ITINERARY:

Day 1: Arrive in Tromsø

Welcome to Tromsø, the Gateway to the Arctic! Meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers in this vibrant northern city, surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes. With a rich cultural scene and the chance to witness the Northern Lights, your adventure begins in style.

Day 2: Explore Tromsø

Though the sun won’t rise today, there’s plenty to get up for! Board a hybrid-electric boat to glide through the Arctic fjords, taking in panoramic views and keeping an eye out for seals—and, if you're lucky, humpback whales. For a deeper cultural experience, opt for a visit to a Sámi camp, where you’ll warm up in a traditional lavvo-hut, feed reindeer, and learn about the indigenous Sámi way of life.

Day 3: Tromsø & Overnight Cruise

Enjoy a free morning to soak in the fresh Arctic air. Take the cable car to Mount Storsteinen for sweeping city views or, for the adventurous, climb the Sherpa staircase’s 1,200 stone steps. If you're up for more excitement, try snowshoeing or snowmobiling before boarding your overnight cruise.

Day 4: Cruise to Honningsvåg

Wake up to the Arctic waters as your ship sails through Magerøysund. Stop briefly in Hammerfest before arriving in Honningsvåg, the gateway to the North Cape. Weather permitting, join an excursion to the northernmost point of Europe, just 2,000 km from the North Pole. As the journey continues along Lapland’s rugged coastline, keep an eye out for the stunning Finnkjerka rock formation and—if luck is on your side—the Northern Lights.

Day 5: Cruise to Kirkenes

Your Arctic voyage reaches its northernmost stop: Kirkenes. Situated further east than Istanbul, this unique town sits near the Russian border, with signage in both Norwegian and Russian.

Day 6: Return to Tromsø

Bundle up one last time as you catch a flight back to Tromsø. Settle in for a relaxing evening in the Arctic capital before your journey comes to an end.

Day 7: Farewell, Tromsø

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye. With hearts full of memories, bid farewell the Norwegian way—"Sees!" (See you soon!).
