Day 1: Bergen

Your 8-day Arctic Wonders voyage starts in Bergen, a city surrounded by its famed seven mountains. Before departure you may wish to explore this cultural gateway to the fjords by hiking up the famous Mount Fløien or exploring the city by segway.

Day 2: Florø – Molde

If you wake up early the next day you have the chance to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Nordfjord, followed by a delicious breakfast. As we sail past the West Cape, we experience a rare venture into open sea.

Day 3: Kristiansund – Trondheim – Rørvik

Today you wake up in beautiful Trondheim. The architecture and surroundings in Trondheim create a beautiful and almost mythical setting for any outing, whether you prefer a guided tour of the Nidaros Cathedral, kayaking on the river Nid and into the city’s smaller channels, or a casual walk or by bicycle through the Bakkland district.

Day 4: Brønnøysund – Svolvær

The Arctic Circle marks the border to the Arctic region. During winter, being above this degree of latitude provides the best chances of experiencing the Northern Lights. We continue sailing along the beautiful coast of Helgeland up to Bodø. Later this afternoon the sight of the 1,000m high Lofoten Wall will appear on the horizon.

Day 5: Stokmarknes – Tromsø – Skjervøy

A relaxing morning on board precedes your arrival in Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic. In winter you can complete your stay in Tromsø with a thrilling husky dog sledge ride. After an exhilarating day in Tromsø, we continue our northbound journey.

Day 6: Øksfjord – Berlevåg

Enjoy the magnificent sub-Arctic landscape as we cross the 71st parallel on our journey towards the North Cape, the northernmost point on the continent. After brief early stops in Hammerfest and Havøysund we arrive in Honningsvåg, the gateway to the spectacular North Cape.

Day 7: Båtsfjord – Kirkenes

Early birds can see Vadsø and just after breakfast we arrive in Kirkenes, putting us at 30° East, further east than Istanbul and St. Petersburg. We transfer you to the Snowhotel in Kirkenes for an amazing overnight experience under the Arctic sky.

Day 8: Kirkenes

After spending the night wrapper up warm in a snow suite at the Snowhotel in Kirkenes, the eight day can be spent participating in exclusive winter excursions. These excursions include: Snowmobiling through the Arctic Landscape, Husky dog sledging or a King crab safari.
