F.A.Q.


WHAT TIME IS THE CHECK IN TO THE HOTEL?

Check in at your hotel will not be until 3pm at the earliest.

  • If you arrive early, or your room is not yet ready for you to check in when you arrive, you may be able to leave your bags with the front desk and they will keep them securely held behind the desk while you go out and eat or explore the city until your room is ready.




IS BREAKFAST INCLUDED?

Yes.

The serving times vary by hotel (they will tell you at check-in), but usually breakfast is served starting at 6:30am.




where will I go through customs? 

You will go through customs in the first Schengen country that you enter.

When you return to the USA you'll go through customs wherever your first point of entry is into the USA.




Is it better to use cash or card in Norway?

Debit and credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, and many places also accept payment by phone, like Google Pay and Apple Pay. But it is still a good idea to have a bit of cash on you for small purchases. Foreign currency is rarely accepted, so you need Norwegian currency to get by.




Should I exchange money before I travel to Norway?

Having some Norwegian krone cash on hand can be helpful.

Credit unions and banks will exchange your dollars into a foreign currency before and after your trip when you have a checking or savings account with them. (Just remember that when you return home, the banks will not accept any coins… only paper bills.)

You will need to order Norwegian Kroner from your bank at least 2-3 weeks prior to your departure.

If you need cash while you’re traveling, we recommend drawing some from an ATM once you've arrived in the foreign country.
Keep in mind, unless you’re using a prepaid multi-currency card like Revolut or a credit card with no foreign transaction fees, you could incur currency exchange fees.


What is the tipping etiquette in Scandinavia?

In Scandinavia, tipping etiquette is modest compared to many other regions.

Norway:
In Norway, service charge is typically included in the bill, thus tipping is not expected but appreciated for exceptional service – usually rounding up the bill suffices.

Overall, while tipping isn't obligatory, it's appreciated as a token of satisfaction with the service provided.


More details about the northern lights tour:

This adventure includes:

  • Knowledgeable and dedicated English-speaking Northern Lights guide

  • Transport by comfortable vehicle

  • Snacks and Warm drinks

  • Thermal Suit

  • Boots

  • Tripods for use during the tour

  • Northern Lights photos from the tour (provided the next day)

To prepare for the tour, here are some recommendations:

  1. Clothing: While we provide thermal suits and boots, it’s important to wear warm, comfortable layers underneath. Thermal undergarments, wool or fleece layers, a good winter jacket, a hat, scarf, and insulated gloves are essential. Ensure they bring good-quality wool socks, as it can get extremely cold.

  2. What to Bring:

    • ID/Passport: Please make sure they carry identification, as it might be needed during the tour.

    • Water Bottle: Hot drinks will be provided, but a bottle of water is useful.

    • Camera/Smartphone: For those who enjoy photography, we offer tripods and can help set up their camera for capturing the Northern Lights.

    Duration and Comfort: The tour typically lasts 6–9 hours, depending on weather conditions. They may spend some time outdoors, so dressing warmly and preparing for varying temperatures is key.


Can I pay by Zelle?

Yes!

We started taking Zelle payments last month and we found this to be a fast and FREE way to pay!
For those who don’t know what Zelle is… it is very much like a wire transfer (but it is not a wire transfer).

Everyone’s bank is different, though, so you may want to call/go in to your local bank and ask to have the maximum amount available to transfer every day.

Example: Some banks only allow $500/day transfer. Other banks will allow $1200/day.

Always be careful when making payments through Zelle to people that you do not know. There is no protection guarantee provided and you cannot reverse the fee.

The Pros for using Zelle:

  • It is FREE (no processing fees)!

  • It is instantaneous (funds will go directly to Zone Travel- so this is the absolute fastest way to make a payment)

The Cons for using Zelle:

  • Every bank is different when it comes to maximum amount available to be transferred every day. So, this may mean that you need to make multiple payments to Zone Travel, multiple days in a row.

  • It does require an app download onto your phone, and you need to set up your account with your bank information.

Can I pay by check?

Yes!

If you would like to avoid the 4% credit card processing fees, you may pay by check.
It is very important that you pay in advance of the deadlines and allow ample time for delivery.

Payments received after the deadline could result in cancelation of your reservation or increased fees.

There are two ways to pay by check:

  • Mail the check

  • Deposit directly at a local branch
