    Today, you'll get to see more of Stockholm on a private four-hour guided tour of the city. The tour will take us past Stockholm's main highlights by motorcoach, including a walking tour of the old town or Gamla stan in Swedish. We'll also visit the City Hall, one of Stockholm's most iconic buildings.

The city tour ends at your hotel, at which point you'll have some time at your leisure. A motorcoach will then pick us up from the hotel and bring us to the ferry terminal. Board Tallink Silja ferry bound for Helsinki, via the Aland Islands at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia.

    Enjoy a buffet breakfast aboard the ferry before we arrive in Helsinki. After disembarking, we'll meet with a local English-speaking guide and board a private motorcoach for a three-hour tour of Helsinki. You'll be shown the highlights of the city, including the spectacular Temppeliaukio Church. Built into the bedrock of the city in 1969, this iconic structure is often called the 'Church of Rock'. You'll also get to see the Sibelius Monument, an impressive sculpture dedicated to the late Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius. Found in Sibelius Park, this imposing structure is made of over 600 hollow steel pipes welded together to create an abstract, wavy form. The tour ends at your Helsinki hotel for check-in. Spend the afternoon exploring more of the city at your leisure, and discover the many hidden gems dotted around the center, such as Senate Square and Helsinki Cathedral. ...

    After breakfast at your hotel in Helsinki, we'll make our way to the train station next door in time for our departure to Rovaniemi. Reputed to be the home of Santa Claus, our destination is known for its Arctic scenery and dense forests. At this time of year however, the area is unrecognizable, with its white fields and snow-capped trees replaced by lush greenery lit by the soft glow of the never-ending Midnight Sun. We'll spend almost the whole day traveling north by train. Gaze out the window and admire the Scandinavian wilderness as it rushes by us - you won't want to miss a moment. Our journey will take us across the Arctic Circle, to the far north of Finland. On arrival, a private motorcoach will transfer you from the railway station to another hotel for check-in. You'll be free to use the rest of the afternoon and evening however you like. Why not enjoy a dinner at Sky Kitchen & View Restaurant with the Midnight Sun still shining high above. ...

Here in the Arctic, you can see herds of reindeer and even meet the jolly bearded man himself - looking suitably relaxed until the winter. We'll continue our journey north and make a quick stop in Sodankyla, where you can admire the facade of the Sodankyla Old Church. Built in 1689, this is one of Finland's oldest wooden churches. Enjoy some lunch and free time before we continue to Saariselka. Arriving at the Midnight Sun Village in Saariselka, you'll be wowed at your accommodation. For the next two nights, you'll be staying in your very own Midnight Sun cabin, where you can enjoy the Arctic summer view through the 360-degree glass roof. ...

    • Saariselka, Finland
    You'll have the morning to spend at leisure. Relax and take in the tranquil surroundings, or join one of the optional excursions, such as a safari on your own electric fat bike. Enjoy an included lunch at the hotel before setting off for an excitement-filled afternoon. As part of today's included activity, you'll get to meet several friendly Siberian huskies. Have one of these energetic dogs accompany you on a hike through the wilderness, tied to a waist belt. Learn about Arctic wildlife and plants from your guide as you follow the scenic trail. Pick and eat fresh berries along the way, take a drink straight from a mountain stream, and lose yourself in the pristine nature around you. The route includes a moderate climb, so this activity is recommended for fairly confident hikers. Enjoy dinner at the hotel followed by a Midnight Sun Photography Expedition. We'll make a photo stop at the quiet, picturesque Lake Inari, which was believed by ancient Laplanders to be the home of Ukko the Overgod. Then, we'll continue to a wilderness camp on the lake shore, where we'll enjoy a warm drink and prepare a traditional Lapland midnight snack while waiting for the sun to near the horizon. ...

There, we'll explore the newly renovated SIIDA museum and take a guided tour of the open-air exhibition. This museum houses exhibits and artefacts that document the rich culture of the Finnish Sami. We'll have lunch at the museum restaurant before continuing north and crossing the border into Norway, finally arriving at Kirkenes in the afternoon. Just a few miles from the border, Kirkenes was a strategic location during WWII and has a number of WWII museums and monuments today which chronicle that era. The waters around Kirkenes also teem with king crab, a local delicacy and important source of livelihood for those living in this frontier town. You'll check into your hotel in Kirkenes in the evening in time for dinner. ...

    Breakfast at the hotel will be followed by our morning visit to the Snowhotel Kirkenes 365. This is the first ever hotel completely made of snow and ice. Here, you'll enter a real life winter wonderland, even in the middle of summer. Your visit includes a guided tour of the Snowhotel along with a welcome drink. Make sure to visit the resident huskies and reindeer - the excited squeaks of the pups will surely melt your heart. At the end of the visit, you'll transfer from your hotel to the pier to board your ship. The ship will depart from here. Please note that no porterage service is available at Kirkenes pier, and the tour manager leaves the group after embarkation. After boarding, we'll prepare for our sea voyage. Take some time to get used to your new nautical home and to find your sea legs. Settle into your cabin for the night and get ready to see the famously beautiful Norwegian coast. ...

    We make stops at Mehamn and Kjollefjord during the night, before early morning visits to Honningsvag and Havoysund. In the early afternoon, you'll spend time in Hammerfest, once the northernmost town in the world until Svalbard's Longyearbyen claimed the title. Check out the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Meridian Column, shop for souvenirs at the Polar Bear Society, or take the path behind the town to the viewpoint on Mount Salen. We'll continue cruising Norway's coastline south to Oksfjord and then to Skjervoy, a town surrounded by stunning mountain peaks. Hurtigruten's been docking at this vital fishing port since 1896. As we make our way to Tromso, you might catch a glimpse of the Lyngen Alps, which boast some of the highest peaks in all of Norway. We'll dock at Tromso just before midnight, and we'll stay in port for a couple of hours. If you're feeling energized by the 24-hour daylight, why not take a stroll around the city under the Midnight Sun - you might be surprised at how busy it is. As part of an optional excursion, you can take a midnight boat ride around the city or experience a candlelit classical concert at the iconic Arctic Cathedral. ...

