After making several brief night time calls along the unspoilt coastline, you reach the delightful town of Ålesund, with time to explore this fascinating location, which was completely rebuilt in Art Nouveau style having been destroyed by fire in 1904. Leaving Ålesund you head north towards Trondheim. (B, D)

DAY 4: LOFOTEN ISLANDS
Crossing the Arctic Circle later in the day you reach the legendary Lofoten Islands. There you have time for an after dinner stroll in Svolvær and perhaps a visit to the world’s first Ice Gallery ‘Magic Ice’, which features dramatically lit ice sculptures and atmospheric music that illustrate tantalising tales about the islands and their people. (B, D)
DAY 5: TROMSØ
Following a relaxing morning on board you arrive mid afternoon in Tromsø, Norway’s Arctic capital, a great place to see the Northern Lights and to experience life high above the Arctic Circle. This is also an ideal location to gain a real taste of the Arctic by joining optional evening dog sledging, reindeer sledging at a coastal farm or perhaps a snowmobile safari in Lyngen. On arrival in Tromsø transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay. (B)
DAY 6: TROMSØ
