Book your family’s place for an unforgettable February Half Term 2026 escape with Aurora Nights. This is the prime time to travel to the Nordics, offering the perfect blend of winter beauty, exhilarating activities, and the very best conditions for witnessing the spectacular Aurora Borealis. We specialise in crafting bespoke, magical family holidays to the Arctic Circle, ensuring every detail is taken care of for your most memorable mid term break yet. Avoid the stress of planning and entrust your winter adventure to the UK’s leading Northern Lights experts.

February sits at the absolute height of the winter season across the Nordics, making it an ideal time for a Northern Lights holiday. The weather is cold, ensuring abundant, crisp snow that transforms the landscape into a true winter wonderland. Crucially, the long, dark nights are prevalent. While the days are beginning to lengthen after the winter solstice, offering daytime hours for snow based excursions, the overnight period is still extensive. This maximises your window of opportunity for gazing skyward and witnessing the phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis.

Travelling during February Half Term ensures your children are not missing valuable time away from school, making it the most popular time for family holidays. To guarantee the best accommodation and prime activity slots for 2026, early booking is highly advised. Our tailored itineraries focus on unique, luxury lodges and high quality guided experiences that are perfectly suited for all ages. We realise that these are once in a lifetime winter adventure trips, and we take pride in delivering excellence from your initial enquiry to your safe return.
