    • Svolvaer, Norway
    We navigate towards the Lofoten Islands, an extraordinary chain of mountains, sheltered bays, and fishing communities rising from the Norwegian Sea. The archipelago's name is believed to derive from an Old Norse word meaning 'lynx's foot', reflecting the shape of one of its islands. Arriving in Svolvaer, Lofoten's compact capital, choose an included experience that reveals the region through its landscapes, flavors or centuries-old fishing traditions. Personalize your expedition with an included 'Your Choice' experience suited to your interests and level of fitness. ...

    Reine, Lofoten, Norway, Norway
    • Reine, Lofoten, Norway, Norway
    • Leknes, Norway
    Today, we explore the landscapes and stories of western Lofoten. Reine's red rorbuer cabins, sheltered harbor, and sharply rising mountains form one of Norway's most recognizable coastal scenes, while nearby communities retain strong connections to fishing, craft, and seafaring life. Travel through a succession of narrow valleys, white-sand beaches, and fishing villages to Sund, where the local fisheries museum preserves traditional skills associated with life at sea. Meet a blacksmith whose hand-forged seabirds have become a distinctive symbol of the village. Continue across the island to the beaches of Uttakleiv and Haukland. Weather permitting, walk the coastal route between them, following a gentle trail beneath steep mountains to one of Lofoten's celebrated white-sand bays. The clear turquoise water and dramatic Arctic setting offer wonderful photographic opportunities. At the Lofotr Viking Museum in Borg, step inside a reconstructed longhouse built near the site of an important chieftain's farm. Archaeological finds, traditional crafts, and recreated interiors reveal how people lived, traded, and traveled here a thousand years ago. Complete the visit with a simple soup inspired by historic North Norwegian ingredients and prepared over an open fire. ...

    At Sea
    • At Sea
    Leaving the Norwegian coast behind, we cross the Norwegian Sea towards Svalbard. Spend time on deck scanning for whale blows and seabirds riding the air currents around the ship, or join the Expedition Team for presentations that introduce the wildlife, sea ice, history, and geology of the High Arctic. It is also a welcome opportunity to relax and share stories after our active days in northern Norway. ...

    Spitsbergen, Norway
    • Spitsbergen, Norway
    Over the next five days, Spitsbergen offers a thrilling introduction to true Arctic expedition travel. There is no fixed schedule: the Expedition Team will shape each day around weather, sea ice, wildlife, and the latest local information, choosing the strongest available opportunities for Zodiac cruising, shore landings, and guided walks. Early in the season, lingering snow and sea ice transform the fjords into striking polar landscapes. We may explore the glacier-filled west coast or sail north towards the pack-ice edge, always guided by conditions. Zodiac cruises can take us beneath sculpted glacier fronts and among drifting ice, while landings may reveal snow-fringed beaches, historic remains, and the first tundra emerging from winter. This is an important time for returning birdlife. Guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins, and little auks gather around cliffs and scree slopes to breed, while walrus and seals may be encountered near coastal haul-outs or ice. Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes leave tracks across the thawing ground. Polar bears can occur anywhere in the archipelago and, if encountered, are observed from a safe distance without influencing their behavior. If you have selected an optional activity such as kayaking, it will be on offer whenever conditions allow. Guided walks, Zodiac excursions, time on deck and the possibility of a polar plunge create an active and varied introduction to the High Arctic. ...
