Land of the Polar Bears
Join us on a journey through the Svalbard Archipelago, an untamed wilderness for undisturbed wildlife, where spectacular Arctic scenery is the backdrop for sightings of polar bears
A visit to Norway is like stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia. The spellbinding Northern Lights, Christmas card landscapes and active volcanoes form a backdrop for the tiny fishing villages, traditional farms and busy ports that the country’s hardy but hospitable people call home.
Come and discover a country carved from ice and fire, featuring massive glaciers, fairy-tale waterfalls and breathtaking scenery. The magic and mystery of this land is palpable – the long stretching mountainous landscapes, completely uninhabited areas and Viking history shroud Norway in myth and legend. Deep fjords indent the entire coast of Norway, making it one of the world’s most exciting cruise destinations.
Our voyage to the Northern Lights is a journey like no other. This classic coastal cruise from Bergen up into the Artic Circle and onward to the Russian border offers long relaxing nights aboard, away from lights created by habitation, which in turn creates the perfect chances for seeing the aurora borealis.
As well as its celebrated natural wonders, Norway also boasts several historical and architectural attractions of note, including Nidaros Cathedral - located in the city of Trondheim and Scandinavia’s oldest cathedral.
Other highlights include a visit to Tromsø, the capital of Arctic Norway, and Hammerfest, one of the world’s most northerly towns, where you too will feel on top of the world.
