Alesund

It is a seaport, and it is known for its extraordinary concentration of Art Nouveau architecture which will make you discover a great variety of fanciful ornaments on the fronts of the buildings. Climb the 418 steps to the top of Mount Aksla and you will be rewarded with an unforgettable panorama.

Ålesund is a natural starting point for an active holiday with a beautiful coastline and cliffs, deep valleys, fjords and spectacular mountains. It is also a great place for children, offering a series of exciting experiences for the whole family, from seeing the fish and penguins at the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium, to the exciting Barnas Lekeland Children's Playland, to travelling back in time at the open-air Sunnmøre Museum or the Nouveau Art Centre.

Tromsoe

Embark on an extraordinary polar adventure from Tromsø, Norway, the "Gateway to the Arctic," nestled amidst stunning fjords and dramatic mountains. This vibrant city, known for its Northern Lights and midnight sun, offers an unparalleled departure point for exploring the Arctic wilderness. Prepare for a cruise filled with majestic landscapes, unique wildlife, and unforgettable cultural encounters, promising an immersive journey into the heart of the North.

Tromsø is the largest city in northern Norway and one of the most populated and is located about 350 km from the Arctic Circle. The center of the city develops on an island called Tromsøya, while the population lives on the mainland, Tromsdalen: there are many bridges that connect the islands with the mainland, giving the city a decidedly particular character. The area on which Tromsø was later born has been inhabited since the ice age. In the Middle Ages, the Sami settled in this area and it was during this period that it became a border city with Russia.
Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, it is possible to witness natural spectacles such as the midnight sun, which occurs near the summer solstice and which means that the night never falls. Tromsø is a tourist destination above all for the phenomenon of the northern lights: between the end of September and the end of March, it is possible to witness this natural spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the world and who are not frightened by the low temperatures, because it is really worth it. Photography lovers will find bread for their teeth and will be able to bring home real photographic trophies.
Tromsø is a university city and there are many students who populate it, both indigenous and foreign. In the city, it is possible to visit a museum that collects finds from expeditions to the Arctic Circle: almost all the expeditions started right from here.
Tromsø is also an important port for the cruise market: cruises on the Norwegian fjords stop here so that visitors can admire its beauty. In spring and summer, the only times of the year in which it is possible to visit these areas by cruise, the valleys are colored with a bright green and are a real spectacle to admire on board a cruise ship.
