Norway : Nordlys Northern lights cruise - Bergen - Tromso
VENTURE INTO THE ARCTIC
We begin our Northern Lights voyage in the vibrant town of Bergen, before setting sail in search of the phenomenal Aurora Borealis. After making several brief calls along the unspoilt coastline, the ship heads across the open sea to the delightful Art Nouveau town of Ålesund.
Trondheim, Norway’s former capital city and our next major stop, is a complete contrast with its wooden buildings, brightly painted wharves and warehouses. The voyage ends in Tromsø, where we transfer for our international flights.
There is a buzz of anticipation when your Norwegian Cruise crosses the Arctic Circle and later in the day the grandeur of the legendary Lofoten Islands is revealed. At Svolvær, there is time for an after dinner stroll, perhaps to visit the world’s first Ice Gallery ‘Magic Ice’, which illustrates tantalising tales about the islands and their people, with dramatically lit ice sculptures and music. The voyage ends in Tromsø, where we transfer for our international flights.
Please note that we are restricted for space and not all prices and departure airports are available on the website. Please call us on 0845 072 0090 for more information.
