Sailing itineraries

Tromso
Feel your heart flutter, as you catch your first glimpse of that famous emerald haze dancing across... see+ the stars, during your visit to this wonderful Arctic gateway. Located in the far north of Norway, a visit to Tromso beckons you to the extremes of this magical country, to explore a fairytale land of jagged mountains, glistening glaciers, and husky-pulled sleds. Despite its remote location, you'll discover a perhaps surprisingly cosmopolitan city, with a healthy student population injecting plenty of energy. Sat 250 miles above the Arctic Circle - at 69° north - you can bathe in the midnight sun's glow during summer before winter brings the thick blackness and starry skies of endless polar nights. The darkness doesn't stop the fun - with a polar night half-marathon taking place in January - but the return of the sun is always a reason for a celebration here. To get the best view over the city, take the cable car to Storsteinen's amazing viewpoint. Magnificent views down over the city, fjord, and Tromso's arching bridge will unravel before you. Learn more about northerly traditions, polar expeditions, and arctic hunting at the Polar Museum. The Science Centre, meanwhile, explains how humans have harnessed and survived these epic landscapes over the years, and explores Tromso's breathtaking natural spectacle - the northern lights. The city is famed for its extraordinary viewing opportunities, which are often said to be the best in the world. The Alpine Botanic Garden is the most northern such garden on the planet, showcasing some of Norway's hardiest plant life, which survives and thrives at this nose-bleeding altitude.

Tromso Skarsvag North Cape
For those who love to travel off the beaten track, you've found your Nordic nirvana in Skarsvag.... see+ Large and sparsely populated (there are only 60 year-round residents), Skarsvag is a delight for anyone who revels in austere, unbridled beauty. It also boasts the enviable title of the world's northernmost fishing village. But beyond the rolling hills, prolific birdlife and Arctic fjords, Skarsvag is best known for its proximity to the North Cape. Located on the island of Magerøya, the northernmost point of Europe above the Arctic Circle is an essential item on any to-do list. Stand beneath the massive metal globe and gaze out over the Barents Sea, where the only land separating you from the North Pole is the Svalbard archipelago. This really is the land of the midnight sun – in fact, you're so far north that the sun doesn't even dip below the horizon between May and mid-July. The island's famous bird cliffs are spectacular and home to thousands of puffins, gannets and cormorants. Those willing to walk to Knivskjellodden, the northernmost point of Magerøya, will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the cliff-side North Cape plateau. Before you leave, visit the impressive North Cape Hall for exhibitions on the history of the North Cape. Travelers have been coming here since 1664, when Italian priest Francesco Negri arrived, so there are plenty of stories to tell! Even more intriguing is a tunnel dug into the rock, leading to the cliff face, with a chapel.
Located at the northernmost tip of Norway and inside the Arctic Circle, there is something very special about being (almost) at the top of the world. Nicknamed the northernmost point in Europe, the North Cape (Nordkapp in Norwegian) is located approximately 1,306.3 miles from the North Pole, with no land between them except for the Svalbard archipelago. Where the Atlantic and Arctic oceans meet, this is the true land of the midnight sun. The spectacular views and 24-hour sunlight give the side of the boat a dizzying, relaxed feel. Imagine sipping a glass of chilled champagne at the top of the world, in broad daylight, at midnight—it's sensational. Don't miss the hundreds of thousands of puffins, gannets, cormorants, seals, dolphins and whales that call this stretch of cold water home. Not to mention the colorful, compact fishing villages, which contrast so starkly with the barren landscape.

North Cape Bear Island
Bear Island is considered Svalbard’s southernmost island, roughly halfway between Spitsbergen and... see+ Norway’s North Cape. Although the last polar bears were seen in 2004, the name goes back to Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz and his visit in 1596. The island has been used to hunt walrus, for whaling, and even coal mining has taken place. The strategic location on the border of the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea has led to a meteorological station being set up by Norway near Gravodden on Bear Island’s north coast. Some two-thirds of the island is a relatively flat plain with shallow freshwater lakes and Ramsar Wetland, while the entire island and the surrounding waters are a Nature Reserve. Bear Island has also been designated an Import Bird Area as it is a staging area for Pink-footed and Barnacle Geese and the steep cliffs south of Sørhamna are home to thousands of breeding seabirds. This is a specially protected area where Zodiacs are allowed to cruise along the cliffs around Kapp Kolthoff. In smaller amounts Atlantic Puffins, Northern Gannets, Glaucous Gulls, and Great Skuas are found in between the large Black-legged Kittiwake, Little Auk, Common Guillemot, and Brünnich’s Guillemot colonies. The constant battering of the sea has not only created impressive sea caves and tunnels, but unfortunately, the Russian vessel Petrozavodsk shipwrecked near Revdalen at the base of the limestone cliffs, and the waves are causing a continuous disintegration of the remains of the ship.

Bear Island Svalbard
The southern region of Svalbard, and more specifically the west coast of Spitsbergen, is less... see+ congested with ice than the rest of Svalbard, thanks to the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream. Several fjords cut into the western coast of Spitsbergen and have been used by trappers and hunters, as well as by various mining companies that have attempted to exploit the riches of the archipelago's largest island, Spitsbergen. 
Activities: Includes: Exploration of the Svalbard, see+

Svalbard Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen is the biggest settlement in Svalbard. Seat of the Norwegian administration, it also... see+ has the best services and infrastructure in the archipelago. Located deep in the Adventfjord, a sidearm of the Isfjorden (Icefjord), Longyearbyen’s airport can be used all year round, but its harbor is blocked by ice in winter. Most shops, hotels, restaurants and a hospital are within easy walking distance of the port. One of the most prominent buildings in town is the UNIS center, where several Norwegian universities have joined forces to operate and offer the northernmost higher education to both Norwegian and international students. Adjacent to UNIS, and well worth a visit, is the Svalbard Museum, covering the natural history and exploitation of Svalbard. Remnants of the former mining activity can be seen all around Longyearbyen and even in town.
