Norwegian Fjords - Midnight Sun Cruise

This summer cruise through the Norwegian fjords takes you to the northern part of Norway. Starting in the far North at Kirkenes, passing the North Cape (the top of continental Europe) visiting the historic city of Tromso, the beautiful Lofoten Islands and finishing your cruise in the historic city of Trondheim.

The best time to see the midnight sun is late May, June and July where the sun does not set and may simply cast a beautiful yellow light across the night sky. There are plenty of excursions to take you to spectacular locations, experience the local way of life and perhaps a touch of city shopping in Trondheim!

Please remember as Scandinavian Travel Specialists we can combine many of our cruises - please ask!
