Northern Lights Breaks

Tromso, in north Norway is the ultimate choice for a winter city break. It offers excellent chances of seeing the Northern Lights, a wide range of winter activities such as husky and snowmobile safaris, snow-shoe trekking or cross-country ski-ing, superb restaurants and some fascinating museums. Tromso can also be combined with the beautiful Lofoten Islands, or with a scenic rail journey to Sweden's Ice Hotel. You could even follow a similar itinerary to that of Joanna Lumley on the excellent BBC TV programme where she realised a lifetime's ambition and found the Northern Lights - in Tromso!

Ice Hotel

The world's largest igloo, Sweden's Ice Hotel offers the ultimate winter break. Our packages all include a night in the Ice Hotel, a night or two in a warm hotel room or cosy cabin within the complex, and an evening Snowmobile Safari "In Search of Northern Lights". Additional activities including husky safaris, reindeer driving, snowshoe trekking and moose safaris can be added as required. Holidays can start with a night in Stockholm, or a night in Narvik in north Norway, then travelling into Sweden on the scenic Ofoten Railway. Special discounts are available when Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday nights are spent in the Ice Hotel, subject to availability.

Fjord Explorer

A leisurely independent tour allowing you
to experience all the classic fjords without
the need to drive. Moving around between
centres by train, bus or boat, you can just
sit back and enjoy the scenery. Each
centre offers a variety of excursion
possibilities, and many lovely walks.
Top quality fjord hotels are featured, and
extra nights can be added wherever you
wish.
This itinerary is just one of many options.
You may, for instance, prefer to start with a
couple of days in Oslo, then take the train to
Voss, or start in Stavanger and take the
catamaran to Bergen. Equally, you might
choose to return from Alesund to Bergen on
the Coastal Voyage and have a last night or
two in Bergen. If you would prefer to stay at
Ulvik on the Hardangerfjord instead of at
Voss, this is also possible. Shorter tours can
be arranged if required.
