Midnight Sun by Private Charter Flight: Luxury Escapes Exclusive 16-Day Tour Across 4 Nordic Countries & Scotland w. Return International Flights
Above the Arctic Circle in July, the sun doesn’t set – not at midnight, not at 3am, not at all. It’s a spectacular phenomenon and this once-in-a-lifetime itinerary is built around it.
This journey exists because a private aircraft makes it possible. This chartered flight – used only by your group – connects countries that no commercial route joins in this sequence or at this pace: Stockholm, Finnish Lapland, the Lofoten Islands, Iceland and Edinburgh. 16 days in the Midnight Sun season with return international Lufthansa flights from Australia included from the start.
It’s one of the most extraordinary times to travel anywhere on Earth – landscapes that are dramatic at noon become otherworldly at night when the light never fully retreats. You can have dinner outside in full golden light or walk at midnight and still cast a shadow.
Begin in Stockholm with a stay at the Grand Hôtel Stockholm (recently named the Best Hotel in Scandinavia at the 2025 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards) and dinner at Stadshuskällaren, home of the Nobel Prize banquet. Sleep under a glass roof in Finnish Lapland as the Midnight Sun glows above you. Reach Lofoten – where no commercial route connects like this – for a polar plunge (if you dare) and a floating sauna in the fjord. Discover Iceland’s geothermal landscape and dine on a meal cooked by the earth. Close the journey at a 13th-century castle by the Firth of Forth after three nights at The Caledonian – one of Edinburgh’s most storied addresses.
Between every destination, fly on your own aircraft – a B737-300 corporate configuration, one of only two in the world, with 37-inch seat pitch and maximum 90 guests aboard. On the ground, touring groups split to a maximum of 30 – small enough that a local guide can take you somewhere a larger group simply can’t go. Enjoy private check-in, onboard catering, dedicated tour directors, a doctor and local guides travelling with you throughout.
