The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Our team has designed this cruise to visit northern Norway during the Northern Lights season. You will have the opportunity to spot the natural phenomenon of dancing lights from both on board Balmoral and ashore in Alta during an extended stay. As well as ticking off the experience of crossing the Arctic Circle, you will witness remote coastal scenery as you cruise pass the Seven Sisters mountain range and sail through the Tjeldsundet Strait – this scenic shortcut is only possible to undertake on smaller ships like Balmoral. You'll also have the chance to take a tour to spend time with a Sámi community in the remote Arctic wilderness, and visit a husky yard to learn about local culture and traditions.