    • Cruising Trollfjord

    Today, you'll be exploring the archipelagos of Lofoten and Vesteralen, real highlights of our Norway scenic route. After Finnsnes early in the morning, the ship calls at Harstad, where you can join one of the classic optional excursions for "A Taste of Vesteralen". Discover history, beautiful scenery, and cultural heritage sites on this tour, then rejoin the ship further south at Sortland. Those who stay on the ship will experience our passage through the Risoyrenna, a shallow channel built for our ships in the 1920s. Prepare for some amazing scenery as we sail through the world-famous islands of Lofoten and Vesteralen. Lofoten is known for its natural beauty, steep mountains, wilderness, and picturesque fishing villages. Our daylight route through the region is the voyage highlight for many of our guests. After a short stop at the tiny village of Risoyhamn, we continue to Stokmarknes, where the Hurtigruten Coastal Express began more than 125 years ago. You may wish to visit the Hurtigrutemuseet here. Continuing south, it'll look like we're headed straight into a mountain, but don't worry, we're in fact sailing through a passage into the narrow Raftsund, flanked by peaks rising 1,000 meters out of the sea. We now arrive at the amazing Trollfjord. If conditions allow, we'll sail between sheer cliffs that seem close enough to reach out and touch. It's an unforgettable experience! Next, we arrive in Svolvaer, where you can choose from several optional excursions or just relax in town at one of many cafes, pubs, and restaurants. ...

    • Nesna, Norway, Norway
    • Sandnessjoen, Norway
    • Bronnoysund, Norway
    Crossing the Arctic Circle is an important 'rite of passage', and today, we'll celebrate the occasion on deck with a taste of Arctic tradition - a spoonful of cod liver oil. Leaving the polar region means saying goodbye to the Midnight Sun, but you'll still see incredibly long days throughout the rest of the summer voyage. Sailing along the Helgeland coast, you'll find the strange mountain, Torghatten. This mountain rises 258 meters above sea level and is famous for the distinctive hole through its center. The hole is 160 meters long, 35 meters high, and 20 meters wide, and was formed during the ice age. Another highlight is sailing past the Seven Sisters mountain range. According to legend, the seven peaks were formed from seven beautiful troll sisters; when they were caught out at sunrise, they turned to stone, thus creating the seven beautiful mountaintops. Next, we make a brief stop at the idyllic trading post of Nesna before moving on to Sandnessjoen. In Bronnoysund, join an optional excursion to the Norwegian Aquaculture Centre for an informative tour and taste of fresh salmon. ...

    This morning, you'll have the opportunity to explore the historic royal city of Trondheim for a few hours. Be sure to visit the majestic Nidaros Cathedral, built over the burial site of King Olav II who reigned from 1015 to 1028. Leaving Trondheim, we'll sail past beautiful island scenery and some of Norway's smallest communities before arriving at Kristiansund and Molde. Kristiansund is regarded as Norway's 'dried cod capital' because of its long-time export of salted dry fish. Here, you can join an excursion along the Atlantic Road, a National Scenic Route. The 8-kilometer stretch of highway spans eight bridges, crosses picturesque landscapes, and is surrounded by open sea. Another interesting excursion is to the Bergtatt marble mine, which takes you inside a mountain and across an illuminated subterranean lake before serving you a meal in the mine's 'Grand Hall'. Those who remain aboard at Kristiansund will experience the ship's open sea crossing towards Molde - Norway's 'City of Roses' which, if you're there in season, is adorned with rose bushes in bloom. You can also see the distant 222 pointed peaks of the Romsdal Alps across the fjord, called 'the Molde Panorama'. ...

    Today marks the end of our Norwegian coastal cruise together, but there's still plenty to see during your last day with us. During the night, we'll call at Alesund and Torvik, and on our approach to Maloy, you might catch a glimpse of the northbound Coastal Express if you're up early enough. Before docking in Bergen, you'll have a chance to glimpse Nordfjord under the enormous Jostedal Glacier, mainland Europe's largest glacier. Here, the fjord widens to the east and forges 90 kilometers inland. We'll dock at Floro, Norway's westernmost community, in the morning. You'll have some time to take in the harbor and marina before we set off again soon after. As we leave the port, get your camera ready to snap some shots of Stabben Lighthouse, a favorite subject for photographers. As we reach our final port in the afternoon, the ship will navigate through the last islands and skerries of our Norway scenic route, and we'll sail down Hjeltefjord to arrive in Bergen, Norway's second-largest city. After saying goodbye to the captain and the crew, we'll board a private bus for a city sightseeing tour of Bergen, which includes a walking tour of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen, St Mary's Church, and Hakon's Hall. The tour ends at your hotel in Bergen, where you'll check in. The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Spend some time browsing the food stalls at the fish market, or head across to the colorful Hanseatic wharf at Bryggen for some souvenir shopping. ...

You can get stunning views of the city and the surrounding waterways from the top of Mount Floyen. A leisurely ride on the funicular railway will take you all the way to the peak. There's also the art collections and exhibits of the four KODE museums and galleries to peruse, as well as the shops, cafes, and restaurants around Market Square. Reconvene in the evening to enjoy a farewell feast at a local restaurant, perhaps Bryggeloftet & Stuene, located in the historic Bryggen area. ...
