Norway Tours
Our Norway tours are based in Tromsø, the largest city in Northern Norway, 217 miles (350 km) north of the Arctic Circle. From here, you can explore snowy fjords, the island of Kvaløya, the fishing village of Sommarøy and the wild coast of Senja.
- Winter: the 6-day Tromsø Northern Lights Tour combines aurora hunts by boat, car and snowshoe with a husky safari, snowmobiling and a night in a Sámi lavvu.
- Summer: the 5-day Midnight Sun in Norway: Tromsø Getaway includes a midnight campfire, kayaking and hiking under the sun that never sets.
Most activities on our Norway trips are in small groups, and we list exactly what is private and what is shared under each tour. For more ideas, read our Norway travel guide.

Sweden Tours
Our Sweden Winter Tour starts in Stockholm, with a private tour of the Old Town and a Swedish fika, then takes the overnight sleeper train north to Kiruna in Swedish Lapland.

The tour runs from December to the end of March, and a night in an ice room can be added on request.
The Jokkmokk Winter Market: every February, the Sámi town of Jokkmokk holds its winter market, a tradition that is more than 400 years old. The next one is on February 4–6, 2027. Our Sweden tours have flexible dates, so ask us about timing your trip with the market.

Which Scandinavia Tour Is Right for You?
Summer Under the Midnight Sun
From late May to July, the sun does not set in Tromsø. The Midnight Sun in Norway: Tromsø Getaway is a short, active trip with kayaking, hiking on Kvaløya and a trip to the white beaches of Sommarøy. It is our most affordable Scandinavia tour, from €1,150 for 5 days. The Northern Lights Road Trip can also be planned as a summer trip on request.
Winter and the Northern Lights
From September to early April, the dark Arctic nights are the season for the aurora. Choose the Tromsø Northern Lights Tour for fjords and the sea, or the Sweden Winter Tour for Stockholm, the Icehotel and Swedish Lapland. For more aurora trips in Finland and Norway, see our northern lights tours.
Norway, Sweden and Finland in One Trip
The 11-day Northern Lights Road Trip crosses three countries: from Inari and Levi in Finnish Lapland to Abisko in Sweden, then along the scenic route of Senja to Tromsø. It includes five guided northern lights tours, a husky safari and a visit to the Icehotel.
Scandinavia and the Baltic Capitals
The Baltic Cruise links three capitals in 7 days: Helsinki, Tallinn’s medieval Old Town and Stockholm, with an overnight ferry across the Baltic Sea. For more trips in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, see our Baltic tours.
Best Time to Visit Scandinavia
- December–January: the polar night in Tromsø and Swedish Lapland. The sun stays below the horizon, and the soft blue light lasts only a few hours.
- February–March: more daylight, plenty of snow and often clear, cold nights. A great time for huskies, the Icehotel and the northern lights, and the month of the Jokkmokk Winter Market.
- Late May–July: the midnight sun in Tromsø. Hiking, kayaking and bright nights on the coast.
- September–early April: the northern lights season in Arctic Norway and Sweden.
You cannot see the northern lights and the midnight sun on the same trip, because the aurora needs dark skies. For Tromsø month by month, read the best time to visit Tromsø.
“Senja is a calmer, more authentic Lofoten, with pure, untouched nature. In summer, Lofoten gets very crowded.”
In Swedish Lapland? “Don’t miss the Jokkmokk Winter Market in February. We went last year, and it is one of my favorite places in the north, together with the mountains around Kiruna.”

Getting to Norway and Sweden From the US
Most travelers fly from the US to Oslo, Stockholm or Helsinki, either nonstop or via another European hub. From there, it is a short domestic flight to Tromsø in Northern Norway or Kiruna in Swedish Lapland. On our Sweden Winter Tour, you travel from Stockholm to Swedish Lapland by overnight sleeper train.
The Northern Lights Road Trip starts in Finnish Lapland and ends in Tromsø, so you fly into one airport and home from another. Norway, Sweden and Finland are part of the Schengen Area, so you can cross the borders freely. Check the current entry rules for US citizens before you travel, and plan two extra days for the journey and the time difference.
