Propose Under The Northern Lights

Everything you need for your ultimate Northern Lights proposal ideas in the Arctic

Thinking of popping the question? Proposal packages in Tromsø under the aurora is one of many proposal ideas to remember forever.

Your proposal is something you will share with friends, family and co-workers for the rest of your life. While there are so many proposal ideas out there, it is important to put your own spin on it to ensure it will be a moment to remember forever. While planning a proposal takes some serious work, our team is here to help you plan your special moment at no additional cost.

 

Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning a proposal under the Northern Lights:

 

Choosing the right northern lights proposal destination:

The image above shows the “aurora belt” - a belt of cities usually above the Arctic circle with the perfect fall, winter and spring conditions to see the Northern Lights Dance in the sky above. While you can watch the Northern Lights in several destinations across the world, it is important to choose one with several activities to do to make your trip worth the while. For example: Sailing through the Norwegian fjords, whale watching, reindeer feeding, dog sledding and snowshoe hiking are a few activities all leaving from central Tromsø, while other destinations may cause you to drive several hours in Arctic conditions to get to each excursion.

Choosing the right time of year to propose under the Northern Lights:

The Northern Lights can only be seen from September to March in Tromsø. We have one of the longest Northern Lights season in the world due to our far latitude (which is farther North than Iceland). The weather has an impact to your ability to see the Northern Lights. Even if the Northern Lights are activity in the sky you need clear skies to see them. Normally the weather is either good on the coast or inland – we picked Tromsø as our favorite northern lights destination because it has both, and this really helps you increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

The Northern Lights Forecast :

One of our most frequently asked questions we get is “What is the Northern Lights Forecast?” with so many people traveling from all across the globe to see the Northern Lights, we want guests to be informed about the reality when chasing the green lady in the sky. We will inform you of the weather forecast the day before your trip, but it is hard to guarantee the weather will be clear.

Great weather & clear skies: While all of the “signs” may be on your side, if clouds roll in, there will be a very difficult chance to see the northern lights. With that being said, we check local forecasts and find openings in the clouds when possible. Sometimes we can drive to areas further inland, or through mountain passes ensuring we are reaching a different weather system area.

You will be given a personal trip planner that will be your personal contact throughout the planning process. From deciding weather you want to sail under the northern lights with a private chef to cook you a private meal on-board, a private northern lights tesla experience with a cozy bonfire and champagne or to simply join a tour and let us offer a special gift or private moment we are here to help you with all of your proposal ideas.
