Why This Trip Stands Out
This is a premium Northern Lights itinerary that adds Norway to the website’s Nordic options. It combines Helsinki and Finnish Lapland with the North Cape, Alta, Tromsø and Oslo, while keeping the group deliberately smaller than a typical large escorted tour.
- Helsinki and a flight north to Finnish Lapland.
- A glass-roof cabin stay at Aurora Village.
- The North Cape in winter.
- Husky and Sámi/reindeer experiences.
- Tromsø plus a finish in Oslo.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–2 | Helsinki & Ivalo
Begin in Helsinki before flying north to Ivalo for snowy Lapland scenery and a special glass-roof cabin stay.
Days 3–5 | North Cape & Alta
Travel across the Arctic north toward Honningsvåg and the North Cape, then continue to Alta for winter landscapes and northern experiences.
Days 6–8 | Tromsø
Continue to Tromsø for Arctic culture, Sámi traditions, reindeer experiences and more opportunities to see the Northern Lights.
Days 9–10 | Oslo
Fly south to Oslo and finish with time in Norway’s capital and around the Oslofjord.

Before You Choose It
A Few Things to Know
Winter weather and daylight vary by departure, and Northern Lights sightings can never be guaranteed. The itinerary moves through remote Arctic areas where weather can affect timing. This is a premium small-group trip rather than an expedition.
