Northern Lights: Sami Day and Reindeer Races Cruise - a 7-day cruise from Tromsø to Bergen

This itinerary combines a relaxing voyage south from Tromsø to Bergen with two nights pre voyage in the Arctic Capital itself to coincide with the annual Sami reindeer racing championships.

With two nights in Tromsø during the week of local festivities following the 6 February, the official Sami National Day – the date when the first Sami congress was held in 1917.

The highlight of these celebrations is the annual reindeer racing championships, which take place in the centre of Tromsø. Wrap up warm to enjoy the spectacle as competitors try to stay upright on their skis behind their reindeer as they gallop down the snow-covered streets, reaching top speeds of 60km per hour.

After your stay in Tromsø you set sail towards Bergen, keep your eyes open for the magnificent Northern Lights as you enjoy the voyage towards Bergen.
