Arctic Circle
The Arctic Circle is the ultimate playground for clients who want a mix of adventure and exploration
arrow_outwardAbout
The dramatic spectacle of the Northern Lights, extraordinary landscapes and a real sense of exploration are among the many draws in this far-flung region. Comfortable modern expedition vessels sail past icebergs and are engineered to safely sail through icy waters. Ilulissat is the gateway to Greenland and hikes are among the attractions for active passengers. Culture vultures will find plenty to see in Tromsø with its polar museum and eye-catching Arctic Church.
Oslo
This seafaring capital boasts outstanding maritime museums. The trio of longships at the Viking Ship Museum include Tune, the first Viking vessel excavated in 1867 and one of the world’s best preserved. The equally awe-inspiring Fram Museum houses the strongest wooden ship ever built which was used on record-breaking polar expeditions by explorers such as Roald Amundsen.
Alta
Known as the town of the Northern Lights, this is another prime spot to witness nature’s amazing light show. A stay will provide time to take in the aurora-inspired Cathedral of the Northern Lights and UNESCO-listed ancient rock carvings at Hjemmeluft.
Don't miss this excursion
A husky-drawn sled ride is an unforgettable experience and cruise lines offer day and evening trips in Tromsø – some with an overnight stay and opportunity to spot the Northern Lights. Passengers are wrapped in warm blankets while professional ‘mushers’ steer the dog teams through forests and along magical snow-covered trails.
