Overview
What does this 7 day itinerary cover?
A week-long Arctic expedition from Tromsø to the Lofoten Islands, dramatic peaks, fishing villages, whale encounters, and the midnight sun. It runs 7 days from Tromsø.
Northern Norway's Lofoten Islands are among the most visually stunning places on Earth, jagged granite peaks erupting from Arctic waters, traditional red fishing cabins (rorbuer), and wildlife encounters that include orcas, humpback whales, and sea eagles.
This 7-day expedition departs from Tromsø, the 'Gateway to the Arctic', and winds through the Vesterålen archipelago to the iconic Lofoten wall, a 160km chain of dramatic islands connected by bridges and surrounded by some of the world's richest fishing grounds.
Fully customisable. Extend to Svalbard (requires ice-class yacht), add whale-watching detours, or combine with a southbound cruise to the western fjords.
