An epic new Svalbard expedition from Off the Map Travel takes travelers close to the North Pole and Northern Lights.
The new five-day/four-night A Polar Night adventure takes the intrepid close to the North Pole with a private tour and stay in comfort and isolation at the Juva Cabin in Svalbard, Norway. Launched by specialist travel company Off the Map Travel, the exclusive program brings adventurous travelers in search of the Northern Lights to a remote area with 24-hour darkness and a complete absence of light pollution, where chances to see the Aurora are strongest.
Only accessible in the snow during the winter months, Juva Cabin is the most remote comfort-oriented tourist accommodation in remote Svalbard. The secluded cabin is positioned strategically to deliver the best possible views of Svalbard’s wild, pristine scenery, and offers optimal viewing of the Aurora. Equipped with cushy beds, a fireplace, a Scandinavian-styled lounge room, kitchen, and a barrel-shaped standalone wood sauna, the Juva Cabin allows for comfort during the ultimate Arctic experience.
Designed by Off the Map Travel’s Aurora experts, A Polar Night takes travelers to a remote location marked by a dark, clear sky. Optimizing the possibility of witnessing the colorful Northern Lights, the program offers guests a comfortable experience, different from that of a traditional Arctic expedition. Beginning in Oslo, the program travels North to Svalbard, an archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole.
After a night in Oslo’s premier boutique hotel, Amerikalinjen, the Arctic portion begins with a night at Funken Lodge, a luxury accommodation located in Longyearbyen, a small coal-mining town on Spitsbergen Island overlooking the Lars- and Longyear glaciers. The evening kicks off the Northern Lights search with a panoramic ice-and-snow-filled tour on a snowcat.
From Funken Lodge, guests meet a dog sledge team that will take them to the Juva Cabin in Svalbard. Once there, guests can cozy up by the fire or head to the glass-fronted sauna, which offers panoramic views of the mountains.
Following breakfast, guests will mush their way back to the dog kennels before returning for a final night at Funken Lodge and dinner at the lodge’s international-cuisine Funktionaermessen Restaurant. The restaurant’s onsite Champagne cellar is a special attraction
