Journey to Europe’s remote, wild North on a small group tour designed to showcase the very best of winter in Scandinavia. This region is renowned for one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena: the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.

Experiencing the Northern Lights is on most people’s bucket list. However, this tour isn’t just about chasing the aurora; it’s about discovering the soul of Scandinavia in winter, completely different from anything we know in Australia. Picture vast snowscapes glinting under the low Arctic sun, cozy candle-lit rooms, and night skies alive with swirling green light. Our small group adventure begins in the charming, cobblestoned capitals of Stockholm and Oslo, before we leave the cities behind for the legendary landscapes this region is famous for. Ride the Flåm Railway past snowy peaks, frozen waterfalls, and UNESCO-listed fjords to the colourful town of Bergen, steeped in Hanseatic history.

Board the Hurtigruten ship, which has connected Norway’s coastal communities since 1893, and sail through jaw-dropping scenery to the tip of the continent at Kirkenes. Being out at sea often means darker skies and wide-open horizons — ideal conditions for spotting the northern lights. Cross into Finland’s pristine Lapland, where Sámi culture and Arctic wildlife await. Drive a team of huskies across frozen trails, meet gentle reindeer, and join a moonlit snowmobile tour in search of the aurora borealis. Warm up by a crackling fire, savour local delicacies, and marvel at the silence only a Nordic Winter can bring.

Your journey ends in vibrant Helsinki — or, for those eager for more, extend your adventure across the Gulf of Finland to explore Tallinn’s medieval streets.

Lapland and Scandinavia and experience the magic of winter.
