Each evening offers a different approach: a Northern Lights dinner cruise through quiet fjords, a Sami cultural evening with reindeer encounters and traditional storytelling, and an expert-led Northern Lights chase targeting optimal viewing conditions. Your Oslo to Tromsø Northern Lights package includes flights from the capital, centrally located accommodation in Tromsø, and the flexibility to add optional daytime activities. Consider dog sledding, snowmobile tours, or whale watching during peak season (typically November-January). The tour operates from September through March when darkness creates favorable aurora viewing conditions. Three nights in Tromsø's high-latitude location – positioned 350 kilometers above the Arctic Circle – provide multiple opportunities to witness the Northern Lights while experienced guides monitor forecasts and adjust evening activities to target the clearest skies. Imagine dining while gliding silently on the sea with the northern lights dancing in the sky. Photo by Brim Explorer The arctic fjords near Tromsø are beautiful in winter.
