Northern Lights: Northern Explorer Cruise - an 8-day cruise from Tromso to Kirkenes and return

Your journey begins in Tromsø, with a leisurely voyage north. Observe the sky as you pass towards Honningsvåg. From here you may travel to mainland Europe’s most northerly point, North Cape.

No Single Supplement!

We head up to Kirkenes near the Russian border. This fascinating little town allows a glimpse into life in this remote region of Norway. Here you can visit the border with Russia or try your hand at snowmobiling.

You will then embark your southbound voyage to the cultural city of Bergen, gateway to the fjords with its cobbled streets and Hanseatic warehouses. Our journey takes in the Viking capital of Norway, Trondheim, with an opportunity to join a tour of this great city with its fine examples of medieval and impressive wooden architecture.
