Start your journey in Oslo, Norway’s vibrant capital, where you can explore iconic sights like the Rådhuset Town Hall, Royal Palace, and Oslo Cathedral. After taking in the city’s charm, board the MS Trollfjord for your coastal voyage. Once on board, you’ll meet the Coastal Experience Team, who will lead lectures and activities throughout your trip. The two-storey panorama lounge is the perfect spot to relax and watch the city’s lights fade as you set sail for your next adventure.

Spend today relaxing on board and getting a taste of our Norway’s Coastal Kitchen cuisine in the ship’s three restaurants and bar. You’ll have time to simply watch Norway’s spectacular southern coast glide by. Take it all in from the expansive Observation Deck, from the comfort of your ship’s two-storey lounge and bar, or from the panoramic sauna. As well as the views, this stretch of coast is home to history and stories. Find out more about Norway’s coast and the voyage ahead in the lectures, presentations, and onboard activities planned for today.

Today, you’ll wake to views of the beautiful Lysefjord. The 42-km-long fjord is home to one of Norway’s most famous sights: Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock), which towers 604 metres above the fjord’s shimmering waters.

After breakfast on the ship, we’ll dock at a town on a small peninsula surrounded by beautiful mountains and islands. Many of the buildings here, from the bright colours to the rounded spires, were inspired by the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in the early 1900s. You can get impressive photos of the archipelago from the nearby Mount Aksla viewpoint.

The cosy fishing port of Rørvik in the picturesque Vikna archipelago may look small but it has a huge history that is told through both the landscape and the town’s collection of museums.  In the afternoon, we’ll continue sailing north through the Vikna archipelago made up of 6,000 islands, islets and reefs. The local gardens bloom with plum and apple blossoms in the spring, even at 65°N, thanks to the maritime climate.

Svolvær – at the heart of Lofoten, Stokmarknes – the birthplace of Hurtigruten. On the penultimate day of your voyage, we explore Lofoten. As soon as you see the towering peaks with fishing villages clinging to their sides, you’ll understand why this island chain is praised as one of Norway’s most stunning locations.

Tromsø, often called the ‘gateway to the Arctic’, is also named the ‘Arctic Capital. Sitting around 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the city is known for great winter activities and for chances of seeing the Northern Lights.  Once you’ve arrived and disembarked the MS Trollfjord, you will meet your tour manager and fellow travelers before setting off from Tromsø in your private first-class coach.

After breakfast, set out on an unforgettable winter safari. Glide across a pristine frozen lake and through enchanting snowy birch forests aboard a snow sleigh or snowmobile.  Your journey will lead you to Koltavuoma, where the distinctive yellow border cairn marks the world’s most tranquil border between Finland, Sweden, and Norway.

After breakfast, board a private coach and journey southeast along the picturesque Swedish-Finnish border. You’ll arrive in the resort of Levi for two enchanting nights in a private Aurora Cabin, otherwise called a Glass Igloo. This unique accommodation, nestled away from light pollution, provides clear views of the night sky and maybe even the Northern Lights right from your bed.

After breakfast, you’ll swap snowmobiles from the night before for husky sleds. The energetic team of dogs will take you on a 5 km sleigh ride through Lapland’s pristine forests. This unforgettable adventure begins in front of an Aurora hut and promises a fast-paced, memorable journey through the winter wonderland.

After breakfast, board a private coach for a scenic journey from Levi to Kemi, with a brief stop in Rovaniemi. Arrive at the Experience 365 winter resort and check into the unique Glass Villas, where you’ll spend the night later enjoying panoramic views of the snowy landsc
