Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
On this two week cruise to Northern Norway, you will be perfectly placed to witness the ethereal lights of the Aurora Borealis illuminating the night sky while cruising in the Arctic Ocean and ashore during extended stays in Tromsø and Alta. Sail past Torghatten, the mountain with a hole through its centre, and enjoy an overnight stay in the ‘Gateway to the Arctic’, Tromsø, where you can spend time with a local Sámi community and learn about their daily lives in Northern Norway's harsh winters, before heading to Alta, ideal for joining husky sledding tours through wintry landscapes or going on an exhilarating snowmobile ride. Elsewhere, you will have the chance to explore the rugged Vesterålen archipelago and the hanseatic city of Bergen. Wrap up warm and join astronomers from Go Stargazing, who will enjoy taking you through the many different planets in the night sky, and showing you constellations on a laser-guided session from the decks of Borealis.

The handy checklist below has been created to assist in making sure you remember all the important things to pack for your cruise.
Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday.
On certain sailings we offer two types of cruise fares; Freedom and Saver Fares.
Our single guests feel right at home on board our ships; Fred. Olsen have the reputation of sailing the friendliest fleet afloat.
Disembarking when your ship's at anchor is a very different experience to when it's docked portside. Getting ashore in this instance often involves the use of the ship's tender, which is accessed via the steps of a secure gangway.
