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!
