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.

Longyearbyen

Longyearbyen, located in the remote Svalbard Islands, offers cruisers an extraordinary opportunity to explore the heart of the Arctic. During the stop, it is possible to visit the Global Seed Vault, an impressive “bank” that preserves seeds from all over the world. Nature lovers can participate in guided excursions to admire the snow-covered landscapes and, with a bit of luck, spot reindeer and Arctic foxes. For an unforgettable experience, it is possible to take a dog sledding excursion, an authentic way to experience the Arctic and its magic.

Embark on an unparalleled Arctic expedition from Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the world's northernmost permanent settlement. This remote and captivating town, nestled amidst glaciers and dramatic landscapes, offers a truly unique starting point for exploring the high Arctic. Before setting sail, experience the midnight sun or the Northern Lights, and discover the resilient local culture. Longyearbyen promises an extraordinary prelude to a journey filled with incredible wildlife, pristine wilderness, and breathtaking polar beauty.

Cruises departing from Longyearbyen plunge you into the heart of the Arctic, offering a unique opportunity to witness its majestic glaciers, vast ice fields, and abundant wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, and various bird species. From the comfort of your expedition ship, you'll explore untouched fjords and land on remote shores, all while learning about this fragile ecosystem. This journey promises not just a trip, but a profound connection with nature, leaving you with an awe-inspiring appreciation for one of Earth's most remote and stunning regions, a truly unforgettable adventure.
