Flights to Scandinavia

The sun that never sets

During the summer in Scandinavia, the sun never sets. Explore the exceptional beauty of the north of Scandinavia and the remarkable Midnight Sun. The Midnight Sun in Norway and Sweden is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle, where the sun remains visible at midnight. If the weather is fair, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours.

The further north of the Arctic Circle you travel, the greater the number of days the midnight sun may be visible. The Arctic Circle in northern Norway is located close to the Arctic town of Bodo and south of the Lofoten Islands. Great places to see the Midnight Sun's beauty are for example Tromsø and Bodo in Norway or Kiruna in Sweden.

Cruise through the Norwegian fjords

To enjoy Scandinavia to the fullest with the extended daylight hours, why not cruise through the Norwegian fjords? Start in the far north in Kirkenes, passing the North Cape (known as the northernmost point in Europe) visiting the city of Tromso, the beautiful Lofoten Islands and finish your cruise in the historic city of Trondheim.

Visit the Icehotel in Kiruna

Approximately 10 miles east of Kiruna is a small village called Jukkasjärvi, the location of the world-famous Icehotel. This amazing building is created each year during the middle of November, where it stays until the temperature rises and it melts away. The entire hotel is made of ice, with machines hauling huge blocks weighing up to 315 stone (2 tonnes), creating a unique design for the hotel each year.

The spectacular Northern Lights

You can see the Northern Lights all over the northern parts of Norway and Sweden, with coastal areas generally better than inland areas, as the coast has clear skies more often. Like curtains caught by the wind, the Northern Lights are elusive. However, when they do make an appearance, the entire sky explodes in color.

Great places to see the Northern Lights Alta, Bodo, Kirkenes, Longyearbyen and Tromsø in Norway. Luleå and Kiruna in Sweden.

Dog sledding safari in Tromsø

Fly to Tromsø, northern Norway’s largest city set on an island within the Arctic Circle, a popular destination for an unforgettable and exciting city break. This bustling city full of shops, cafés and bars gives access to some of the most exhilarating excursions and activities, including learning how to train and groom your dogs before taking part in a dog sledding safari.
