What’s included
Itinerary
Your journey begins at London Heathrow, as you meet your fellow travellers and Tour Manager ahead of your flight to Oslo. In the Norwegian capital, your group connects with an onward northern flight to Tromsø. Situated in the Arctic Circle, Tromsø stands on its own forest-covered island and is known as the 'polar capital of Norway'. Surrounded by impressive nature, Tromsø is the largest city on northern Norway and, as home to the world's northernmost university, is a vibrant cultural hub.
At this time of the year, the attractive city is characterised by its polar nights, where the sun only briefly breaks over the horizon. Your hotel for two nights overlooks the harbour - which remains ice-free year-round due to the warming Gulf Stream. The rest of the afternoon is free to explore the picturesque old streets lined with wooden buildings or to pop into one of the city's many museums, including the Troll Museum or the North Norwegian Art Museum.
This evening, you gather back at the hotel to get to know one another better over your first dinner together.

Very enjoyable made even better by the competence of the tour manager. Adeline was one of the best managers I’ve met.

A well organised trip with lots of interesting activities. All accommodation and meals were very good. The only downside was that we felt our group of 37 was too large for one tour manager.
