Astronomy Holidays

The cosmos, up close. Flights and all, sorted.

National Holidays runs great-value astronomy holidays to some of the best places on earth to look up, with flights, transfers and the trip all taken care of.

There's nothing quite like a properly dark sky. The Northern Lights rippling overhead, a solar eclipse turning day to dusk, or the Milky Way blazing in a way you'll never see from home. Our astronomy holidays take you to the places where the night sky really puts on a show.

At National Holidays, we sort the flights, the transfers and the hotels, and on selected trips an expert astronomer travels with you to help make sense of what you're seeing. You just bring a sense of wonder and maybe a warm coat.

Northern Lights and Dark Sky Holidays with National Holidays

Our astronomy holidays head to the destinations astronomers dream about. Iceland is the star of the show, with its long dark nights offering some of the best Northern Lights viewing anywhere, and selected trips accompanied by an expert astronomer to guide your stargazing. Further afield, you can witness a total solar eclipse on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, or enjoy the famously clear dark skies and astrophotography conditions of Tenerife.

These are flight-inclusive holidays, with return flights, transfers and hotel accommodation all included, so the whole trip is sorted from the moment you reach the airport. For more of our flight-inclusive breaks to destinations further afield, take a look at our holidays by air. You'll see exactly what's included on each astronomy holiday before you book.
