Begin in Oslo and ride the scenic Dovre Line to Trondheim – mountain plateaus, snowy valleys, and slow‑motion winter scenery. Then board a classic coastal ship with Hurtigruten or Havila for a two‑night voyage north: panoramic lounges, crisp sea air, Aurora alerts after dark, and fjords sliding by like a moving postcard. Sail across the Arctic Circle, call at Bodø, and step ashore in the Lofoten Islands for a Viking feast – long tables, hearty fare, and stories by firelight. The route culminates in Tromsø, Norway’s Aurora capital, where a central stay sets you up for a final Northern Lights outing before returning to Oslo. This is the Oslo to Tromsø Northern Lights tour for travelers who want atmosphere and authenticity without the rush – rail to sail, south to north, with multiple, comfortable chances to see the sky go electric.
