Cruising is a wonderful way to visit multiple destinations while only unpacking once. You’ll savor world class cuisines while enjoying local specialties. Cruise vacations allow you to do as much or as little as you would like and cater every type of traveler from families, to honeymooners to multigenerational families. Even if you don’t think you’re a ‘cruiser,’ you might be surprised by the options and products out there. For example, on an expedition trip you can see the polar bears in Antarctica or travel by river through the iconic cities in Europe.

Are you looking for an exclusive adventure, a solitary way to spend an unforgettable night in Iceland? Located on Fjallsarlon Glacier Lagoon, one of Iceland’s hidden gems, you will find the AuroraHut or so-called Igloo boat. For those who seek adventure, this nature retreat provides a unique secluded escape that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Each hut accommodates two persons in a double bed. This unique lodging is designed with comfort and style in mind. Glass walls and glass ceiling offer an exceptional view from inside the hut. The boats are fitted with a composting toilet, small kitchenette, electricity, and Wi-Fi. Please note that there are no shower facilities available on location. During summer you will appreciate the 24-hour daylight and throughout spring and autumn admire the pristine landscape as twilight falls. Please note that you will be taken to the Igloo boat by a zodiac boat (summer & shoulder season). The hut floats on the lagoon so you will not be able to go on land during your stay.

The Igloo boat is available from May – October and can be combined with either a self-drive tour or a private driver guided tour. There are only three boats so this is truly a unique experience. Contact us to book this incredible floating adventure and your whole Icelandic vacation.
