The Northern Lights are one of the world's most famous natural phenomena, with thousands of travellers visiting Finland, Greenland, Iceland and Norway for a glimpse of the incredible colours this solar display creates.
The specialist holiday and travel firm, Baltic Travel Company, offering bespoke and unique trips to destinations throughout Scandinavia, The Nordics, The Baltics, The Balkans and Baltic travel holidays has announced a new range of luxury and family-friendly tour packages for 2023 due to the high demand for Northern Lights holidays.
The Baltic Travel Company endeavours to provide first-class travel experiences, with accommodations ranging from high-end cabins, glass igloos and ice hotels to traditional lodges.
The Northern Lights as a Global Travel Destination
One of the challenges for keen photographers, nature lovers and astronomers is that the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is not visible year-round and can be obstructed by dense cloud cover and light pollution that dilute the effect.
The nature of the Northern Lights also means they can be unreliable, so advice and guidance are important to ensure visitors are not disappointed. The Baltic Travel Company curates packages for the best time to see the Northern Lights, including night trips and tours to remote regions, to maximise the number of times guests can view the Aurora.
Services such as an Aurora alarm, local guides, snowscape excursions and accommodation in more rural regions enhance the visitor experience, with advice available on selected tours, night trips and locations ideal for a Northern Lights adventure.
The Daily Scandinavian reports that international travel to Northern Norway increased 378% in the ten years to 2016, reflecting the huge appeal of this magical display by Mother Nature.
However, travellers staying within cities are less likely to see the Aurora first-hand. A more immersive itinerary ensures international tourists enjoy the culture, outdoor sports activities, cuisine and lifestyle that make northernmost regions a great place to visit.
New Northern Lights Tour Packages for 2023
The Baltic Travel Company has added several new holiday packages to its offerings for 2023, catering to a growingly diverse traveller demographic and designing tours suited to families and younger people, as well as those interested in photography and snow-based activities.
As an expert in Scandinavian and Balkan travel, the organisation can recommend the best options depending on priorities, required travel dates, group size and specifics around the countries, cities or areas guests would most like to visit.
Among the new options are:
- Arctic Wildlife Tours in Finnish Lapland: a four-day trip to Ranua, south of the Arctic Circle and home to species such as wolves, polar bears and moose. Accommodation adjacent to a wildlife park provides other ways to observe native animals, including eagles and Arctic foxes, with huskie sledding, snow safaris and horse-powered sleigh rides to search for the Finland Northern Lights.
- Comprehensive Arctic Tours in Norway: a six-night tour including a coastal cruise, overnight snow hotel accommodation, snowmobiling, king crab fishing, whale safari, a reindeer safari and dog sledding, touring Tromso and Kirkenes with the chance to hunt for the Northern Lights and relax in a Finnish sauna.
- Four-Day Winter Wonderland Tours in Finnish Lapland: where guests can use snowshoes to venture into the wilderness with a local guide to experience the Northern Lights. Visitors experience dog-sledding and can sleep in an Aurora bubble, watching the lights above their sleeping quarters in a modern, fully heated dome.
The Baltic Travel Company offers a broad range of pre-existing packages and tours, with various activities and excursions, including return flights, airport transfers, and half or full-board catering.
