Tour Description:
17th Feb: Tromsø
Arrival in Tromsø, make your way to the Thon hotel Polar, this modern hotel is located in the centre of this beautiful arctic city. Tromsø, is home to the world’s northernmost university, brewery and cathedral has two special “nicknames”: it is known as ‘Paris of the North’ – due to direct trade connections with France during the 19th century- and as “the Gateway to the Arctic”, because for many decades this city has been the centre for arctic hunting and the starting point for the most famous Arctic expeditions.

18th Feb: Tromsø – Aurora flight
Enjoy a Scandinavian breakfast at the hotel. The day is yours at leisure, visit the Arctic Cathedral that with its large, angular form and light color can easily be associated with an iceberg. You can also enjoy a visit to Polaria, an adventure Centre with themes from the Polar Regions. If the weather is not too cloudy, you may also decide to take the famous “Fjellheisen” (cable car) that will take you to Storsteinen (Big Rock) on mount Fløya, 421 meters above sea level. The trip takes four minutes. From here you can enjoy the view of Tromsø and the surrounding islands and fjords. This evening board your coach and head off to the airport. At 22h00 your northern lights flight departs. You fly high above skies maximising your chances of seeing the dancing lights, long distances are covered over a relatively short period of time allowing spectacular views from above. Champagne in hand, the memory of this excursion is bound to last a lifetime. Return back to the airport at 23h00 and coach transfer to the hotel.
