Angle,

I've got no idea what the prices are on this site and whether they're any good but I bookmarked it some time last year as I was thinking of surprising my husband with a similar thing.  We've since booked 18 days in Canada so won't be doing this after all!

Hi

Yes we went a few years back to the ice hotel we got the over night train and stayed at the hotel (warm rooms not the ones made of ice) for 2 nights and then the overnight train back.

We went on a snowmobile trip and saw the lights - amazing !!

Saw -them several nights running in Scotland a few years ago... One night was pretty impressive, the rest you were just aware of them,,,

16250 kroner per person = approx £1750

Growing up in the Highlands we'd get them every winter. They're all right, but at the risk of sounding like a heathen, I certainly wouldn't spend the best part of £2k on them. It's just lights in the sky - much better to buy a kaleidoscope & go sit on a beach in the Canaries for a quarter of the price!

 I've been to the Blackpool Illuminations... does that count? ;D

 Did anyone see the programe that JOANNA LUMLY, did about the "Northern Lights" truely amazing she was so emotionally overcome by it all, i would love to see that again. ;D

Yes Mary I did. Fantastic

It was repeated over Christmas- might still be around on the web?

Just LOVED them in Russia - but soon took them for granted.

 I just cannot believe that i missed the repeat only a couple of weeks ago :o, i am so disappointed.

It was a brilliant programme I wish I had known it was repeated. :(  I would love to see them for real .

 :D thanks for your replies everyone and especially Sam and Cam for the links,


Cammy the ice hotel looks fab, thanks for the photos, I really fancy doing a Joanna Lumley... looks very spiritual,
