Northern Lights: A Taste of the Arctic Cruise - a 4-day cruise from Tromso to Trondheim

A region steeped in myths and legends, this ultimate short break will give you a taste of Arctic Norway and takes in the best of the Hurtigruten southbound voyage.

No Single Supplement!

Beginning in lively Tromsø, we weave through the stunning Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands before reaching medieval Trondheim.

Sailing south from Tromsø, we keep our eyes open for the magical Aurora Borealis as we navigate through inlets and channels of these cool waters. Jagged snow-clad peaks rise sharply from the sea and soon we reach the beautiful islands of Lofoten. This chain of islands is 120km long and home to the fishing communities which have helped to make Norway famous as a sea-faring nation. Painted boathouses line the harbours and deserted beaches and fjords pass us by.

Our journey is completed in the Viking capital of Norway, Trondheim. We pass by the 18th century Stiftsgården Palace and the magnificent 14th century Nidaros Cathedral, considered one of the grandest Gothic buildings in northern Europe.
