Itinerary

Welcome to Helsinki, with its excellent museums and pretty seaside buildings. This beautiful city is set to be your home for the night. At Helsinki airport, transfers depart at 10:00, 14:00 and 16:00 for the grand GLO Hotel Art. Meet your Travel Director at 18:00 for a drinks reception. Decorated in a distinctive Art Nouveau style, this charming four-star hotel is the ideal place to sit back and get to know your fellow travellers, before your Scandinavian adventure begins.

Today you’ll take a flight to Ivalo, a small yet important centre in Finnish Lapland, 250km above the Arctic Circle. The Gateway to the North, Ivalo is set on the Ivalo River, where the first Lapland Goldrush took place in the 19th century.You’ll enjoy a Welcome Dinner at your boutique hotel, Aurora Village, famed for its cabins with a glass roof, offering sweeping views of the night sky. Look out for the dancing northern lights, as you gaze through the glass ceiling from the comfort of your room. Please note that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and therefore sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Today you’ll be heading further North through the winter Lapland landscape. Cross the Finnish–Norwegian border as you make your way to Honningsvåg, the northernmost and smallest city in Norway. Your drive will take you along the mighty Porsangerfjord, the fourth largest fjord in Norway. You will take the subsea Nordkapp Tunnel to the island of Magerøya, to reach your hotel in this small fishing community. Explore the quaint city by taking a stroll along the waterfront before retiring to your hotel and enjoying a delicious dinner.

Enjoy a leisurely day to discover more of Honningsvåg. Take a walk to the 19th century church that survived the destruction of World War 2, a true rarity in Northern Norway. Perhaps take an Optional Experience to learn about king crabs and enjoy a fresh, sea-to-table lunch of this delicacy. Take your chance to visit the northernmost point of Europe, the famous North Cape and sip on bubbles and delight in exquisite caviar with your fellow travellers (weather permitting).

Today’s journey will take you along an ever changing landscape from barren lands through highlands to the shores of the Altafjord. It was in Alta where the world’s first northern lights observatory was built at the end of the 19th century. With increasing tourism the city is going through quick development offering a wide range of activities. Start your adventures with a visit to one of the first ice hotels in the world and enjoy a chilled beverage with your fellow travellers. Your comfortable hotel is located next to the modern and iconic Northern Lights Cathedral in the heart of the city.

You’ll enjoy a leisurely day in Alta to continue with your activities. Maybe you’ll choose to visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Alta Museum famous for its prehistoric rock carvings. Later, you’ll visit a working husky farm and get to know the Lyrek family and champion sled dogs. Learn about the Alaskan huskies and the challenges they face competing in the marathon long Arctic dog sled races. Indulge in a delectable oven-baked Highlight Lunch before meeting the dogs themselves.

Today you’ll head to Tromsø, northern Norway’s largest city, located on the island of Tromsøya. You’ll be surrounded by snowcapped mountains and ethereal water views. Just a short walk from your hotel, you’ll find a high concentration of old wooden houses and a great array of restaurants.

In the morning, take a flight from Tromsø to Oslo, a modern city located on the shores of the Oslofjord. Surrounded by forested mountains, city dwellers and visitors alike have easy access to nature all year round. On your orientation see the Oslo Opera House and the new Deichmann Library in the contemporary Bjørvika district. Join your fellow travellers at a local restaurant to make a toast to newfound friends and a wonderful journey, over a Celebration Dinner with wine.

It’s time to say farewell to your fellow travellers. Transfers arrive into Oslo airport at 07:15 or 10:15.

Yes, accommodation is typically included in Norway tour packages. Depending on the type of package and the level of comfort chosen, accommodations can range from budget-friendly hotels and hostels to luxurious resorts and lodges. Many tour packages offer a variety of options to cater to different preferences and budgets. Whether it's staying in the heart of bustling cities, near the serene fjords, or amidst the tranquil countryside, travelers can expect comfortable lodging throughout their Norway journey. Including accommodation in the tour package ensures that travelers have a hassle-free experience, allowing them to focus on exploring the country's stunning landscapes, rich culture, and diverse attractions.

The currency of Norway is the Norwegian Krone, abbreviated as NOK. The krone is the official legal tender used throughout the country for all transactions. One krone is further divided into 100 øre, though the use of øre coins has declined, and most transactions are rounded to the nearest krone. As a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Norway is not part of the European Union, but it is closely connected to the EU's economic policies, and the krone's exchange rate can be influenced by international financial markets. When visiting Norway, it is essential to be aware of the current exchange rates and have local currency available for purchases, as not all places may accept credit cards or foreign currencies.

The best time to visit Norway largely depends on the type of experience one desires. For travelers seeking pleasant weather and long daylight hours for outdoor activities, the summer months from June to August are ideal. During this time, the country comes alive with vibrant festivals, and the stunning fjords, mountains, and coastal areas are easily accessible. Alternatively, for those eager to witness the magical Northern Lights, the winter months from late September to early April offer the best chance, especially in northern regions like Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands. Keep in mind that winter can be cold, but it also presents opportunities for winter sports and unique cultural experiences. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are shoulder seasons with milder weather, fewer crowds, and a chance to catch the stunning colors of the fall foliage. Ultimately, the best time to visit Norway depends on individual preferences, whether it's for summer adventures, winter wonderlands, or the enchanting auroras.

Booking a Norway tour package is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in a few simple steps. First, conduct research to find reputable travel agencies or online platforms that offer Norway tour packages. Browse through their itineraries to select the package that best suits your preferences and interests. Once you've chosen a package, review the details, inclusions, and pricing. Next, contact the travel agency or use their online booking system to make a reservation. Provide the necessary information, including travel dates, the number of participants, and any specific requirements. After confirming the booking, you may be required to make a deposit or full payment, depending on the agency's policies. Finally, receive your itinerary and travel documents, and prepare for an exciting adventure in Norway, knowing that your tour package will take care of accommodation, transportation, and guided experiences, ensuring a seamless and memorable journey.
