This epic journey encapsulates Norway’s Trondelag region at its scenic best. After exploring the thousand-year-old history of third-city, Trondheim, you’ll take the Polar Express into the Arctic Circle, winding past mighty fjords and snow-clad forests. Included flight hops will then see you to the Lofoten Islands, where you’ll stay in a stilted fishermen’s cabin and explore the archipelago under the Northern Lights.

Day by day itinerary

  • Day 1 » Trondheim

    Fly direct to Trondheim and check in to your central accommodation – a contemporary gem housed in a century-old stone building. Spend the rest of the day exploring this historic city. Founded by the Vikings as a trading post in the 10th century, Trondheim has long been one of Scandinavia's most important cities. Once Norway's capital, its colourful old town and grand Gothic cathedral are joys to explore, and there's a whole host of cosy pubs, cafes and restaurants to welcome visitors in from the cold. 

    Stay: Thon Hotel Nidaros

  • Day 2 » Bodø

    Today, take the ‘Polar Express’, otherwise known as the Nordland Railway, which spends ten hours winding through Norway’s wild mountains offering stunning views of the fjords, forests and lochs along the way to Bodø inside the Arctic Circle.

    Stay: Clarion Collection Hotel Grand Bodo

    Meals: Breakfast

  • Days 3-5 » Lofoten Islands

    Catch a quick flight to Svolvær, the largest settlement on the Lofoten Islands and transfer to the Svinoya Rorbuer, a unique collection of historical houses and rorbua cabins located in the heart of this otherworldly archipelago whose sharp peaks rise almost vertically from the sea.

    Tonight we have included a welcome 3-course dinner at Borsen Spiseri. Formally the general store, established in 1828, expect fresh ingredients from Lofoten's unique larder.

    Spend the next few days enjoying sauna experiences, walks and wildlife safari's. Included is a Northern Lights hunt with the Aurora Jager (hunter) who goes to extra ordinary lengths to find the aurora for you. All this is set to a backdrop of peaceful bays and pretty fishing villages seemingly untouched by time.

    Dinner on nights 4 and 5 are taken at leisure and paid for locally.

    Stay: Svinoya Rorbuer, Norway
