Travel to the Arctic
AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY
Transform dreams of pristine, icy landscapes into reality with a journey to the Arctic. Arrive in Norway, known as the Gateway to the Arctic, then get on a Northern Lights Excursion, learn to mush your own team of huskies, board a boat to explore Arctic waters, travel to Svalbard, one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas or take a snowmobile ride across the Arctic tundra, experiencing the vast, icy wilderness.
Set sail on an expedition cruise around the Svalbard archipelago. Enjoy luxurious accommodations and gourmet dining onboard.Look out for polar bears, walruses, and Arctic foxes while navigating through icy fjords and past towering icebergs. The best time to visit the Arctic for Northern Lights is from late September to early April. For wildlife viewing and milder weather, June to August is ideal.

LOCAL EXPERIENCES WE LOVE
Norway, with its dramatic fjords, vibrant cities, and proximity to the Arctic, holds a special place in the heart of SJT – Sonia’s top bucket list destination (link to the video). Norway provides some of the best opportunities to witness the Northern Lights. During winter, Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands are prime locations for experiencing this natural phenomenon, where the skies come alive with vibrant displays of auroras. In summer, the Land of the Midnight Sun offers endless daylight, perfect for exploring and taking in the country’s natural beauty.
