Norway & Finland Sea-Land Aurora Happiness Journey

In 2010, Ouya Travel sparked a craze for Northern Lights tours in Scandinavia, and last year introduced a brand-new Northern Lights product line: “Norwegian Legend Cruise x Winter Dream Finland – Sea-Land Aurora Happiness Tour 10 Days.” This year, we’re once again inviting adventure-loving travelers to board a cruise and chase the aurora.

Head to Finland to visit Santa Claus’s hometown, enjoy romantic snowy activities such as ice fishing on the lake and reindeer sleigh rides, fulfilling your fairy-tale dreams. At night, take an Aurora bus for a nighttime tour, and stay guaranteed at double Aurora-view accommodations—including a glass-domed Aurora wooden cabin villa and a standalone glass ocean-view lodging—where you can continue waiting for the magical aurora from the comfort of your room.

Later, in Kjøllefjord, Norway, embark on an unprecedented unique experience: catch and eat king crabs fresh from the sled, explore the Ice Castle Hotel, and conclude with a 2-day, 1-night world-exclusive fjord coastline Aurora cruise aboard the legendary Hurtigruten ship. The journey winds through the twisting fjord waterways, traveling south from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic—the most beautiful sea voyage in the world—while also showcasing Norway’s magnificent fjord scenery. When the aurora appears at night, the captain will announce it so you can enjoy the view without braving the cold.

Husky Safaris, Ice Swimming, and Ice Fishing: Finland’s Arctic Trio

Finland, the Land of a Thousand Lakes, boasts some of the cleanest air in the world, with beautiful lakes and forests right at your doorstep. In 2017, the world’s largest private travel guide, Lonely Planet, ranked Finland among the top three best travel destinations. Why not take advantage of the 2018 Lunar New Year holiday to visit Finland? Meet Santa Claus, witness the Northern Lights, and experience a variety of unique snow activities.

The “Winter Finland (Including Sweden) 10-Day” itinerary, which won the 2014 Gold Quality Travel Award, departs on Little New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. It guarantees stays in a glass-domed Aurora wooden cabin villa, an Arctic treehouse hotel, and a sea-facing cabin on the Baltic luxury cruise ship MS Silja.

Iceland: Where Ice and Fire Coexist, and Aurora Awaits

Iceland, isolated in the North Atlantic, is home to both glaciers and volcanoes, creating a spectacular coexistence of ice and fire. The southern coast of Iceland features diverse and unique geological landscapes, making it a microcosm of Iceland’s essence. Ouya Travel’s “Iceland Aurora South Coast Exploration 10-Day” tour, departing on New Year’s Eve, will take you to Europe’s largest and winter-only Vatnajökull Glacier “Blue Ice Cave,” as well as the Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon—a filming location for Hollywood blockbusters like Tomb Raider, 007: Tomorrow Never Dies, and 007: The World Is Not Enough—to admire its one-of-a-kind scenery. Together, you’ll wait for the breathtaking auroras that can appear anywhere in the country. This enriching journey is absolutely worth traveling halfway around the world for.

The itinerary guarantees stays at Iceland’s top-design lodgings and the Blue Lagoon Spa Boutique Hotel, allowing you to enjoy exclusive access to the Blue Lagoon hot springs area without the crowds. You may even get the chance to soak in the hot springs while watching Earth’s most spectacular light show, experiencing ultimate romance. Local specialty meals include a Blue Lagoon hot spring special, grilled Icelandic langoustines, and dining at the HARPA Iceland Concert Hall viewpoint restaurant. Pure ingredients paired with Nordic-inspired plating delight both your eyes and taste buds.

Switzerland: A Silver Tribute to Its Four Famous Peaks

The homeland of mountains, Switzerland, boasts majestic peaks, vast glaciers, and pristine lakes. In this fairytale-like Alpine city, you’ll find four famous peaks: Pilatus Mountain, the “backyard paradise” of the Swiss; the Jungfrau, known as the “Roof of Europe”; Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe; and the Matterhorn, hailed as the most beautiful mountain in the Alps. These are symbols the Swiss are most proud of and must-visit destinations for adventure seekers.

Ouya Travel’s Lunar New Year-exclusive “Switzerland In-Depth Four Famous Peaks Double Railway 10-Day” tour departs on the fourth day of the New Year. It includes rides on various mountain trains such as the GoldenPass panoramic train, the Glacier Express, and cogwheel trains for a pilgrimage to the four famous peaks—a must for railway enthusiasts. You’ll also enjoy scenic boat cruises on Lake Lucerne and Lake Lugano, taking in Switzerland’s picturesque beauty. Additionally, special arrangements include dining at Michelin-recommended restaurants and the historic Bern Century Cellar Barn Restaurant. This is a one-time-only group tour—invite yourself to a slow, happy winter journey through Switzerland’s silver-white world, with three nights at a 5-star hotel for a moment of leisure.

▲ The “Swiss Sacred Mountain,” the “Lone Giant,” and the “Glacier Paradise” are all nicknames for the Matterhorn. Its distinctive pyramid shape is highly recognizable, giving it a sense of standing apart from the world. Ride Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel railway to the observation deck, where you may spot Switzerland’s highest peak, the Dufourspitze, and the third-longest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier.
