Alta
We are now on an expedition cruise and the itinerary for the following days is flexible due to... more+ weather and wildlife. In the beginning of November, the polar night hasn’t settled over Alta yet, and there are still some hours of daylight. The polar night lasts from the end of November to the middle of January. During this period, the sun doesn't rise above the horizon, but there is not constant darkness. Even when the sun is below the horizon, we can enjoy enchanting twilight periods in the middle of the day, which can resemble colorful dusks and dawns. For those who are interested in capturing the beauty of nature, the light at this time of year can be captivating. Imagine taking a photo of a group of orcas in front of pink-colored skies and dramatic, snow-covered mountains!

Alta
In clear weather, we have good chances to see the spectacular Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)... more+ dance in the sky. Alta is known to be one of the best destinations to visit if you dream of watching this fascinating phenomenon. Since 2010, huge shoals of herring have overwintered in the fjords in Northern Norway, which has attracted many orcas and humpbacks. As with any wild animals, it is hard to predict if and where to they will return, but with some luck we will experience unforgettable encounters with these incredible mammals. The area is also a popular haunt for white-tailed eagles. They can be seen soaring above us with their impressive wingspans.

During the trip, we hope to be fortunate to see both Northern Lights and whales, and when the... more+ opportunity arises, we head out on exciting Zodiac cruises and refreshing hikes to explore the dramatic landscapes. Øksfjorden, Stjernøya and Loppa are examples of places we hope to explore. Perhaps the first snow has fallen and settled over the high mountain peaks, offering marvellous sceneries together with the small, picturesque houses and the beautiful fjords.
