Arctic New Year’s Eve at Aurora River Camp

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Swedish Lapland with a small-group evening at Aurora River Camp, limited to a maximum of just 8 guests.

Your evening combines a fire-cooked Arctic dinner in our reserved open-air riverside shelter, a Northern Lights drive through the Kiruna winter landscape in a heated minibus, and a midnight celebration with champagne and fireworks.

Thermal overalls, insulated winter boots, gloves and warm hats are provided. After dinner, your guide follows the weather and cloud conditions in search of the best available skies, with comfortable warming breaks in the minibus between outdoor stops.

Before midnight, we return to Aurora River Camp and, when ice conditions are confirmed safe, walk onto the frozen river to count down the final seconds of the year beneath the Arctic sky.

Available only on 31 December 2026 · Maximum 8 guests · Approx. 5 hours 30 minutes

New Year’s Eve at Aurora River Camp

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in the heart of Swedish Lapland with an intimate Arctic experience at Aurora River Camp. With only 8 guests, the evening combines dinner over an open fire, a Northern Lights search and a midnight celebration beneath the Arctic sky.

Your evening begins with pickup from selected locations in Kiruna. At the camp, we provide thermal overalls, winter boots, gloves and hats before gathering around the fire in our open-air riverside shelter.

Arctic Dinner by the Fire

Enjoy a hot welcome drink while your guide prepares dinner over the fire. Choose your main course in advance:

Arctic Char

Served with crushed butter potatoes, roasted root vegetables, lemon-dill butter, pickled cucumber and fresh dill.

Reindeer

Served with crushed butter potatoes, roasted root vegetables, juniper sauce, lingonberries and crispy onions.

A vegetarian option is available on request. Dessert and hot drinks are also included.

Northern Lights Search

After dinner, we head out in our heated minibus in search of clear skies and, hopefully, the Northern Lights. The route is flexible and chosen according to the evening’s weather and cloud conditions.

Please note that Northern Lights sightings cannot be guaranteed.

– Midnight Beneath the Arctic Sky

Before midnight, we return to Aurora River Camp for a final hot drink around the fire. Shortly before midnight, we make our way onto the frozen river, when ice and weather conditions allow.

Raise a glass of champagne — or an alcohol-free alternative — and welcome 2027 as fireworks light up the Arctic night.
