Dinner and overnight onboard
At the tip of Brøgger peninsula, on one of Kongsfjord’s shores, is Ny-Ålesund
This stretch is also a good place to look out for walrus basking on the shores and for many different species of migrating birds, including puffins, king eiders, pink-footed geese, and guillemots.
Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer can sometimes be spotted on land while the white beluga whale has been known to surface in the waters here too.
Dinner and overnight onboard
It’s time for us to say farewell to Svalbard and to Spitsbergen and sail south back to mainland Norway.
• On board the ship, use the day to relax.
• If skies are clear, enjoy some summer sun out on deck and keep on the lookout for whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
Dinner and overnight onboard
Our first stop of the day is Tromsø, to drop off any cargo from Svalbard and pick up cargo bound for ports to the south, before we continue south to Senja. The island is one of the country’s largest, and northern Norway’s fast-rising star destination, as you’d expect for a place ranked among CNN’s top ten most beautiful islands in the world.
Dinner and overnight onboard
After Stokmarknes, we’ll sail via Raftsundet and Trollfjord to Lofoten.
• The rest of the day is all about exploring this breathtaking archipelago. Hailed as one of the most spectacular areas in all of Norway, you’ll understand why as you see its jagged green cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, climbing high into the sky like giant teeth.
• There are shops and restaurants to enjoy, and the hours can be spent exploring and getting to know the town yourself.
Dinner and overnight onboard
• From the Lofoten Islands, we head south across the open sea and the Arctic Circle.
• Soak up the ocean views from the deck or simply soak in the hot tub.
• You’ll catch sight of the beautiful Norwegian coast again about an hour before we arrive in Bessaker, a small village in Trøndelag county.
• We’ll spend the afternoon at Bessaker. Home to just 200 residents, it’s known for its excellent fishing opportunities and the surrounding waters boast plenty of skrei, coalfish and pollock.
Dinner and overnight onboard
The ship will make a brief stop in the town of Ålesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and picturesque position on a peninsula below Mount Aksla.
• Near to Ålesund, cutting through the peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps, some 1,700 metres high, is magnificent Hjørundfjord.
• On the banks of one of Hjørundfjord’s branches is the idyllic village of Sæbø. It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy at your own pace.
