Norway Northern Lights Vacation Packages
The northern lights season in Norway runs roughly from September to early April, and our winter tours cover the heart of it. The aurora depends on clear skies, so no tour can promise a sighting. Itineraries with several nights in the north give you more chances.
Where to Base a Northern Lights Tour in Norway
Tromsø
The most popular base for northern lights tours in Norway, with a city, a fjord setting and plenty of evening excursions. See Aurora Borealis Norwegian Explorer.
Lofoten
Fishing villages, mountains and quiet winter nights. Northern Lights in Lofoten is the shortest and lowest-priced way to see the Arctic.
Kirkenes
Far northeast near the Russian and Finnish borders, with a long winter season. Norwegian Winter Explorer runs from December 1 to April 20.

Norway Winter Holiday: Fjords, Trains and Cities
If the fjords matter more to you than the aurora, choose a Norway winter holiday built around Oslo, Flåm and Bergen. Norway in a Nutshell – Winter Discovery links the three by scenic train and fjord cruise in six days. Wonderful Winter Vision of the Fjords adds an English-speaking tour escort and local guides for up to 25 travelers.
For both fjords and the Arctic, Winter in Norway: Fjords, Coast and Arctic runs 12 days from Oslo and Flåm through Bergen and Trondheim to Tromsø, and Norwegian Arctic Adventure does the same in 7 days.
Guided Group Tours and Tailor-Made Trips
Escorted Small-Group Tours
Escorted departures handle transfers, hotels and logistics, which suits first-time visitors and solo travelers. Group size is capped at 25 on Wonderful Winter Vision of the Fjords and at 30 on Ultimate Arctic Adventure, which crosses Norway, Sweden and Finland through Tromsø, Alta, Levi, Haparanda and Rovaniemi.
