Leaving the city lights behind is key to getting the best out of the Northern Lights’ magnificent show.

The tour includes:
- Fjord cruise on board a quiet, stable and environmentally friendly catamaran
- Knowledgeable guide who speaks English
- Free coffee or tea
- Warm and spacious cabin with comfortable leather seats
- Free WiFi
Tromsø – one of the world’s best places to see the Northern Lights
Tromsø is perfect for chasing this fascinating natural phenomenon. In part, that is because the Arctic city is in the middle of the Aurora Borealis oval that surrounds the Earth. It is also slightly warmer than other Arctic cities. The months of October through March are the best times for spotting the lights in Norway. Tromsø’s ideal location increases the odds of a Northern Lights display even during periods of low Aurora Borealis activity.
