The Ultimate Guide to Luxury Arctic Cruises

The Arctic isn’t a last-minute destination that you can book in a hurry. Planning is absolutely vital. People fly halfway around the world just to see the vast expanse of frosted white stretching in every direction. During the summer months, a phenomenon known as "midnight sun" occurs where the sun never sets below the horizon. In winter, meanwhile, darker skies take hold, providing the ultimate backdrop for the fabled northern lights.

An Icon Reimagined: Experiencing the Timeless Magic of...

Stepping through its grand lobby is like entering another era, where globetrotters, dignitaries, and cultural icons once mingled in timeless glamour. During our two-night stay, we were welcomed into a beautifully restored Palm Court Suite overlooking a lush courtyard. The space struck a perfect balance between colonial charm and contemporary comfort, with airy white-washed walls framed by intricate detailing, polished hardwood floors, and refined modern furnishings. A spacious parlour, four-poster bed, walk-in wardrobe, and marble-clad bathroom made the suite both indulgent and inviting. The thoughtful touch of locally made Omno toiletries was a delightful nod to sustainable Singaporean craftsmanship, something not often seen in hotels of this calibre.
