Luxury northern lights trips

You have the best chance of seeing the northern lights when you travel to the Arctic between September and early April.

In September and October, Arctic landscapes are ablaze with autumn colour. From December to late March, the region is transformed into a winter wonderland, ideal for snowy outdoor adventures.

While there are no guarantees, you have an excellent chance of seeing the aurora on a luxury northern lights trip.

You travel to the best northern lights locations in Europe — places out in the wilderness, with dark skies and very little light pollution.

You also have an expert aurora guide at your side. Your guide will take you on private aurora excursions, locating cloud-free skies, where the northern lights are shining at their bright and beautiful best.

On a northern lights luxury holiday, our prices include:

• Accommodation
• Transfers
• All activities
• Half-board or full-board dining

Arctic outerwear is also provided on our northern lights luxury breaks to Sweden and Finland (where temperatures are particularly cold in winter). In Norway and Iceland, where temperatures are a little warmer, Arctic outerwear is provided for chilly outdoor activities.
