Solar maximum sees the arrival of a new glass lodge to Norway complete with bespoke king sized Aurora bed .
A new travel experience has launched for the first time in Norway , allowing guests to sleep under the Northern Lights in absolute indulgence at a new luxury glass lodge .
The launch coincides with the height of the solar maximum , the time in the sun ’ s 11 year cycle where it is most active causing the brightest and most frequent displays of the Aurora Borealis .
Designed for couples wanting to combine luxury with an immersive arctic experience , the two new Aeranord glass lodges sit in a remote area north of Tromso , over 200 miles above the Arctic
Circle and perfectly positioned for uninterrupted views of the arctic night sky .
“ This is a new experience that delivers adventure , but doesn ’ t compromise on comfort and quality ,” says Jonny Cooper , founder of Off the Map Travel which is exclusively arranging trips to the new glass lodges .
“ The generous custom-made kingsized Aurora bed is wrapped in glass on the walls and roof , allowing you to lie back and hunt for the northern lights .
“ Added to this a luxury bathroom complete with rain shower , kitchenette and dining area , all benefiting from similar uninterrupted views out into the arctic wilderness , and you ’ re sure to not miss a moment of the Northern lights as they shine overhead .”
“ Experiencing new travel experiences in luxury shouldn ’ t be at the cost of the environment ,” adds Jonny Cooper from Off the Map Travel .
“ We have therefore combined the new lodge with private tours and transfers by Tesla , and other exciting environmentally conscious activities to create a complete experience .”
The new six-day , five-night Luxury in Tromso itinerary costs from £ 4999 per person , on a mixed board basis , based on four adults travelling , not including flights .
This includes privately guided tours in a luxury Tesla , two nights in luxury panoramic accommodation , three nights private , luxury apartment accommodation in Tromso with a private breakfast chef , private northern lights tour with dinner reservation , private Tromso island tour , snowshoe experience , husky sledding adventure and King Crab dinner .
