Scandinavia is much more than just the Northern Lights with Collette

Pawtucket, RI (August 22, 2024) – Collette’s “The Northern Lights of Finland” and “Iceland’s Magical Northern Lights,” are designed to give travelers the best opportunity to see the natural light show, while also showcasing each country’s rich culture and natural wonders.

In Finland, travelers search for the northern lights from the comfort of their own igloo in Kakslauttanen. In Iceland, there are northern lights searches by cruise and by coach to bring travelers to the best areas for sightings.

“We know that experiencing the northern lights is one of the biggest draws for travelers looking to explore Scandinavia, but we’re not always able to guarantee that they see them,” said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, chief executive officer at Collette. “That means two things to us. First, we want to give them the best chance to see this natural light show. With activities dedicated to doing just that. Second, these tours give travelers so much more. These are beautiful countries and we explore them in unique ways. Our travelers are whisked through the snow by dogsled as they venture through Finland’s great outdoors. When they’re in Iceland they get to see floating icebergs in Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon.”
