Chase the Aurora Borealis and walk through Tsarist history on this handcrafted 5 Nights/6 Days Russia tour, combining the Arctic wilderness of Murmansk with the imperial grandeur of Moscow. The journey opens above the Arctic Circle in Murmansk, where travellers spend a day immersed in Sami indigenous culture — visiting a traditional Sami village, meeting reindeer, elk and husky foxes, and hand-feeding deer — followed by a Murmansk city tour. The adventure peaks with a night in a transparent Igloo hotel, purpose-built for unobstructed Northern Lights viewing, preceded by the Teriberka Tour to the dramatic Dragon Egg Beach and a frozen waterfall — one of the most photographed Arctic coastal landscapes in Russia.
From the Arctic, the trip transfers to Moscow, where a full 6-hour guided city tour covers the Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, Park Zaryadye, Alexander Garden, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, Nikolskaya Street, GUM Mall, and the iconic Moscow Metro art stations. Throughout the trip, guests are supported by a private English-speaking driver-cum-guide, private airport/train transfers, and meet-and-greet service — making this an ideal itinerary for couples, honeymooners, and small groups seeking a rare mix of Arctic adventure and European-Russian heritage in a single trip.
