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.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
