Explore the ARCTIC CIRCLE in summer or winter

Experience the spectacula­r Northern Lights or the unforgetta­ble midnight sun on this six-day cruise

-

Winter above the Arctic Circle is all about the Northern Lights and, in summer, the focus switches to the phenomenon of the midnight sun. With a variety of departure dates for this full-board, six-day cruise, you’ll get to choose which you want to experience. Travelling south, you’ll see some of Norway’s finest fjords, with their sheer cliffs, stunning waterfalls and spectacula­r landscapes, which are populated by wildlife, such as sea birds and seals.

THE BEST OF NORWAY

Your journey will begin in Kirkenes, just kilometres from the Russian border. From there, you’ll head south, visiting Lofoten’s many ports and sailing between the islands of the Helgeland coast. You can also choose from a range of optional excursions, such as dog sledding, beer tasting and crab fishing.

SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

In winter, the green and white lights that dance across the night sky are otherworld­ly. There will be plenty of chances to see them on your journey.

ENJOY THE MIDNIGHT SUN

In summer, you’ll be able to sit outside and read by the light of the sun when the clock strikes midnight, take a walk or have a sunlit midnight feast.
