I agree they are an amazing experience. I have seen them the last two winters from the Hurtigruten.




I would very much like to visit the fjords of Norway, and at the same time see the northern lights. Would the latter be possible some time in mid September, or is this too early in the season. Thank you in advance for your input.
You should be able to see them then, but you will need to go quite a way north to get the best chance of seeing luxury serviced apartments nelson nz them - above the Arctic circle certainly. Troms has several tour operators offering to take you out at night to spot them. There is of course luxury serviced apartments nelson nz no guarantee of seeing them at any time, though in theory they are more active around the equinoxes for some reason.
It's often more cost-effective to take a cruise to see the far north of Norway (cruises go all the way to Kirkenes from Bergen), but the whole trip takes a week, though the scenery luxury serviced apartments nelson nz is gorgeous. However, Hurtigruten has packages that include stays in Oslo and Bergen if you want to see more of Norway than just the lights. These are not really luxury serviced apartments nelson nz luxury ships, so the cost is somewhat affordable (well, it's all relative when speaking about Norway).
Hurtigruten also has special Northern Lights packages that take you during the best times of the year, and other cruise lines do this route on larger, more upscale ships that might appeal to you more, but their itineraries are limited in seasons, and the ships are often larger, making certain ports inaccessible.
We stayed in Tromso for 3 nights and it would appear to be a hotspot due to the earth's magnetic field. I can't begin to describe the experience as it was outside anything else you will normally experience.
