Day 2

Northern Lights and Overnight on Whale Watching Fjord Cruise

After breakfast you will have the day to explore the city and relax. In the evening, get ready for a real adventure with the opportunity to complete two big Arctic bucket list experiences in one trip! You will head out on an overnight expedition for a unique chance to see whales, bright and early, before anyone else gets there. And at night, look out for the magical Northern Lights dancing above you if conditions are right.

On your vessel you will be part of a small group sailing beyond the fjord for prime Northern Lights viewing. Going straight through the Auroral Oval Zone, far away from the city lights, this is one of the best places in the world to observe this unforgettable light show. Your night is spent in a comfortable Double/Twin cabin.

Spending the night out at sea gives you the opportunity to reach the whale location before anyone else. Get a unique chance to spend several hours with these magnificent creatures. You will get to study the true marine giants of the ocean up-close, while enjoying the luxury of the quiet ocean. The expert guides onboard will provide you with fascinating insights into the whales’ behaviour and biology, making it an educational and exhilarating experience.

Day 3

Back to Tromso

You will return back from your sailing trip in the early evening where you can then head straight back to your hotel and have a relaxing evening marvelling over whatever sights you might have seen over the past couple of days.

Day 4

Returning Home

After breakfast you will check out and then make your way to the airport. Your trip certainly doesn’t have to end here and there is plenty of opportunities to extend your stay in Tromso, explore further afield in northern Norway or spend some time in the country’s capital city, Oslo. Just speak to one of the team who will be able to assist you in tailor-making something to fit your requirements.

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!

My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.

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.
