Welcome to
The Artisan Travel Company

The Aurora Zone is the UK's only holiday brand solely dedicated to sharing Mother Nature's greatest wonder and importantly, we were the first. Nobody is as passionate about the Aurora Borealis as we are! No one can ever guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights but if they are top of your bucket list, then you're giving yourself the very best chance by starting right here. We absolutely love Northern Scandinavia! Our team have visited pretty much every hotel within the Auroral Zone. We are very particular about where we choose to operate holidays and every one of our destinations has been thoroughly vetted to ensure they will do everything they can to give you the best possible holiday, in the best possible destinations to view the Northern Lights. Our range of innovate and exciting accommodations mean we have something to suit every budget and wish list - from glass-roofed Aurora Cabins or a cosy log cabin to a night in a snow or ice hotel. Together with our local partners we have carefully combined nights of Aurora hunting with unforgettable daytime activities such as dog sledding and snowmobiling.

We have been providing holidays for over 15 years and throughout that time the word "experience" has been at the heart of everything we do. We started with family activity holidays because we wanted to enjoy memorable times with our own kids rather than lie by a pool for two weeks roasting under a burning Mediterranean sun. A while later, we ventured into Lapland creating winter activity and adventure holidays in a part of the world that was still largely overlooked by the travelling public. In 2011, we took these winter holidays to a whole new level by creating the UK's first ever company dedicated solely to Northern Lights holidays. All the while, we were meeting local tourism experts, learning about the destinations and creating ever more exciting and, to our great delight, award-winning itineraries. It is these years of experience in the travel industry that led to us establishing Artisan Travel. Firstly, it occurred to us that after all this time, we know our clients pretty well and have a very good idea of what it is that they want from a holiday. Secondly, we have developed an enviable network of local suppliers and tourism experts who know their own countries far, far better than we ever could. Essentially, we have taken what we know about our clients' holiday wishes and, in close consultation with our local partners, we have handcrafted itineraries that we believe illustrate the very best of each destination.

Founded in 1994, Travel Editions was created to offer cultural short breaks and extended tours designed for “travellers” rather than “tourists,” with thoughtfully crafted itineraries not typically found on the high street. Our loyal, returning customers reflect the success of this philosophy, and today we are one of the UK’s leading independent specialist escorted tour operators. We focus on well-organised, enriching group tours for like-minded individuals, combining the benefits of group travel with a personal approach. With more than 30 years of experience, we provide expert planning, attentive customer service and support whenever needed, all while maintaining excellent value. From your first call or website visit, our small, friendly team is on hand to ensure your holiday runs smoothly, with real people answering your queries. Each tour is overseen by an experienced tour manager, helping create a cohesive group experience and a memorable, seamless journey.
