Tromsø is a city packed with culture, polar history and fresh locally sourced food in its numerous restaurants. Mountains, fjords and islands also surround it, making it a great base for exploring the winter landscape. On arrival, self transfer to your central located hotel right on the harbour's edge.

If it is a clear day, experience Tromsø’s best view! On the outskirts of Tromsø (it is a very small town) a cable car runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge Storsteinen (421 m above sea level) in just four minutes. From the viewing platform at the upper station, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Tromsø and the surrounding islands, mountains and fjords. At the fully licensed Fjellstua restaurant, you can enjoy a delicious dinner based on local produce or select light meals from the café menu, while you take pleasure in the view.

This morning, travel by coach leaving at 8.45am to Senja island. Travel over the fjords on a ferry and arrive Hamn i Senja by 14.15. Settle into your harbour view suite before exploring the area. You can book a hot tub or an additional activity such as deep-sea fishing or e-biking.

This morning, join a boat trip in the beautiful archipelago of Bergsfjord with crystal clear turquoise water and white sandy beaches – also known as the “Caribbean in the Arctic”!

Steep, majestic mountain dive straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed seashells line the islands in the clear turquoise waters. If you are lucky, you might get a glimpse of the white-tailed eagle and maybe a seal and other sea birds playing in the winds. The knowledgeable guides will tell you everything you need to know about this area!

After a relaxing morning, you will join the Arctic Route bus in the middle of the afternoon. Get ready for an incredible sightseeing day as you travel along the Lofoten coastline all the way to Svolvær at the bottom of the archipelago. You will arrive around 9.30pm, having had dinner along the way. Remember, you are travelling when there is around the clock midnight sun so you won't miss any of the views.

Settle into your fisherman's rorbu this evening.

A trip made for nature enthusiasts! This morning you will get the chance to meet sea eagles and experience some of the most scenic landscapes in Lofoten.

The tour starts from the quayside in Svolvær, and will take you through Raftsundet before entering Trollfjorden. This is some of the most dramatic scenery that Norway has to offer and in an open boat you will get close to the elements. There is a large population of sea eagles in Raftsundet, and one of the highlights is without a doubt when a sea eagle circles a few meters above your head.

This is the eagle with the largest wingspan in the world, up to 2.65 meters. The guides have expert training and will make sure that you have a comfortable experience.

Today, you will join the Arctic Route journey travelling further along the Lofoten Archipelago. After breakfast, make your own way back to the city centre to join the coach tour. You will have stops along the way, visiting small villages and harbours such as Henningsvær and Nusfjord where you can sightsee and eat. The coach stops also for photo opportunities as it meanders around the coastline and corners of Lofoten. You will arrive at approximately 14:15 today in Reine.

Reine is Lofoten’s most photographed area, as the surrounding mountains and typical red rorbu cabins breathe the internationally known image of Lofoten! Settle into your rorbu and enjoy another magnificent seafood dinner at a local harbour side restaurant.

Get ready for an incredible easy kayaking adveture offering stunning views of the Reinefjorden, the granite peaks, and the red and white rorbuer. An experienced kayak guide leads the tour along a designated route, providing you with the ultimate view regardless of your skill level. Drysuits are included. If you would prefer a different activity such as biking, diving, fishing or sea rafting , please let us know.

Transfer to the Leknes Airport, 78 kms and departure.

Alta is one of the bigger coastal towns we visit, with a population of over 10,000 people. A particularly famous part of the town is Alta River, one of Norway’s best salmon rivers. Here, large salmon are regularly caught, with some even weighing up to 24 kg. You won’t regret trying some fresh grilled salmon in one of the local restaurants.

Increased snowfall in the winter allows for some truly authentic Arctic excursions, like dogsledding. The snow and climate of Alta also creates the perfect conditions to build and maintain the Igloo Hotel, located on the banks of river Alta.

You’ll have the chance to visit and tour the world’s northernmost ice hotel, built out of snow and ice every winter and carved with different artistic themes by local sculptors. Head to the hotel’s ice bar, decorated with handcrafted ice sculptures and order a drink in an ice glass – no ice cubes needed.

The northernmost city on the mainland, Honningsvåg’s landscape is quite distinctive, with barely any trees or bushes. This far north, winters are long and snowfall is high, so get ready for some fantastic winter scenery and activities.

Feel the snow crunching under your snowshoes as you hike across the plains. You might even be able to try your hand at ice fishing, a beloved winter tradition in the far north. Get a taste of the local delicacy, king crab, which is caught in the waters around Honningsvåg and served year-round. Admire local art in the Once Upon a Dream art gallery, and don’t miss the Honningsvåg Church. This is the oldest building in the area, dating back to 1885.

The highlight of any trip to Honningsvåg is a visit to the North Cape. This is one of the northernmost points of mainland Europe, and as we’re visiting in winter, we can get there by snowmobile. Standing near the northern edge of Norway and looking out over the Barents Sea under the polar night sky is a truly special experience. Add the ethereal Northern Lights dancing in the sky above, and you’ve got a sight you’ll never forget.

Arrive at Tromsø early in the morning today. The city is buzzing with everything from trendy restaurants and cafés to boutique shops selling local crafts and produce.

Say farewell to the ship and crew before you disembark and walk to your hotel. This afternoon, you can visit three of Tromsø’s most famous attractions: the Arctic Cathedral, Polaria centre, and ride the cable car up to Mount Storsteinen.

Today is free to wander around in this Arctic capital - if it is a bit fresh outside, explore the lovely cafes & galleries. You can join an additional Northern Lights tour if you haven't had any luck or a evening cruise.

Self-transfer to the airport and depart Tromsø.
