Northern Lights Cruise - Norway

We want to take you to the best places in search of the Northern Lights. Lapland, Northern Norway and Tromso are widely regarded as some of the best places on earth to witness the awe inspiring natural phenomenon.

On this holiday through the northern part of the spectacular Norwegian Fjords, several hundred kilometers inside the Arctic Circle, there are exciting activities, unbelievable scenery and some of the best possibilities to see the Northern Lights. Snowmobiles, huskies and the top of continental Europe (The North Cape) all feature on this short cruise.

Please remember as Scandinavian Travel Specialists we tailor make many of our holidays - please ask!

Day 1 - Tromso

Hotel Bryggen - Tromso

Hotel Bryggen is practically next to the airport bus in the centre of Tromso and is situated on the quay side in Tromso harbour. Relax in the rooftop jacuzzi with views across the harbour to the spectacular Arctic Cathedral. Hotel Bryggen has recently been refurbished and is one of Northern Norways leading hotels. Tromso is also the gateway to Northern Norway and the launch pad for many of our Norway northern lights holidays.

Fly from the UK to Tromso (the capital of Northern Norway) and stay in the centrally located Hotel Bryggen. The centre of Tromso is a short transfer from the airport, and your hotel is just 50m from the departure point of your Hurtigruten cruise.
