Northern Lights Arctic Highlights Extended Cruise - a 6-day Arctic cruise holiday from Tromso

Your journey begins in Tromsø, with a leisurely voyage north. Observe the sky as you travel towards Honningsvåg. From here, you can join an excursion to mainland Europe’s most northerly point, the North Cape, where cliffs rise dramatically 300 metres from the sea, and you gaze out with nothing but water between you and the frozen waters surrounding the North Pole.

We then head to the sheltered harbour of Kirkenes, a mere 10km from the Russian border. Here you may visit the border with Russia, try your hand at snowmobiling, or enjoy a taste of Sami life.

As the return journey from Kirkenes hugs the coastline, you revisit remote settlements which rely on Hurtigruten ships to maintain contact with the rest of Norway. We stay overnight in Tromsø after leaving the ship.

An extra night in a Tromsø hotel gives even longer to catch the Northern Lights and undertake some fabulous excursions in the Arctic Capital.
