Norway is renowned for its stunning mountain landscapes, characterized by rugged peaks, deep fjords, and vast plateaus. The mountains were largely shaped by glaciation during the Ice Ages, leading to the formation of deep fjords and steep cliffs. The country is famous for its extensive network of hiking trails. Norway's mountains offer breathtaking scenery, challenging outdoor activities, and a deep sense of natural beauty and adventure.

Legend has it that the Arctic fox plays a key role when it comes to the Northern Lights. As it dashes across the snowy landscapes, its tail brushes against the snow, igniting sparks that dance into the sky, painting it with vibrant hues. Other tales whisper of the fox playfully tossing a magical ball of fire, crafting the breathtaking display we know and love. 🦊❄️

Reindeer Facts🦌:
Female Reindeers lose their antlers in summer. Throughout the summer months, male reindeers use their antlers to fight for territory and mating privileges. When Winter comes round, male reindeers lose their antlers and the females grow theirs. This gives them advantages when it comes to securing food for themselves and their young ones.

Summer is approaching slowly. From May to August the phenomenon known as the midnight sun starts to appear in northern Finnish skies. The sun is visible even at midnight and the continuous days of never-ending daylight approach. Further south, the sun is visible nearly around the clock throughout June and July.

Winter in the Arctic is slowely coming to an end. The weather is starting to get warmer and the snow is gradually melting away.

We’re a leading online travel agency based in the UK. We’ve been organising holidays, educational tours and corporate trips to the Arctic for the last 15 years. We love the Arctic - we don’t arrange trips to anywhere else - and we have first-hand experience of all our destinations. We’re also protected by ABTA and ATOL, so, whether you want to see the Northern Lights, stay in a glass igloo or head into the wilderness on a husky adventure you can trust us to show you the very best the Arctic has to offer.

As specialists, we know more about Arctic travel than anyone else and will work with you to create exactly the right trip. You can choose from a wide range of packages to Finland, Sweden, Norway and further afield (all of which can be can customised to suit) or create a bespoke bucket list adventure. Whatever you choose you’ll be creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Looking to tick the Northern Lights off your ‘must-see’ list? Perhaps you have always wanted to stay in an Ice Hotel or a Glass Igloo? Or maybe you dream of mushing a team of huskies or driving a snowmobile? With Arctic Direct you can do all of this AND travel with a trusted and fully licensed UK operator.

Some of our most popular adventures include:

Fancy a couple of nights in Helsinki as well? We’re here to help! Just let us know and we can put together the perfect trip for you.

ICEHOTEL - We offer a variety of fantastic trips, deluxe tours and extended breaks to the stunning ICEHOTEL in Sweden. Why not combine a night in one of the beautifully designed ice suites with a stay in the one of the treetop suites at Treehotel - two iconic hotels in one visit! We have some great suppliers in this area so if you want an overnight stay in the wilderness we can do that too.
