Combine the Scandinavian Capitals Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo with a Northern Lights break in Tromsø in Northern Norway. Travel by train and overnight cruise ferry, and book a flight to Tromsø where you can experience the Northern Lights and exotic winter activities.
Arrival in Stockholm according to your own itinerary. The Swedish capital has plenty on offer to its visitors. You will find everything from historical buildings to trendy bars and cafes, modern shopping malls to unique boutiques, from vibrant city life to the tranquillity of the Stockholm archipelago. Stockholm is, with good reason, often referred to as "Beauty on Water". This is partly due to its location on 14 islands, but also because of its neighbour - the Stockholm archipelago with 24 000 islands. Accommodation in Stockholm.
Breakfast at the hotel. This day is at your own leisure in Stockholm to explore the city. Sights of interest include the Vasa Museum, Skansen Open Air Museum, City Hall, the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and much more. We also recommend one of the optional sightseeing tours like the Stockholm Panorama which will give you a good impression of the city and its sights. Or perhaps you would like to try your skills at long distance ice skating on the numerous large and small lakes of Lake Mälaren? Accommodation in Stockholm.
Breakfast at the hotel before departing by train to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark (5 hours train ride). In the charming city of Copenhagen one thousand years of history awaits you in the medieval streets; the same streets walked on by every generation of the world's oldest royal family, the same streets and canals which have inspired artists for centuries and been home and workplace to meticulous craftsmen and famous designers. Accommodation in Copenhagen.
Breakfast at the hotel. This day is at your own leisure to discover wonderful Copenhagen. Take a walk down Copenhagen's main shopping street Strøget, visit the lively Nyhavn harbour and explore the many sights Copenhagen has to offer.

Scandinavian breakfast buffet onboard before arriving in Oslo at 10:00 in the morning. The Norwegian capital is beautifully situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord and surrounded by forested ridges. The city’s surroundings provide recreational opportunities that are frequently taken advantage of by the city’s inhabitants, as well as increasingly by visitors. During the winter you can take the metro to Holmenkollen ridge and go tobogganing, or just enjoy the spectacular view while stopping for coffee and cake at Frognersetern Restaurant.

The arctic city of Tromsø is the world’s most northern university town and the largest city in the Nordic countries north of the Arctic Circle. The city lies between the sharp craggy peaks of the Lyngen Alps, and combines wild scenery with urban life. Sights of interest in Tromsø include the Arctic Cathedral, Polaria, the Polar Museum and the Mack brewery. Accommodation in Tromsø.
Breakfast at the hotel. This day is at your own leisure. We recommend adding one of the many optional winter activities (most available from November 15 or December 1), including dog sledding, Northern Lights observations and snowmobile safaris. Due to the city’s location right in the middle of the planet’s Northern Light’s belt, Tromsø offers the world’s best chances of spotting the Northern Lights. Accommodation in Tromsø.
