Norway : Nordlys Northern lights cruise - Bergen - Tromso

ACROSS THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

We begin our Nordlys Northern lights voyage in Bergen, birthplace of Edvard Grieg, and as we set sail we leave everyday life behind. 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 and the 14th century Nidaros Cathedral.

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.

LONGER STAYS.
To increase the chances of seeing the Northern Lights and soak up Tromsø’s captivating atmosphere, we recommend an extra night at the end of your voyage. This would also, weather permitting; allow the possibility of joining our optional dog sledging excursion, a truly exhilarating experience.

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.
