Northern Lights Voyage
Tromsø - Kirkenes - Tromsø
5 days/4 nights half board
SPECIAL LOW PRICES flying direct to Tromsø from Stansted
This fascinating Arctic adventure travels to remote regions along the dramatic coastline and the most northerly part of Norway. The entire duration of this tour is spent above the Arctic Circle, increasing your chance of seeing the Northern Lights
Your journey begins in Tromsø, with a leisurely voyage north. Observe the sky as you travel towards Honningsvåg. From here, you can join an excursion to mainland Europe's most northerly point, the North Cape. We then head to the sheltered harbour of Kirkenes, a mere 10km from the Russian border. Here you may visit the border with Russia, try your hand at snowmobiling, or enjoy a taste of Sami life.
As the return journey from Kirkenes hugs the coastline, you revisit remote settlements which rely on Hurtigruten ships to maintain contact with the rest of Norway.
