Cruising the Antarctic Peninsula
- Polar Cruises
Be prepared to be dazzled. The abundance of wildlife here is truly extraordinary including five seal species, massive penguin rookeries of Gentoo, Adélies and Chinstraps.
Northern Light Cruise
Spotting the dancing lights, known as Aurora Borealis, is a bucket list item for many travellers. From the end of September until the beginning of April is the best time to spot it. Especially during the long winter days in December and January you are more likely to spot the dancing lights. As you might know, it is a nature phenomenon, therefore it is never guaranteed that it is visible.
The expedition cruise takes you through the majestic fjords of northern Norway. The snowy mountain peaks rise up from the fjords, which makes for a breathtaking scenery.
NOTE:
We are always ready to alter plans accordingly to take advantage of light, weather, wildlife sightings and other one-of-a-kind opportunities which can vary unpredictably from day to day.
We cannot guarantee that all activities and shore landings will take place or that they will include all the events we’ve outlined in advance. Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy—and excitement—of expedition-style travel, and a measure of flexibility is something all of us must bring along on the voyage.

Arrival in Tromsø and boarding your 'home away from home'

The city is surrounded by mountains and fjords and world's capital for Northern Light observations!
Visit the Polar Museum for a fascinating tour through polar history. If you arrive a day earlier, you can start your Northern Light Cruise with an optional dog sled excursion or snowmobile safari.
