7 Day Artic Fjords Explorer of Norway

Embark on a thrilling Arctic adventure in Tromsø, the Gateway to the Arctic, where stunning scenery, sunny skies, and a lively cultural scene set the tone for your journey. From the moment you meet your Trip Manager and crew, you’ll feel the excitement of exploring Norway’s dramatic northern coastline and pristine wilderness.

Whether you’re seeking active adventure or tranquil moments, Tromsø offers a wealth of experiences. Paddle along fjords and rugged shores on a guided sea kayaking trip, spotting puffins, otters, sea eagles, and even dolphins as crystal-clear waters reflect soaring mountains and hidden villages. For a truly authentic Norwegian experience, venture to Kvaløya to meet a pack of playful Alaskan huskies before hiking through forested trails and pausing by a mountain stream for a warm drink and epic fjord views.

Later, board a Hurtigruten cruise and set sail along Norway’s wild coast, where onboard dining highlights local flavors while the ever-changing scenery captivates. Ports of call include Hammerfest, Honningsvåg, and Kirkenes, where optional excursions lead you to the North Cape or on a high-speed RIB boat King Crab safari. It’s a perfect mix of wildlife, adventure, and local culture, with plenty of opportunities for awe-inspiring photographs.

Back in Tromsø, ride the Fjellheisen cable car for sweeping views of the city and surrounding mountains, capturing the essence of Arctic Norway. As the journey concludes with a farewell dinner, you’ll leave with a collection of unforgettable memories and a heartfelt “Sees!” from your Nordic hosts.
