Experience the Northern Lights in extraordinary luxury
The Northern Lights are one of nature’s most remarkable displays. Watching ribbons of green light move across the Arctic sky, surrounded by snow covered forests, dramatic mountains or peaceful wilderness, is an experience that stays with you long after you return home.
At Aurora Nights, we specialise in creating exceptional, tailor made Northern Lights holidays across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
For 2027, we are bringing together some of the most extraordinary Arctic accommodation, privately guided adventures and memorable experiences, creating luxury holidays designed entirely around you.
Whether you dream of watching the Northern Lights from a glass roof cabin in Finland, exploring Arctic Sweden with your own guide or staying in a secluded Norwegian lodge overlooking a fjord, we will create a journey that reflects your interests, preferred travel dates and the level of luxury you enjoy.
Is 2027 a good year to see the Northern Lights?
Yes. 2027 remains a wonderful year to plan a Northern Lights holiday, particularly in destinations situated beneath the auroral oval.
The Sun follows a cycle of activity lasting approximately 11 years. Solar Cycle 25 reached its most active period around 2024 and 2025, and although activity is now moving towards a quieter phase, spectacular Northern Lights displays remain possible.
For travellers visiting the Arctic in 2027, the important considerations are choosing a suitable location, travelling during the darker months and allowing several evenings for potential sightings.
No one can guarantee when the Northern Lights will appear, but our knowledge of the destinations and our network of experienced local guides help us plan rewarding opportunities to search for them.

The luxury of a private Northern Lights experience
For many of our travellers, the opportunity to experience the Northern Lights privately makes the occasion even more special.
We can arrange expert guides who understand the local landscape, weather conditions and suitable viewing locations.
Depending on your destination, your evening might involve travelling by private vehicle to a secluded viewpoint, exploring a snowy wilderness on snowmobiles or spending time beside a fire beneath the Arctic sky.
With a private experience, there is greater freedom to consider your preferences, photography interests and the pace of the evening.
Exceptional accommodation beneath the Arctic sky
Your accommodation is an important part of your Northern Lights holiday.
Choose from glass roof cabins, luxury wilderness lodges, boutique hotels, exclusive use villas and intimate retreats surrounded by nature.
We carefully consider location, comfort, access to viewing opportunities and the experiences available nearby.
The result is a holiday that remains exceptional whether the Northern Lights appear every evening or the skies are quiet.
Discover Aurora Buddy
Our in house Aurora Buddy app helps make Northern Lights information more accessible.
Bringing together space weather information, local conditions and Aurora activity, the app provides an easy to understand score, alerts and updates to help identify promising viewing opportunities.
You can also explore sightings shared by other Aurora enthusiasts, providing another way to follow activity during your holiday.
