Alaska Northern Lights & Winter Nights
Experience the magic of an unforgettable 7-day journey through the heart of Alaska's winter wonderland.

One extraordinary evening spent in the wilderness provides an unparalleled opportunity to catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing aurora borealis. Along the way, participants will engage in exciting activities designed to showcase Alaskan culture, such as exhilarating dog-sled rides across the snow-covered tundra and a curling lesson, a traditional Alaskan sport that adds to the adventure. A visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center allows travelers to encounter diverse wildlife native to the region, enriching the overall experience.
Northern Lights on a Winter Arctic Cruise
In addition to the Alaskan adventure, the new 12-day Scandinavian cruise offers an extraordinary opportunity to explore Norway’s fjords and the Arctic Circle. This remarkable journey leads travelers to the North Cape plateau, celebrated as the northernmost point in Europe, aboard a modern cruise ship. A highlight of this trip is the chance to witness the stunning Northern Lights, especially while sailing through the picturesque Lofoten Islands. Starting from Oslo, travelers will begin their journey with a scenic train ride along the iconic Bergen Railway, showcasing the striking fjords and landscapes that Norway is famous for.
