Cruise Overview

Norway cruise – Ultimate Norway – Arctic Expedition under the Northern Lights

Flexible-itinerary Arctic Norway expedition during the ‘winter wonderland’ season – the best time to see the Northern Lights and enjoy winter activities.

All-inclusive adventure, with activities tailored to seasonal light levels including hiking, kayaking, nature landings in small expedition boats, community visits, fishing, snowshoeing and whale spotting. 

Three unique and bespoke experiences: Day to Dusk – Flames and Flavours; Nordic Sauna and Polar Plunge; and Into the Night – Dinner at the Museum.

On Expedition in an Arctic Winter Wonderland 

Setting out from Tromsø,  explore four spectacular regions during the enchanting winter season between November and March. As we spend an exciting week witnessing the glacial majesty of the Lyngen Alps, the dramatic beauty of the Lofoten Islands, the forested mountains of Vesterålen and the serenity of Senja, you’ll see snow-frosted mountains, deep blue fjords, charming fishing villages and – with luck – the ethereal Northern Lights. From December to early January, days can be fully dark in the north, making it a magical time to enjoy a cosy Scandinavian experience.  

Set a Course for Adventure with the True Norway Experts 

We’ve been sailing Norway’s coast since 1896, and nobody knows the region like we do. Using our expertise and with a flexible itinerary, we’ll head out in our small expedition boats to the best and most beautiful islands and beaches. Here you’ll enjoy activities such as snowshoeing, hiking and kayaking. What’s more, three unique and bespoke adventures mean you’ll experience a beach bonfire under the stars, a Nordic sauna and polar plunge, and an after-hours heritage dinner at a museum reserved exclusively for us.
