Voyage in search of the Northern Lights

Voyage in search of the spectacular Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights and discover the haunting winter landscape as you sail along the Norwegian coastline and across the Arctic Circle. The Northern Lights is one of nature’s wonders - an atmospheric display of blue, green and pink light dancing across the sky that has become a ‘must do’ for so many travellers. You will visit Narvik, Alta and Tromsø which are among the best places in Norway to witness this phenomenon. There is also the opportunity to see Polar wildlife and perhaps visit the unique Igloo Hotel.

Sail to historic Stavanger, one of Norway’s oldest towns, and Ålesund, an art nouveau town of gables and turrets. Crossing the Arctic Circle, view Svartisen Glacier before reaching Narvik which offers the opportunity to ascend Mount Fagernes by cable car or visit the fascinating Polar Zoo. Tonight, there may be the possibility of viewing the spectacular Aurora Borealis, a curtain of purples, blues and greens rippling across the night sky. An overnight stay in Alta offers an extensive range of optional shore excursions and gives a further opportunity to perhaps witness the breathtaking phenomenon of the Northern Lights. Tromsø is known as the ‘Gateway to the Arctic’ with its Polar Museum, Wilderness Centre and War Museum and precedes a call at Åndalsnes which lies amid spectacular mountain scenery in the beautiful Romsdalsfjord. Finally, in the Hanseatic city of Bergen, discover the historic Bryggen district of restored wooden warehouses and enticing gift shops. A delightful end to an amazing experience.
