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.

We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
David Foley
We had the most fabulous time and everything worked like clockwork. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and extremely competent. The food was excellent and the experiences, especially Husky Homes, were brilliant. We saw the aurora lights at the mountain top in Abisko where the photography tour will be an enduring memory of a wonderful time. I would very much recommend Weekend a la Carte as a proficient tour operator.
Mark Nicholson
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
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The Abisko Mountain Lodge was fantastic, every member of staff was friendly welcoming and charming. Accommodation, upgraded room was excellent. The food in the lodge definitely deserves the high reviews. Good breakfast, great hime made lunch soups and extremely tasty evening dinners.
The included trips were great. The only let down was the camera night, couldn’t see the lights no one fault, but we were walked through thigh high snow to be left on a frozen lake for the duration of the trip. There was no warning of the difficult walk and we had a 91 year old with us and I have hip problems! That said the guide was great, as were the ones on the skimobile and husky rides. We went up to the sky station in a snow storm with high winds, added to the experience!
Would go back in a heart beat.
We had little communication with Weekend a la carte, no need as all communications were clear and contained all the information we needed. Very informative emails
Would use again if going back
June Day
A well organised trip which was tailored to our specific requests. The arrangements all ran perfectly and any queries prior to the holiday were handled very quickly and professionally. The standard of accommodation and organised tours was very high. I would use this company again and recommend them.

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.
Lisa McAleer
We had a fantastic 4 nights that included glaciers, waterfalls, geysers, the aurora borealis and more! Lovely hotels, especially Hotel Ranga. We filled every moment and felt thoroughly invigorated on our return.
Frances Harrington
My daughter and I had an amazing time on our trip, we didn’t want it to end! Everything went according to plan, each excursion was well organized and everyone involved with each activity, as well as everyone at the lodge was kind, friendly, positive and happy, which makes such a difference to your whole experience. The food at The Abisko Mountain Lodge was also incredibly good. Our room was large, comfortable and well-furnished. The bathroom too was also spacious and well-equipped. The outdoor clothing provided was of very good quality which kept us warm, and the staff members are happy to change items if they are not quite the right size for you. This is my second trip with Weekend a la carte and I’m sure there will be more as I have complete trust in them. I highly recommend Aurora Nights, it was fabulous.
