Welcome to your ‘Cozy Tale in Tromso’!
If you're seeking the pinnacle of scandic winter wonder, you're quest ends here.

Stay at the elegant Radisson Blu Hotel, Tromso, where the serene Arctic atmosphere gently spurs you to relax, soak in the enchanting surroundings, and prepare for the extraordinary experiences that await.
Start off with a visit to Polaria, the world's northernmost aquarium—because who doesn’t want to see fish with an Arctic twist? Marvel at the captivating exhibits and watch a panoramic film that makes the wilderness feel just a tad closer to civilization.
As night descends, gear up for a thrilling Northern Lights chase with seasoned guides. Escape the city lights and venture into the great, dark yonder to find the clearest skies. Warm up with hot drinks and biscuits while the Aurora Borealis teases the night sky. A campfire-style dinner under the stars? Yes, please! It's like a cosmic picnic.
After a snug night’s rest, head out for a guided tour to the mesmerizing Tromso Ice Domes. The 90-minute drive through the stunning Tamok Valley is scenic enough to make even your camera feel inadequate. Once there, delve into the frosty details of ice dome construction and discover why snow is a big deal for Arctic wildlife. Oh, and don’t miss the chance to hang out with a small herd of reindeer.
Visiting in November or December? Lucky you! You can join a whale watching tour and spot these majestic sea giants in their natural habitat. Trust us, it's a whale of a time.
In the evenings, Tromso is your oyster. Visit the iconic Arctic Cathedral or the Tromso Museum, and treat your taste buds to some local cuisine at one of the city's top-notch restaurants.
Wrap up your Norwegian adventure with a delightful breakfast and a private transfer to Tromso Airport, and gear up for the finnish fairy-tale.
