About this trip

Twelve days exploring the majestic Norwegian fjords from Bergen to Tromsø. This expedition-style passage takes you through some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on Earth — towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and glacier-carved inlets stretching to the horizon. Sail past the Lofoten Islands, cross the Arctic Circle, and experience the midnight sun in July and August. The Norwegian coast offers world-class sailing with long daylight hours, pristine anchorages, and the chance to see whales, eagles, and northern landscapes that few sailors ever reach. This is not a typical Mediterranean holiday — it's an expedition in wild, beautiful waters for sailors who crave something different.
