This summer cruise through the Norwegian fjords takes you to the northern part of Norway, deep inside the Arctic Circle.
Leave your body clock at home; it simply won’t work here as day and night become one.
This relaxing summer cruise takes your from Tromsø, the capital of Arctic Norway, through the northern Norwegian fjords deep inside the Arctic Circle towards Kirkenes and the Russian border. During the summer months the sun never sets as this is the land of the midnight sun and wearing sun glasses at midnight is one of the most common yet surreal experiences. It will leave you wanting to visit more of this wonderful and fragile part of the world.
The best time to see the midnight sun is in late May, June, July and early August when the sun does not set and may simply cast a beautiful yellow light across the night sky.
During your cruise there are several optional excursions, including breakfast at the North Cape and a great sea kayaking experience in Tromsø.
There are many stops and excursions on the way and you may wish to use the cruise as a hop on / hop off service. As Scandinavian travel specialists, we can combine many of our holidays in Norway - please ask!

The journey is quite spectacular and you won't spend much time in your cabin. You must be on deck or in the panoramic lounges to witness this jaw-dropping scenery. Click on the photo to the left to see the typical cabins on board.
You are generally accommodated in an unspecified outside cabin which may have llimited views. We do recommend upgrading to a cabin with an unobstructed view.
The North Cape
Crossing the 71st parallel is something few can claim! This is the northern most point of continental Europe and the county of Finnmark. The North Cape rises more than a thousand feet from the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. At the North Cape Hall there is a modern visitors centre showing a film about the local culture and North Cape. There is also a souvenir shop and café. Step outside and brace yourself against the winds as you stand beside the famous North Cape globe.
Price £128pp.

Hammerfest has a long energy history, which goes back to 1891. Hammerfest was the first town in northern Europe to get electric street lighting produced from water power. You will also learn about the Sami history and culture and perhaps spot some reindeer on the way.
