Norway Northern Lights Holidays

Overview

With its soaring mountains, sheer-sided fjords and endless dark skies, the north of Norway is a beautifully dramatic destination to go searching for the northern lights. It also has an enviable reputation for sightings.

Boasting both the northernmost city in the world and mainland Europe’s northernmost point, your aurora quest in Norway can be paired with geographic bragging rights.

Choose a short break at a fjord-side resort in Northern Norway, an independent road trip around Lofoten or cruise the famous Hurtigruten coastal route. At night huge vistas from the decks provide the canvas for often spectacular aurora displays dancing above a dramatic landscape of mountains and islands.

I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.
