Winter & Northern Lights Tour of Norway

(6 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Bergen & Sognefjord, Tromso

This private tour combines the cultural and natural highlights of Bergen and the nearby fjords with the winter beauty of the Arctic Circle, including hunting for the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) outside Tromso.

Begin in Bergen, a historic port city and the gateway to Fjord Norway. During private touring, explore the picturesque Bryggen wharf district, a former Hanseatic trading post that's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the bustling fish market, and tour the Hanseatic Museum and Schotstuene to learn about life in medieval Bergen. Walk through the pretty backstreets of the town, and venture up the Floibanen funicular for panoramic views of Bergen and the harbor from the top of Mount Floyen. Other options include delving deeper into the city's history at Rosenkrantz Tower and the Bryggens Museum. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange optional excursions to Troldhaugen (Edvard Grieg's home), Old Bergen or the Bergen Aquarium. During the winter festive season, also visit the world's largest Gingerbread Town, and browse the food and crafts stalls at the Bergen Christmas Market. Upon request, tickets to holiday concerts and shows can also be arranged.

Continue to Tromso, a waterfront city above the Arctic Circle that's an ideal base for viewing the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) in the winter. With your private guide, visit the Arctic Cathedral (Tromsdalen Church) and Tromso Cathedral, learn about Arctic adventure in the Polar Museum, browse art galleries and shops selling Norwegian handicrafts, and ride the cable car up a nearby mountain for panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes. During the winter festive season, also enjoy visiting Christmas markets and shops, and see the large Christmas tree in the city's main square. Also enjoy winter activities such as snowshoeing, snowmobiling and dog sledding. One evening, enjoy a private excursion by boat to hunt for the magical Northern Lights. Another evening, search for the Northern Lights by private vehicle. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities such as hiking, fishing, whale watching and staying overnight in an igloo.

This private Norway tour can be further customized with additional time or destinations in Norway or neighboring countries, such as Sweden and Denmark. Contact one of our Scandinavia specialists to start planning.
