Getting a spa treatment on an old fishing boat lets you enjoy the aurora warmly

By TRAVELER Luxe Traveler

 

Staying warm is essential when viewing the aurora, or you might freeze like an ice pop? Polar Safari from Norway has launched a unique SPA Boat. For some of you, getting a spa on a boat might not be new, but this vessel is a repurposed old fishing boat from the 1950s. Designed and renovated by the renowned Dutch design team Rintala Eggertsson Architects, its unassuming exterior hides extremely modern and luxurious spa facilities inside. Not only can you practice yoga, enjoy a Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room in the cabin, but if you’d like to admire the Arctic scenery along the way, Polar Safari can even bring a tub filled with warm sea-salt water out onto the deck for you—so you can soak and travel day or night. Most uniquely, you can enjoy the aurora while having a spa on this boat. Compared to waiting out in the snowy cold, the aurora experience on the SPA Boat is definitely the warmest and most comfortable one.

After the spa session, don’t rush off the boat just yet—the ship’s restaurant, Zen Lounge, serves authentic Nordic cuisine made with traditional cooking techniques and freshly caught local fish, which is loved by many. Whether it's the spa or the food, anyone interested in this boat should keep a close eye on its schedule, as the SPA Boat only accepts 12 reservations per voyage—so it’s a rare opportunity.
