Yukon Northern Lights Adventure

Start your holiday in style with included airport lounge access before your flight to Vancouver on Canada’s Pacific coast. On arrival, you’ll make your way to your city-centre hotel, the delightful Loden, whose designer interiors, spa, sauna and rooftop bar ensure an indulgent stay. You’ll have two nights here, affording plenty of time to explore a city whose highlights range from sprawling parklands to neighbourhoods bustling with boutiques and bistros. Perhaps take a cruise out from the harbour to search for whales and dolphins, explore the city’s galleries and museums or indulge in a food scene that’s constantly rated as one of the world’s best.

Fly from Vancouver to the Whitehorse with Air North to begin your Northern Lights adventure. After arriving in Whitehorse, you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to your downtown hotel for an informative meeting and fitting of winter clothing. In the later afternoon, there will be time for relaxing, shopping and enjoying dinner on your own, then later this evening depart for your first night of Northern Lights viewing. Guests will be transferred just outside the city to a cozy, heated cabin or wall tent where hot drinks and snacks will be waiting.

Stay: Superior Grade hotel, Whitehorse

Sleep in this morning and enjoy breakfast at leisure, then meet in the hotel lobby to depart for your Whitehorse city tour. Featuring Main Street, the Train Depot of the White Pass and Yukon Route, Yukon Visitor Information Centre, Log Skyscraper, Log Church, Sternwheeler SS Klondike, Fish ladder, Schwatka Lake and residential areas, it will give you a nice overview of Whitehorse to help you feel at home for the rest of your trip. Returning in the afternoon for free time and dinner at leisure, your second night of Aurora viewing will commence later in the evening. Once again, hot drinks and snacks will be provided in the warm up tent, where you can enjoy the roaring fire and share stories with fellow travellers

Transfer back to Whitehorse this morning and board a flight south to Vancouver, checking into the Loden for an overnight stay. Take the chance to explore further, perhaps heading to the Gastown district, Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood, where street-food stalls and one-of-a-kind galleries showcase the city at its eclectic best.

After a morning at leisure, board an overnight flight to the UK, arriving on day eight.
