who first visited the hotel in 1916 and painted famous sea views from his room 89 in 1917. Today, framed Matisse prints — many brightly colored cut-out collages from the artist’s JAZZ collection — decorate its walls. Hotel guests also benefit from a partnership with the museum.
