My husband and I stayed here for 1 night as part of our honeymoon. The ice hotel itself was incredible, the sculptures are fantastic and the chapel was beautiful. The warm part of the hotel is also really lovely, we sat in the lounge and had a game of Ludo in front of the fire (!!) and then went through... More

We stayed overnight at the Igloo hotel for my daughter's 30th, in February. We went snowmobiling on arrival, which was thrilling, speeding (in my case not as fast as others) through forest trails and across the frozen fjord, in the dark. The evening meal at the hotel thereafter was delicious and out of the ordinary. The staff, in reception, taking... More

We sailed from Tilbury on 2nd March 2012. No problems with embarkation process. We arrived on board and were greeted by very friendly staff, and taken to our cabin. Initially very disappointed, cabin 252. Very small and We didn't feel it was suitable for a couple at all, perhaps 2 young people or 2 friends. Beds were set in an... More

There is nothing I can say really to add to the other reviews except to say thank you so much to the wonderful wonderful people at Sorrisniva (And pastor Jan Hannsen) who helped make our wedding so special. The food was incredible, the place just magical - I only wish I wasn't so tired by the end of the day... More

The Igloo Hotel is by far the most extraordinary place that I have ever stayed at. The accommodation section is constructed from white ice supported by clear river ice pillars. The ice sculptures are works of art. The chapel is a true wonder. It takes staff about 5 weeks to build the hotel out of a combination of white and... More

I'm not sure what I can add to other reviews... this was an amazing experience. The food was great too - we had a royal crab soup that I still dream of - amazing. The staff was amazing too - very friendly and knowledgeable. As we can early in the season, we had a chance to see the artists still... More

Our Wedding in the Sorrisniva ice igloo was the most magical experience. It almost seemed like we were in a dream for the 5 days we were there, truly a different world. True its cold but take the right equipment and you will be fine. On our first day we met up with Jorn Losvar our photographer. I have to... More
