Norway and Northern Lights discovery cruise

Head north to Norway, a land experiencing the long Arctic night, giving the best opportunity to witness the spectacular aurora borealis, nature's magical light show.

Explore the heart of Stavanger's Old Town with its high concentration of wooden buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries then cruise the Norwegian Sea to the lovely city of Bodo. See the Customs House and Gothic cathedral on an included city tour, or take an optional excursion to see the magnificent Saltstraumen Maelstrom. An overnight stop in Tromso gives ample time to explore the city's historic centre, or perhaps discover the spectacular surroundings on a husky or reindeer sleigh ride.

Alta is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is home to fascinating ancient rock carvings. There is the option to enjoy an overnight husky trip or a stay at the unique Igloo Hotel. In Narvik you can learn about the town's industrial heritage, enjoy an encounter with wolves or go in search of the Northern Lights. Admire the colourful wooden buildings of Bryggen Wharf and perhaps travel to the top of Mt Ulriken by cable car for magnificent views.
