Offering two spectacular ways to witness the Aurora Borealis in all its glory—each with a unique blend of icy adventure, warm hospitality and luxury—Albatross Tours is just the right amount of indulgence.
You know that feeling when you step outside on a crisp winter night, glance up and the sky is just… dark?
Now, imagine, instead, a sky bursting into an electrifying display of swirling green, purple and gold so awe-inspiring that it’s basically like Mother Nature crafted her own laser light show!
If you haven’t had the chance to experience the Northern Lights for yourself just yet, thankfully you’re in luck, because Albatross Tours has just launched a couple of new tours for 2026 that are just epic.
And trust us, these aren’t your average, run-of-the-mill kind of trips. These are immersive, meticulously planned and genuinely inclusive journeys packed with unforgettable experiences.
So, who’s in for a bucket-list-worthy trip where the sky itself puts on the show of a lifetime?
(Everybody puts their hands up.)
Northern Lights, Ice Hotels & Huskies – 9 days
Ever wanted to sleep in a hotel made entirely of ice?
Of course, you have!
On this 9-day adventure, you’ll check into Sweden’s legendary IceHotel, where even the beds are carved from ice (don’t worry, they throw in some thermal sleeping bags), dine in a cabin in the forest wilderness (because why not?), and take an exhilarating excursion on an Icebreaker ship with a “dry suit” swim in the frozen Baltic Sea…
Cool, huh?
And because no Arctic escape is complete without some serious sled-dog action, you’ll be whisked through pristine snowfields on a husky safari and get to meet the Sami people who call this icy pocket of the world home.
And that’s just the start of it…
With 17 meals included, you’ll be well-fed, well-rested too, and well on your way to witnessing the Northern Lights dance across the sky.
When: Departing 27 February or 13 March 2026
How much: From $11,987pp twin share

Iceland – Fire, Ice Caves & Frozen Waterfalls – 12 days
Ah, Iceland, the land of fire and ice, flaunting stunning, otherworldly landscapes, unending opportunities for adventure and full of experiences that you just can’t have anywhere else…
Oh, and it’s incredibly relaxing too, thanks to its geothermal hot springs that just beckon for a soak or three!
Taking you to iconic spots like the dazzling Diamond Beach, where icebergs scatter across black volcanic sand like nature’s version of glitter, and across frosty glaciers surrounded by volcanoes on a monster 4WD, this 12-day tour is the perfect blend of raw nature, adventure and beautiful displays of cosmic dust in the night sky.
Soaking in the legendary Blue Lagoon is obviously included in this Icelandic adventure, as are trips to marvel at the sheer power of giant waterfalls like Gullfoss Falls and explore eerie ice caves where shades of blue you didn’t even know existed shimmer in the frozen depths…
With 20 meals included and five nights well away from city lights, you’ll have plenty of fuel and opportunity for your Northern Lights experience par excellence!
When: Departing 9 February or 23 March 2026
