To see the Northern Lights, you need to stay warm, or you might freeze like an ice pop? Polar Safari from Norway has launched a unique SPA Boat. For you, getting a spa on a boat might already not be anything new, but this boat is a renovated old fishing vessel from the 1950s, redesigned by the renowned Dutch design team Rintala Eggertsson Architects. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies extremely modern and luxurious spa equipment. Not only can you practice yoga, enjoy a Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room inside the cabin, but if you want to admire the Arctic scenery along the way, Polar Safari can specially move a tub filled with warm seawater salt to the deck for you—whether day or night, you can soak and travel at the same time. Most uniquely, you can also enjoy a spa while watching the Northern Lights on this boat. Compared to waiting out in the snowy cold, the Northern Lights experience on the SPA Boat is definitely the warmest and most comfortable one.

After the spa, don’t rush off the boat—the Zen Lounge restaurant onboard serves authentic Nordic cuisine, using traditional cooking techniques to prepare freshly caught fish, which is loved by many. Whether it’s the spa or the food, those interested in this boat should keep a close eye on its schedule, as the SPA Boat only accepts bookings for 12 people per trip—a rare opportunity.
