Norway has introduced what is being described as the first night train created specifically for viewing the northern lights. The special rail cars feature glass walls and ceilings, giving passengers wide, uninterrupted views of the Arctic night sky.

The carriages use soft, low-impact lighting to help preserve night vision, and the reclining seats make the experience feel similar to an onboard observatory.

This service operates during the peak aurora months, offering travelers an eco-friendly way to enjoy one of the region’s most iconic natural displays turning the Northern Lights into a scenic journey rather than something seen from afar.
