Tromso
Backed by snow-capped mountains, the bustling city of Tromsø is the perfect place to embark on an... see+ adventure. It has served as the base for many historic Arctic expeditions, including those of Roald Amundsen, and its location 400 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle has earned it the nickname "Gateway to the Arctic."

If you arrive early in Tromsø, we recommend exploring the city before boarding your cruise. There is much to see, including the Polar Museum, where you can learn about the city's exploration heritage. Be sure not to miss the impressive Arctic Cathedral, with its enormous stained-glass window. For those seeking a bit more adventure, we invite you to take a look at our pre-program.

Tromso Senja
Sometimes called "Norway in miniature," Senja is the second-largest island in Norway. With its... see+ rugged mountains, sandy beaches, dark forests, and idyllic fishing villages, you'll understand why it has earned this name. Reindeer roam freely on the island, so be on the lookout for a sighting!

We will visit a local community and experience the warm Scandinavian hospitality. We will learn more about the Sámi culture and life in the remote villages during the winter months. At times, we will sail in darkness and twilight, but this will only enrich our experience, with sparkling snow landscapes illuminated by the low sun and starlight.

The famous Svartisen, which means "black ice," consists of two distinct glaciers, Vestisen and Østisen, separated by the Vesterdalen valley, which stretches nearly 1 kilometer long. The color of the ice can range from turquoise to dark blue, but it is never quite black.

If conditions allow, your expedition team will land at a local pier and take you ashore, where we will hike to get a closer look at this extraordinary glacier.
