The Northern Lights

Nine-day independent rail trip through Norway to chase the aurora

Railbookers operates this nine-day, eight-night independent rail package to Norway, built around the chance to see the aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights. The route runs from Oslo to Trondheim and on to Bodo, before returning to Oslo. As an independent package, travelers move between these three cities largely on their own rather than as part of an escorted group. The evidence available to us does not include a day-by-day breakdown of the trip, so the exact schedule and the number of nights spent in each city are not confirmed here. This trip suits travelers whose main goal is the chance to see the northern lights amid Norway's scenery, rather than a packed sightseeing schedule built around named attractions.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package in the evidence available to us; confirm the order of the stops in Oslo, Trondheim, and Bodo, and how many nights are spent in each, directly with them before booking.
  • The description frames the northern lights as something you will have 'the opportunity to witness', not a guarantee; seeing the aurora depends on conditions outside the operator's control.
