SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

The Ice Hotel, Swedish Lapland

The must-see Aurora Borealis. A mind-boggling ice sculpture you can actually stay in. One of Europe’s hottest bars
The Ice Hotel, Swedish Lapland

A mind-boggling ice sculpture

Cosmic particles from outer space, drawn to the pole by the planet’s magnetism? Great curtains of multi-coloured lights, dancing like spectres in the night sky? If you pride yourself on being something of a traveller and a connoisseur of destinations, you simply have to experience the Northern Lights.

Similarly, you have to stay – at least once – in the Ice Hotel. Forget igloos, this is a fantastical sculpture, carved from ice into a winter palace like no other. Expect crystalline chandeliers and ornate carved doorways leading to bedrooms with ice sculptures and ice murals on the walls. This is an art project on a grand scale and – at -5ºC – as ephemeral as temperature itself. And it includes a very chilled bar serving cool cocktails, wine and cold beer. Now that’s hot!

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
