Northern Lights Tours
Look up and watch as cascades of green, white and red dance
across the sky in one of the world's greatest natural spectacles,
the aurora borealis. Northern lights vacations in and around the
Arctic Circle highlight this phenomenon in the best possible way,
allowing travelers to spend their days exploring and their nights
chasing the colorful skies. For a globe-trotting adventure, select
from a range of travel packages that feature destinations in the
Nordic countries, including Norway, Finland, and Sweden. These
aurora tours not only offer unimaginable opportunities for northern
lights viewing, but they also put local culture at the forefront of
the adventure. Travelers are treated to rides aboard scenic
railways, visits to charming towns, and experiences that are unique
to each location, such as dog sledding and ferry rides across
frigid waters.
There are also vacations to see the northern lights within the
United States, in the far reaches of Alaska, where the untouched
wilderness is as abundant as the natural beauty. Alaska Northern
Lights tours are often bookended by time in major cities, such as
the Gold Rush-city of Fairbanks, renowned as one of the best places
in the world to see the aurora borealis, and Anchorage, where
culture and nature go hand-in-hand. In the heart of these tour
packages, stays at cozy resorts or lodges take travelers further
into the backcountry for even better viewing spots and plenty of
traditional Alaskan activities. Travelers may venture to Chena Hot
Springs, with its healing waters, or to Bettles Lodge, set deep in
the Arctic, where there is zero light pollution. Regardless of
where the holiday takes place, northern lights viewing is one of
those momentous experiences that linger in your memories for years
to come.
