Introduction

The voyage begins in Bergen and after making several brief calls along the unspoilt coastline, heads across the open sea to the delightful Art Nouveau town of Ålesund.

Trondheim, Norway’s former ancient capital city is the next major stop and is a complete contrast with its wooden buildings, including the impressive 18th century Stiftsgården Palace, brightly painted wharves and warehouses and the 14th century Nidaros Cathedral.

Crossing the Arctic Circle is an event to celebrate before approaching the mystical Lofoten Islands and their ’capital’ town, Svolvær. The Lofoten Islands have long captivated writers and artists alike with their grandeur and beauty.   The voyage continues to Tromsø with its magnificent Arctic Cathedral.

There is the opportunity to extend your stay in either Bergen or Tromsø (or both).  Bergen is Norway’s second city and has a charming harbour overlooked by beautiful Hanseatic buildings, now housing shops, restaurants, bars and coffee shops.  Tromsø is the starting point for so many polar expeditions and offers numerous exciting winter activity possibilities.
