Northern lights on Svalbard - Experience the Polar Night

November - January

Experience the wonders of the Arctic with us: perpetual darkness, the sparkling light of the stars and the moon over deep snowy solitude and - with a little luck - wonderful northern lights!

Welcome to Svalbard! From November to January darkness reigns here. Only the moon and the stars illuminate the deep snowy world. Here we have the chance, thanks to the perpetual darkness, to see northern lights also "during the day". More polar bears than people live on the northernmost archipelago of Europe. Reindeer and Arctic foxes roam the snowy landscape and snowmobiles, skis and snowshoes are the preferred means of transportation in winter. Here you can find peace and relaxation in nature. Nevertheless, Longyearbyen is a lively settlement with the flair of an international small town. An airport provides convenient access and the town, which is geared towards tourism, leaves nothing to be desired for visitors.

Program schedule:

Day 1

Arrival and sightseeing tour

We will pick you up with a private transfer at the airport and bring you to your accommodation in Longyearbyen.

Feel the special atmosphere of the place, discover the treasures of the museum and the art gallery. Take a deep breath of the clear arctic air and let the peace and coziness of the everlasting darkness take effect on you!

In the evening we meet and discuss the plan for the next days.
