Norway luxury holidays: FAQs
Why choose an exclusive aurora holiday 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.
When is the best time of year to book a Norway northern lights holiday?
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.
What can you see and do on a luxury Norway tour?
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.

What should I wear on a northern lights holiday in Norway?
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.

I found Aurora nights just through a google search. Alex, my Aurora expert was so helpful in helping us have the perfect trip to the Arctic. He had personal experience of the activities and places to visit there that would make our trip really special. This followed through to a particularly unforgettable and wonderful holiday. Everything was sent to us with care and attention before hand and we were supported by the team throughout our holiday. All of the recomendations were wonderful especially the Ice Hotel, dog sledding and of course the beautiful Northern Lights. The transportation arrived on time every time. I would highly recomend this company for their experience in the field and their due care and attention to you as a customer. It was faultless and we had the most awesome time.

I appreciate the fast response to my inquiries regarding my trip. It would take decision making faster on my part, and plan my itinerary and activities being offered by the company accordingly.
Joey Emmanuel Serrina
A fantastic short break which fulfilled all expectations. Well organised with a polished delivery, we could not have asked for more. The accommodation was perfect for us and the guides knowledgeable and helpful. Every day was packed with adventure, each lasting longer than scheduled but we were never rushed; the guides took pride in showing and explaining their beautiful country. We would certainly use Weekend a la carte again and recommend them to others.
Carol Mumford
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
Carol Wrack
This vacation has without without doubt, has been the best experience we have ever had. The organisation from the minute we landed in Kiruna until we departed at the close of our trip was second to none. The transition between hotels was always seamless and punctual. Everywhere we stayed was beautifully clean and the meals were top quality. Every driver was polite, entertaining and very knowledgeable, furnishing us with invaluable information about Sweden and the activities in which we were to participate. The snowmobiling was wonderful giving access via our guide, to stunning panoramic views of the mountain whilst viewing reindeer in their natural habitat.
Our guide demonstrated how to use the snowmobile safely he was pleasant and informative. When visiting the reindeer on the Sami reservation; we found the brother and sister team who hosted lovely. Again they were so hospitable and helpful and feeding the reindeer up close was a wonderful experience.
They provided additional activities for us to try and we were treated to a traditional Sami lunch in their hut. They provided us with invaluable information appertaining to their culture and caring for their reindeer. The reindeer were in superb condition and happy in their environment. Similarly, when out with the dog sleds the experience was magical. Two hours of beautiful scenery, and frozen lakes, finishing with a one-on-one experience massaging the dogs. Magic! We were so impressed with the care that was placed upon ensuring the dogs were comfortable, well-nourished and so loved by their owners/handlers.
Now to the photographic experience. A large group of us were treated to a demonstration of how to operate some serious camera equipment with tripod. Each of us was loaned the camera and given assistance setting up the camera on a frozen lake in preparation for the appearance of the Northern Lights. We were taken to this lake on large wooden sleighs pulled by a snowmobile. We cannot speak too highly of the two young men who accompanied us on this experience. They could not do enough for us. They were there to offer assistance with our cameras throughout the two-plus hours we were on this beautiful lake.
They advised where to position the camera and when the Lights appeared, what a performance. We had a two-hour display of this most breathtaking phenomenon. We were so fortunate to be able to experience this once-in-a-lifetime occurrence for which we are so grateful. We will never forget this memorable holiday and cannot thank you and everyone who assisted in making a lifetime dream come true. Karen & Andrew Adamson

An excellent holiday which was enjoyed by all. The super jeep ride on the second day to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano was memorable and thanks to our driver Margaret who proved to be a really good guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the facilities in the hotel Ranga. The staff were very helpful and we managed to see the Northern Lights. The Hotel Reykjavik Centrum was very nice with amazingly helpful staff. All in all, the whole holiday was brilliant.
Brian Coombs
Brilliant short break. Hotel Ranga was lovely, excellent food. Managed to see the Northern Lights as well! Iceland on the whole was quite expensive but a lovely place to visit, the people were very friendly.
Linda Palmer
Hotel Ranga was perfect, with amazing food. It is in the middle of nowhere, very quiet and with the weather being bad there wasn’t the possibility of leaving the hotel in the evening so mightn’t suit all for that reason. Super Jeep tour we thoroughly enjoyed with 2 lovely guides.
Hotel Borg was in the perfect location. For us, one night in Reykjavik would be ample.
Blue Lagoon was a wonderful experience only heightened by the appearance of the northern lights on our walk home from dinner. All in all we had the best holiday and we plan to return to Iceland hopefully sooner rather than later.
