Experience the different neighborhoods of Oslo

Oslo to Kirkenes - Into the Arctic North

Time for the real adventure to begin! Morning flight to Kirkenes puts you right in the heart of northern lights lodge accommodation territory. This Arctic town by the Russian border knows how to put on a show. Tonight's agenda: a northern lights tour featuring an epic dog sledding experience through untouched wilderness. Two hours of husky-powered magic with Aurora Borealis dancing overhead? Yeah, this is why you came to Norway.

Kirkenes arctic adventures & Snow Hotel Magic

Today's all about choices – and they're all amazing. Go king crab fishing and haul these massive Arctic creatures from beneath the ice or hop on a snowmobile for some high-speed Arctic exploration. But the real showstopper? Tonight, you're sleeping in the famous northern lights snow hotel package experience. This isn't just accommodation; it's an ice sculpture gallery where you happen to sleep. Cozy thermal sleeping bags included, because we're adventurous, not crazy.

Return to Oslo - urban exploration day

Back to civilization (temporarily). After your Arctic adventure, Oslo probably feels like a tropical paradise. Use this day to dive deeper into the capital – explore the MUNCH Museum, wander through Grünerløkka's trendy streets, or just sit in a café and marvel at how you survived sleeping in a snow hotel.

Oslo to Flåm - The famous railway journey

Here comes the Flåm railway northern lights tour component (well, minus the northern lights since you'll be traveling during daylight). Board the legendary Bergen Line for one of the world's most scenic train journeys. At Myrdal, switch to the famous Flåm Railway – one of Europe's steepest train rides that descends dramatically from mountain peaks to fjord level. Tonight, you'll sleep in Flåm, surrounded by some of Norway's most stunning fjord scenery.

Flåm to Bergen - The grand finale

Your northern lights fjord cruise combo wouldn't be complete without the actual fjord cruise part. Glide through the narrow Nærøyfjord and stunning Aurlandsfjord on an electric boat (because Vikings would totally approve of eco-friendly cruising).

Then it's bus to Voss and train to Bergen – Norway's charming "Gateway to the Fjords." Spend your final evening exploring UNESCO-listed Bryggen or splurging on dinner at Cornelius Seafood restaurant on a scenic island.
