A once in lifetime experience

The start of your fully escorted small group tour is in Oslo, the capital city of Norway. You will travel on the Flåm Railway, one of the most well-known trains in the world, before connecting with The Coastal Express - North. On this trip up into Arctic Norway, you will likely witness the beautiful Northern Lights, cruise through scenic fjords, and visit quaint hamlets.

You'll travel south into Finnish Lapland from Kirkenes in far northern Norway, where you may enjoy stargazing from the comfort of your glass igloo while taking in the night sky. Next, learn about Rovaniemi, which is Santa Claus's official hometown.

Scientists predict the Solar Maximum in 2024-25 will result in the most frequent and impressive Northern Lights in more than a decade. The next Solar Maximum after 2024-25 won’t be for another 11 years until 2036.
