Winter Magic in Norway

Day 1: Tromsø
Boarding at 5:00 pm and welcome aboard Polarfront.
Discover the ship and your living spaces over a welcome cocktail.
Departure at 6:00 pm.

Days 2 to 8: Skjervøy – In search of cetaceans
These days will be devoted to searching for and observing large cetaceans from Polarfront or its Zodiacs.
In winter, humpback whales and orcas come to feed among the islands in Skjervøy Bay, at the heart of the Lyngen Alps. Polarfront will sail through a stunning natural setting of alpine mountains and deep fjords, offering spectacular views.

Let yourself be carried through Norway’s narrowest fjord: the Trollfjord. Its name comes from the many tales and myths tied to its mysterious splendour. Just 2,000 metres long and only 100 metres wide, explore the Trollfjord by polar pedal boat or Zodiac, or take in the fjord’s steep shores from the warmth of the Norwegian hot tub or panoramic sauna.

Polarfront will call at Leknes, the central port of the Lofoten archipelago. You will visit the village of Nusfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A stop in Reine will give you an incredible vantage point over this postcard scene of the Lofoten Islands. You can then stroll through the charming village of Å, a museum village celebrating cod fishing.

This day begins with a visit to the long sandy beaches of the North. In Eggum, you will walk through a piece of Second World War history. Next, we will take you to Henningsvær, a fishing village at the tip of a peninsula. Nicknamed the “Venice of the Lofoten Islands,” Henningsvær is arguably the most captivating spot in the archipelago. Finally, you will visit the Viking Museum at Borg.

At the head of a fjord, you will reach the Svartisen ice cap, Norway’s second-largest glacier. Its deep blue blends with the green of the fjord’s waters and vegetation. The glacier is part of Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park, one of mainland Norway’s most spectacular geological formations, home to abundant wildlife including wolverine, lynx, elk and Arctic fox.

Day 9: Bodø
This is where this remarkable adventure comes to an end.
Disembarkation takes place at 9:00 am after breakfast.
