Northern Lights Holidays

The enigmatic Aurora Borealis have been shrouded in mystery for many years and, understandably, their magnificence has brought about numerous myths and legends. More informally known as the Northern Lights, the Aurora are most often witnessed dancing across the darkened skies of Arctic regions. The presence of the dazzling Northern Lights phenomena has an enchanting effect on their audience as they radiate an eerie glow across the wintry landscape. We have a great selection of tours which take you to stunning locations where you will have the best possible chances of witnessing the Aurora.

On our Northern Lights holidays you can also incorporate exciting activities into your itinerary. There are optional activities as well as pre-planned excursions so you can take advantage of leisure time and choose how to spend Northern Lights holidays. Scandinavia is beautiful all year round but it is particularly picturesque during the winter months when the landscapes are coated in a thick blanket of pristine snow and impressive snow sculptures adorn the trees’ branches. Combine Northern Lights holidays with thrilling pursuits such as snowmobiling, husky safaris and reindeer sled rides and experience the unspoilt countryside in style.

Types of Northern Lights Holidays

We understand that not everyone has the same interests so we ensure that our Northern Lights holidays cater to all individuals. If you are looking for a more relaxing break why not book a cruise along Norway’s rugged coastline? Dramatic mountains tumble into the Arctic waters and island excursions reveal magical histories about this intriguing country. As you sail between enchanting cities, the open skies present a dark canvas for the Northern Lights to shine upon. The ship’s Panorama Lounge offers fabulous views for passengers waiting in anticipation or if you are sleeping when the Aurora appear, you can request that the staff wake you so that you don’t miss the incredible light show.

For more unusual Northern Lights holidays, visit the celebrated Lapland Igloo Village which is set among Finland’s wilderness. Choose to stay in a snow igloo and sleep on a bed made from ice or if you prefer something a little warmer, relax in the comfort of a glass igloo and await the arrival of a fantastic Northern Lights display from the comfort of your bed. Iceland is also a delightful winter wonderland where travellers can hope to see the Aurora.

Whichever Northern Lights holidays you decide upon, you will be enthralled by Scandinavia’s exceptional scenery, diverse cultures and exhilarating activities.
