Exclusive aurora holidays in Norway

These Norwegian luxury holidays are tailor-made for you. Whatever the occasion, whoever you’re travelling with and whatever is on your holiday bucket list, we’re confident we can make it happen.

Private transfers and tours. Luxurious accommodation. Little extras like a birthday cake or a private dinner. Every day and every activity is designed around you and your requirements.

Want to get up close to orcas? Or go on a guided skiing expedition? Or take a romantic cruise around a Norwegian fjord? It’s all possible on a Norway northern lights tour.

You have the best chance of seeing the aurora borealis if you travel to Norway between September and March. During autumn and winter, the nights are long and dark, which makes it much easier to see the northern lights.

To enjoy snow-based activities, like husky mushing and snowmobiling, book a winter break. You can even choose to celebrate Christmas or New Year here.

Unsure when to book your luxury Norway holiday? Just get in touch with the Aurora Nights team. We’ll be happy to advise you on the weather and activities you can expect during each month of the year.

We can personalise a luxury Norway tour to include the sights and activities you want to experience. Here’s a little inspiration:

• Embark on an Arctic boat safari to see sea eagles, seals, humpback whales and orcas.
• Visit the jewel of the Norwegian coast, the majestic Lofoten Islands, with their craggy peaks and colourful wooden fishing villages.
• Take an aurora dinner cruise around Tromsø fjord, sampling Arctic tapas and gazing at the star-filled sky.
• Immerse yourself in snowy landscapes on guided snowshoe, hiking and skiing excursions. Or fly north to the remote island of Svalbard — a land of dramatic mountains, glaciers and icebergs.
• Wander the city of Tromsø. Visit the Polar Museum, the Arctic Cathedral and Mack Brewery. And take the cable car up Storsteinen Mountain for panoramic city views.
• Chase the northern lights each night. Travel with your expert guide to beautiful northern lights locations, gather by the fire and wait for the dancing aurora to appear.
• Explore Norwegian landscapes like a local, mushing a team of huskies or driving your own snowmobile.
• Warm up after a day of winter activities back at your hotel. Take a dip in the hot tub or spend some time in the sauna before savouring a luxurious evening meal.

Cosy wooden cabins on the waterfront. Boutique hotels in the hustle of the city. A luxurious lodge with spectacular views of snow-capped mountains.

Our hand-picked luxury hotels are all vetted by our team so you can be confident of an exceptional stay. And whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family or a large group, we have a range of unique accommodation options for you to choose from.

Absolutely. The holidays listed above are a jumping-off point. We can tailor these tours to include the destinations, activities and accommodation you want to experience.

During winter, northern Norway is very cold. There aren’t many hours of daylight and temperatures rarely rise above freezing. So people dress for comfort and warmth.

We recommend bringing thermal base layers, a middle layer and a warm jumper. A warm, winter coat, walking boots and waterproofs are essential. You should also pack a hat, gloves and warm socks.
