The only complete scenic experience of the world’s most unspoiled destination!
This one-of-a-kind voyage takes you north from historic Bergen to Kirkenes at “the top of Europe” and back again. Because of the scheduling of port calls, the north- and southbound voyages are completely different cruise experiences. Nighttime or early morning port calls in one direction are daytime or early evening visits in the opposite, and vice versa. Join us for this 11-day north and south voyage and experience what Lonely Planet guidebooks calls “the world’s best sea voyage!”
