I am a solo traveler. Can I be paired with another solo traveler to avoid the single supplemental charge for room/board?

Would I be able to add on to the tour? So, I was hoping to see whales or add the whale watching/sighting aspect to this package? I really want to see the northern lights is why I chose this one.

We are ready to book but not sure about the tours with upgradable hotels?

The requested tour does not allow for hotel upgrades. We use First Class hotels for this tour.

Really want to see the Northern lights but not sure if Oct/early November is a better time or if March would be better. Also when is the weather better between those 2 times.

The best time to see the Northern Lights is on clear nights around midnight during the Aurora season starting at the end of August and finishing by mid-April. We have availability on our November 19, November 26 and December 3, 2023 departure dates.

Is a ride with a snowmobile possible as an extra activity on this tour?

There will not be an optional excursion for a snowmobile ride. You may have the opportunity to purchase with a local company. The Tour Director will be able to provide information of if an excursion is available.

Very nice and well organized. A few weather related snags but there was quick turn around with other plans.

Trip was excellent for the first time traveling internationally and with globus as well. EVERYTHING was planned flawlessly without any hiccups. Accommodations to meals to hotels, everything was made easy. The wealth of information provided prior to the trip was a big help and definitely relieved stress by providing contact numbers.
