The evening is kept easy, allowing you to settle into the rhythm of life in the far north.

• Harstad – Tromso

  Enjoy another morning amidst the fjords and islands of northern Norway before continuing to Tromsø, one of the places to witness the Aurora.

  Discover the vibrant arctic city of Tromsø with a guided city tour. Ride the cable car to Mount Storsteinen for sweeping views before visiting the Polar Museum, where the region's wildlife and exploration history come to life. As darkness returns, another evening brings another opportunity to venture beneath the northern skies.
