Let the snowbirds fly south for winter, Ireland’s national airline is heading for Norway where the Aer is cleaner.
Aer Lingus launched its inaugural Dublin-Tromsø service today, December 3.
Giving customers a new way to experience the magic of the Northern Lights.
Flights to Tromsø will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays, until March.
With one-way fares starting from €101 including taxes, charges, and carrier-imposed fees.
Arctic awe
Now the most popular spot to spot the Aurora Borealis, or Heavenly Dancers, is from atop Mount Storsteinen.
Which you can access on the Fjellheisen cable car to the summit of Mount Storsteinen.
Where you can see the city clearly lit up including Arctic Cathedral.
All white
Skiers too dot the Norwegian landscape at Tromsø Alpinpark, just 12 km from the airport.
Now our Tromsø venner (or friends) have put on a wide and varied range of ways to see the Northern Lights.
Of course, standing still and waiting is an option, with a warm gløgg mulled wine.
Get there how you can
But it looks more fun letting the Norwegians take you to the best vantage points on any numbers of Arctic transport.
Some of which even include whale as well as star watching.
Including night reindeer sledding with dinner, and don’t worry Rudolph is not on the menu. Or husky.
Seafarers will hone in on sailboats, catamarans, cruises, vintage vessels or if it’s your thang, kayaking.
For those who like to get somewhere on foot then you can even ski or snowshoe to your destination.
Or minibus, or whisper it Tesla it.
