Tromso & Sommarøy Winter Break
Combine city flair with wild coastal beauty on this Arctic Norway break that begins in lively Tromsø, known for its galleries, museums and northern lights displays.
Spend your first days soaking up the city’s creative spirit and sampling regional cuisine before heading out on a guided aurora search deep into the surrounding wilderness. Next, escape to the peaceful island of Sommarøy, where white-sand beaches, calm fjords and snow-covered peaks provide a dramatic contrast.
Hike to panoramic viewpoints, enjoy freshly caught seafood in a harbourside café, or take to the water on a kayak or paddleboard in search of seals and seabirds. With far-reaching views and minimal light pollution, Sommarøy also offers excellent conditions for late-night aurora sightings.
