✈️ London (Heathrow & Gatwick)⁠
✈️ Manchester ⁠
✈️ Bristol⁠
✈️ Edinburgh⁠
✈️ Glasgow⁠

With these new and expanded connections, Norway's 'Capital of the Arctic' is closer and more accessible than ever before. ⁠

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and icy fjords, Tromsø is the perfect starting point for all manner of epic adventures in the Arctic wilderness, while the city itself offers a blend of cultural attractions, eye-catching architecture, cosy cafés and superb restaurants. ⁠

It's a captivating standalone destination in its own right, but Tromsø can also be easily combined with other, more remote experiences in the wider region – both on the Norwegian mainland, and even further north in Svalbard.⁠

Hidden away among the snow-cloaked forests, fells and lakes of Kuusamo in northeastern Finland, this secluded boutique wilderness resort features a collection of beautifully designed glass cabins and panoramic suites. Some of these come with their own private outdoor hot tub, perfect for relaxing soaks while watching the Northern Lights dance across the night sky.

Authentic, locally-sourced cuisine forms an integral part of the experience at Arctic Lumo Resort, with skilfully prepared dishes based on the freshest and finest quality seasonal produce from the surrounding region.

As well as enjoying a thrilling programme of guided winter excursions, including snowmobiling, husky sledding and ice floating, you'll get to spend a day on the slopes at nearby Ruka Ski Resort – where you can also ride the world's northernmost mountain roller coaster.

In one month today, Iceland will experience an exceptionally rare astronomical phenomenon – a total solar eclipse, which only occurs in any specific location once every 375-400 years 🇮🇸☀️

On 12th August, the total solar eclipse will occur just off Iceland's west coast, and the path of totality will cross the western side of the country, including the Westfjords, Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Reykjanes Peninsula.

During totality, the Moon completely obscures the face of the Sun, as the sky suddenly darkens, the temperature drops, and the Sun's outer atmosphere (the corona) becomes visible, glowing like a halo of light.

The whole spectacle will last for around two hours in total, while the period of totality will last between one and two minutes, depending on the exact location.

If you're fortunate enough to be in Iceland for this momentous occasion, it promises to be a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Before long, the skies will be dark enough for the first flickers of the Northern Lights to become visible once more, while new geothermal lagoons continue to emerge, such as the spectacular Reykjaböð Hot Springs – so there's also plenty of reason to consider a trip to Iceland later in the year.

In just a few weeks' time, summer's perpetual daylight will give way to darker nights as the first flickers of the Northern Lights become visible once more across the skies of Scandinavia and the Nordics.

While this awe-inspiring phenomenon is often associated with winter, autumn is a fantastic time of the year for aurora hunting, with sightings possible anytime from late August.

Indeed, autumn brings a host of advantages when it comes to planning a Northern Lights adventure, including milder temperatures, fewer crowds, spectacular lake reflections and the potential for powerful auroral displays in the period either side of the autumn equinox.
