A region steeped in myths and legends, this voyage takes in the best of the Hurtigruten southbound voyage. Beginning in lively Tromsø, we weave through the stunning Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands before reaching medieval Trondheim at the end of the voyage.

Tromsø has been the starting point for many polar expeditions and is the ideal port to begin our own voyage of discovery. Sailing south, we keep our eyes open for the celestial colours of the Aurora Borealis as we navigate through inlets and channels of these cool waters. Jagged snow-clad peaks rise sharply from the sea, and soon we reach the beautiful islands of Lofoten. This chain of islands is 120km long and home to the fishing communities which have helped to make Norway famous as a sea-faring nation. Painted boathouses line the harbours and deserted beaches and fjords pass us by.

Our journey is completed in the Viking capital of Norway, Trondheim. A tour of the city with its fine examples of medieval and impressive wooden buildings is included. The 18th century Stiftsgården Palace and the magnificent 14th century Nidaros Cathedral, considered one of the grandest Gothic buildings in northern Europe , cannot be missed.
