Huskies & Northern Lights

Experience the magic of the Arctic Circle on this unforgettable winter adventure through Norway and Sweden. Combining breathtaking snowy landscapes, Northern Lights excursions, Sámi culture, husky sledding and spectacular rail journeys, this escorted winter holiday offers a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Your Arctic adventure begins in Tromsø, often known as the “Polar Capital of Norway”, situated far above the Arctic Circle and surrounded by dramatic fjords, mountains and snow-covered scenery. During your stay, enjoy a guided tour of the city including visits to the striking Arctic Cathedral, famous for its modern architecture and stained-glass windows, and Polaria, where playful seals and fascinating Arctic exhibits bring the polar environment to life.

A highlight of the holiday is the unforgettable visit to a traditional Sámi village, where you will meet reindeer herders and learn about the indigenous Sámi culture and way of life. Gather inside a traditional lavvu tent and enjoy a wilderness dinner while listening to local stories beneath the Arctic sky.

Travelling through spectacular Arctic scenery, continue south-east to Narvik, surrounded by snow-covered mountains and deep fjords. Here, join a guided evening excursion into the Arctic wilderness in search of the incredible Aurora Borealis. Watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky is a truly unforgettable experience*.

One of the most scenic parts of the tour is the journey aboard the famous Ofoten Line, travelling across rugged mountain landscapes, frozen lakes and remote Arctic wilderness into Swedish Lapland and Kiruna.

In Kiruna, visit the world-famous Icehotel, a spectacular hotel crafted entirely from snow and ice, featuring beautifully carved suites, ice sculptures and frozen artwork recreated each winter.

Another unforgettable experience awaits with an exhilarating husky safari through pristine Arctic landscapes. Travel by traditional husky sled across snowy trails before warming up with a classic Swedish “fika” — coffee and sweet treats served in cosy surroundings.

Throughout the holiday, enjoy comfortable hotels, breathtaking scenery and the reassurance of travelling fully escorted by Karen, making this Arctic winter escape ideal for those seeking adventure, culture and extraordinary natural beauty.
