In Search of the Northern Lights

28 Feb - 14 Mar 27: A 15 Day Fred Olsen Cruise In Search of the Northern Lights with Johnsons Coaches

    Sunday 28th February 2027 - Sunday 14th March 2027

    15 Days

    From £1,799

    Timed for one of the best periods to witness the Northern Lights, this two-week voyage into the Arctic offers the chance to fulfil one of travel’s most magical ambitions. With skies often clearer than in midwinter, conditions can be ideal for glimpsing nature’s colourful, dancing display. After crossing the Arctic Circle – a memorable experience in itself – two days in Narvik provide time to explore and perhaps join an evening tour in search of the aurora. Elsewhere, try winter activities such as tobogganing or husky sledding through snowy landscapes. Scenic cruising takes you past the striking Seven Sisters Mountain Range and the remarkable Torghatten Mountain, with its distinctive hole carved through the centre.
