Round Voyage starting from Tromsø

Every nautical mile between Tromsø and Kirkenes brings new impressions. While the landscape remains constant, the weather and light are always changing, reshaping the colours and atmosphere around you. Here, you may witness soft grey skies, the green shimmer of the Northern Lights, or the golden glow of the midnight sun. Along the coast, small fishing villages shelter from the open sea, while larger towns are nestled between rugged mountains and the shoreline—offering a glimpse into the unique beauty and culture of Northern Norway on the journey from Tromsø to Kirkenes and back.

Day 1

Ports: Tromsø - Skjervøy

The voyage begins in Tromsø, a city characterised by hunting and fishing, polar expeditions and courage. Now you are also in the land of the Sami, Norway's indigenous people. Meeting the Sami and their reindeer while hearing about the Sami culture is a unique experience you will remember.

Day 2

Ports: Hammerfest - Havøysund - Honningsvåg - Kjøllefjord - Mehamn - Berlevåg

As far north as you can get - by land and sea. For many, the visit to the North Cape is a high point and a goal for voyages along the Norwegian coast. Up here in the polar landscape, nature is at its harshest and most desolate, but between bare plains and rugged cliffs people cling on and reap nature's bounty. You can also have a taste of the catch. How about some king crab?

Day 3

Ports: Båtsfjord - Vardø - Vadsø - Kirkenes -Vardø - Båtsfjord - Berlevåg

You are now as far east on your voyage as you can go. The border with Russia is only a few kilometres away, and the road signs in Kirkenes are in Norwegian and Russian. You can go as far as the border on one of our excursions, or how about a visit to the Snow Resort where everything is made of ice and snow? The ship starts it southbound route after visiting Kirkenes.

Southbound Voyage


Day 4

The polar landscape changes as we sail towards the west and south again. The great expanses are replaced by steep peaks, and in the evening we sail into Tromsø. You can take a stroll in the midnight sun or under the Northern Lights and explore the nightlife of the city dubbed "The Paris of the North".
