You'll discover many of the city's attractions in the old town, or Altstadt, including the St. Nikolai Memorial and the historic street of Deichstrasse.

    Esbjerg, Denmark
    • Esbjerg, Denmark
    Get a taste of Denmark on the Jutland peninsula. The first stop on our journey to the Arctic is Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark's Jutland peninsula. As we approach, look out for the giant "Man Meets the Sea" statues sitting by the shore. Esbjerg is a blend of historic charm and modern Scandinavian chic, and it's easy to get around on foot. A shuttle bus will take you into the center to explore at your leisure. Treat yourself to a typical smorrebrod for lunch. You'll find Denmark's famous open-faced rye bread sandwiches irresistibly displayed in many bakery windows. After lunch, it's time to say goodbye to Denmark as we set sail for Norway.

    • Haugesund, Norway
    Step back in time at the homeland of Viking kings. As we reach Norway, we'll head for the region of Haugesund. It's known for its Viking connections, and it was here that King Harald Fairhair first united Norway into a single kingdom. From this royal seat, Norway's kings long controlled the renowned shipping route called Nordvegen, or "the way to the north", from which the country takes its name. Today, this Viking past lives on in the area's many historic sites. If conditions allow, we'll visit a recreated Viking settlement on the small island of Bukkoya, and on nearby Karmoy, you can delve deeper into Norway's Viking and maritime history at the Nordvegen History Center. ...

    Fjaerland, Norway
    • Fjaerland, Norway
    Discover how glaciers shaped the Norwegian landscape. In the morning, we plan to cruise deep into Sognefjorden, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, to the tiny hamlet of Fjaerland. Only 300 people live in this idyllic village, which has many charming old buildings and its own weaving traditions. This is also the place where Sognefjorden meets Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European continent. A visit to the Norwegian Glacier Museum is the included activity of the day. Learn why glacier ice is blue and how the fjords were formed. You can even perform a few experiments with 1,000-year-old glacier ice and watch a panoramic film about Europe's largest glacier. ...

    Follow in the footsteps of polar explorers at the gateway to the Arctic. Set in a majestic landscape, this small, cosmopolitan city has an exciting past and plenty of fascinating sights to discover. It was the base for many a historic Arctic expedition, including those of Roald Amundsen, and its position 250 miles north of the Polar Circle has led to it being called the "Gateway to the Arctic". At the Polar Museum, discover the city's exploration heritage and see the Arctic Cathedral-with its huge stained-glass window, it's one of the most striking landmarks in Tromso. You can also take the Fjellheisen cable car to the top of Storsteinen for incredible views. ...

    Spitsbergen, Norway
    • Spitsbergen, Norway
    A land of spectacular beauty. Svalbard's largest island, Spitsbergen, showcases Arctic beauty in its untouched glory; it's a wilderness of steep mountains, stark glaciers, and eerily beautiful islands. Over the next three days, you'll visit some of the world's most dramatic fjords and see glaciers preparing to calve icebergs into the sea. Each day will be different. From landings to kayaking, be ready for anything as your captain and Expedition Team decide on the best landing sites and activities based on the day's conditions. Perhaps we'll head to the snowcapped peaks of Hornsund or visit Ny-Alesund, the starting point for Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship "Norge". Now, the town is a hub for global science and climate research, and you can still see remnants of its history. If we're lucky, we might even see the elusive polar bear in its natural environment, so keep your binoculars close at hand. ...
