# Looking For Cool? How About this Night on a Glacier Package! *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated January 2019* This summer, the experts at adventure travel company Off the Map Travel invite you to spend a night on a glacier, in a prime viewing area for Norway’s polar bears. On the island of Svalbard, high up in the Arctic Circle, guests will stay at the exclusive Nordenskiold Lodge located at the foot of the blue glacier. If you are looking for the ultimate mancation package this is a very cool option. There, with almost no sounds to distract, guests will hear the ice creaking and cracking as the glacier moves along its slow journey. Guests will also have the chance to observe the island’s variety of wildlife including its most famous residents, the polar bear. Bookable now, the new “[Night on a Glacier](https://www.offthemap.travel/destinations/norway/svalbard/longyearbyen/)” program is offered from May - September 2019). Each itinerary is customized to meet the interests and needs of the participants.  “This is a spectacular opportunity for adventure lovers,” commented Jonny Cooper, adventure travel expert and founder of Off the Map Travel. “Svalbard is one of the world’s best spots for seeing wildlife, with May to September the optimal months as the snow has melted. And at the expedition lodge, you’ll enjoy all manner of amenities and comforts with the chance to see polar bears.” Guys Trip Destinations and Getaway Ideas BLOG [What Do Gen Z Travelers Think About Cruising And Where Do They Want To Go Next?](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Finsights%2Fwhat-do-gen-z-travelers-think-about-cruising-and-where-do-they-want-to-go-next.html&id=654&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Finsights%2Fwhat-do-gen-z-travelers-think-about-cruising-and-where-do-they-want-to-go-next.html&id=654&type=blog&site=mantripping) BLOG [How I Use AI to Transform Social Media Comments Into Blog Posts That Drive Traffic](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Farticles%2Fturn-social-media-comments-into-blog-posts-with-ai.html&id=649&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fflowmediamarketing.com%2Farticles%2Fturn-social-media-comments-into-blog-posts-with-ai.html&id=649&type=blog&site=mantripping) MENWHOBLOG [I Tried Cellular At Sea Cruise+ On Norwegian Getaway](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmenwhoblog.com%2Fblog%2Ftesting-out-cellular-at-sea-on-our-recent-canadian-cruise.html&id=377&type=blog&site=mantripping) [Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmenwhoblog.com%2Fblog%2Ftesting-out-cellular-at-sea-on-our-recent-canadian-cruise.html&id=377&type=blog&site=mantripping) CRUISEWESTCOAST [Should You Buy Cruise Ship Wi-Fi?
