6-DAY KIRKENES-BERGEN VOYAGE SOUTHBOUND

Day 1 Ports: Mehamn – Kjøllefjord – Honningsvåg – Havøysund – Hammerfest – Øksfjord – Skjervøy – Tromsø

The High Arctic changes as you sail west and south again. The large plains are replaced by steep peaks and in the evening you sail into Tromsø. Here you can catch a midnight concert in the Arctic Cathedral or you can stroll in the midnight sun or under the northern lights and explore the nightlife in the city that has the nickname “Paris of the North”.

• Midnight concert in the Arctic Cathedral , Tromsø

Day 2 Ports: Finnsnes – Harstad – Risøyhamn – Sortland – Stokmarknes – Svolvær – Stamsund

We return to wild and idyllic Lofoten. Under the pointed mountains are chalk-white sandy beaches and fishing villages with vibrant fishing industry and locals who use the coastal cruise ships for everyday travel and transport. If the weather makes it possible, we go into the narrow Trollfjord. This is an area where the chance to see the sea eagle flying with the ship is great.

Day 3 Ports: Bodø – Ørnes – Sandnessjøen – Brønnøysund – Rørvik

Now we cross the Arctic Circle southbound, but you can still see the northern lights in the winter and the summer nights are never completely dark. Here you sail in a myriad of small islands, islets and reefs and past the special mountain, Trollhatten, which has a hole in the middle. If you want, you can also join a trip to the mountain and go into the hole.

In Kristiansund, you can get off the coastal cruise ship and be driven across the Atlantic Road, perhaps the the world’s most beautiful road. It winds its way over islets, reefs and rocks. You get back on board in Molde.

Excursions

• Trondheim and Nidaros Cathedral Sørgangen , Trondheim
• Atlanterhavsveien and Bergtatt marble mine , Kristiansund

Day 5-6 Ports: Torvik – Måløy – Florø – Bergen

The last day of the trip takes you through a diverse coastal landscape with bare boulders and a maze of waterways between the many islands. Inland you see the large fjords and glaciers. And at the end of the journey, Bergen awaits and you disembark with good memories and new friends you have made.
