Cruise Segment of Itinerary
Tuesday - Aug 12, 2025
Day 1
Bergen, Norway
Welcome to Bergen! Your voyage begins in this beautiful city on the west coast of Norway. What began as a small village was developed by King Olav Kyrre in 1070 AD and is now Norway's second-largest city. The majestic peaks that famously surround the city give Bergen its nickname, 'The City of Seven Mountains'. Nestled in Bergen's center is Vagen Bay, the historic core of the city, and home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen quarter made up of charming cobblestone streets and local boutique shops. Across from Bryggen, you'll find the fish market, which cooks up fresh and delicious seafood dishes to feast on. Before you board MS Trollfjord, visit the comfortable guest lounge at the Bergen Terminal. Here, you can talk to staff about securing a spot on any optional excursions still available. Once welcomed aboard, you'll meet your ship's Coastal Experience Team, who will be your hosts and guides to the Norwegian coastline and Svalbard. Get acquainted with your shipmates and take some time to get comfortable in your new home-away-from-home. Enjoy your first meal aboard the ship, and watch the row of colorful buildings on the seafront get smaller behind you as you sail into the Norwegian Sea. ... Read More

Day 2
Andalsnes, Norway
Located along the Isfjord, Andalsnes is a picturesque coastal town, home to about 2,000 people. The literal highlights of Andalsnes are the mountains that tower over the town. Experience the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv - a love of the outdoors - through a variety of activities, such as hiking to Rampestreken viewpoint. For an easier way to take in the sights, sit back for a relaxing ride on the Romsdal Gondola or travel the winding Trollstigen Pass by bus. Whichever activities you choose, this day will bring you the best views of the Isfjord, Romsdalsfjord, and surrounding peaks. ... Read More

Day 3
Traena, Norway
Traena is an archipelago that sits along the Helgeland coast at the edge of the Arctic Circle, 33 nautical miles northwest of the mainland. Made up of around 500 islands, islets, and skerries, only four are inhabited year-round. Spend the afternoon in one of Norway's oldest fishing communities. If weather permits, you might be able to enjoy such activities as hiking and biking, or even island hopping. With a large population of sea eagles, birdwatching is another activity you won't want to miss. For a truly authentic experience, step into the age-old shoes of a Norwegian fisherman, and cast a line under the summer sun. When it's time to leave in the evening, take some time to rest onboard and unwind. We'll cross the Arctic Circle as we continue heading north, commemorating the moment with a little Norwegian ceremony. ... Read More

Day 4
Reine, Lofoten, Norway, Norway
Today, we explore the famed Lofoten islands. Watch for the steep mountains rising from the sea as we approach from the south in the morning. We dock in Reine, an important - and picture-perfect - fishing village since 1743. This is one of the most photographed landscapes in all of Norway, where red-painted rorbuer cling to a string of islands beneath sharp mountain ranges reflected in the waters below. Not far to the south of Reine, at the western tip of the Lofoten archipelago, you'll find A, one of the best-preserved traditional fishing villages in Norway. You can visit it on an optional excursion. At the heart of this tiny village is the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, which covers the importance and development of fishing in Lofoten over the last 250 years. ... Read More
Saturday - Aug 16, 2025
Day 5
Tromso, Norway
Tromso is northern Norway's urban Arctic hotspot, boasting impressive architecture, hip restaurants, and the world's northernmost university. Calling into Tromso on the way to or from Svalbard follows in the footsteps of history. Most explorers and sailors on Arctic expeditions would embark from or return to the city. We aim to dock here in the morning, giving us a whole day to explore this historic Arctic city and its surroundings. Take your pick from a number of optional excursions. Learn more about the culture and polar history of Tromso on a city walk, or take a scenic bus tour. You can also visit the striking Arctic Cathedral, which has an impressively large multi-colored stained-glass window. Or ride the Fjellheisen Cable Car up Storsteinen Mountain for exceptionally beautiful views of the city, mountains, and fjords. ... Read More
Sunday - Aug 17, 2025
Day 6
Honningsvag, Norway
Around mid-morning, we arrive at Honningsvag, the northernmost city in mainland Norway. You have several optional excursions to pick from here. These could include taking a bus or riding a quad to the North Cape, a hike with your Coastal Experience Team, or an introduction to what life is like at 71N. Honningsvag is also the gateway to the North Cape, the northernmost point of Europe. The plateau stands 307 meters above the sea, and is over 990 miles south of the geographical North Pole. Take a moment to gaze out across the sea from a top the soaring cliffs, watching the waves crash against the rocks below. Sailing away from Honningsvag, we'll enjoy dramatic views of the plateau from the sea. The ship will head further into the Barents Sea, leaving mainland Norway's coast far behind us. ... Read More
Monday - Aug 18, 2025
Day 7
Cruising Bear Island, Norway
We spend the penultimate day of your voyage crossing the Barents Sea. In the afternoon, we'll view Bjornoya, the southernmost island of the Svalbard archipelago, from the ship. This inaccessible island sits just past the halfway point between mainland Norway and Spitsbergen. Upon seeing the island, you might notice the lack of trees, and even bushes. Very little grows here, with the land partly being covered only by a layer of moss and lichen. Whatever does grow here is fertilized by the abundant birdlife that nests on the sea cliffs. Get your camera ready to capture little auks, puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and northern fulmars flying over dramatic cliff tops and steep slopes, alongside many other seabird species. Contrary to its name, which means 'Bear Island', the only native mammals are Arctic foxes. The island was named after a polar bear was spotted swimming in the waters nearby, but this is an unlikely sight this far south. ... Read More

Day 8
Longyearbyen, Norway
On the last day of your voyage, we arrive at the Svalbard archipelago and make our way up to Spitsbergen, the largest of the three main islands. Magnificent brown and green mountains rise and ripple up from the High Arctic tundra while rivers of snowmelt trickle through the valley plains, glistening under the summer sun. Take a moment to just be here, now, in Svalbard. You're at a latitude more than 78N and under 1,500 kilometers from the North Pole itself. The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer average between zero and eight degrees Celsius thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream. In early afternoon, we find Longyearbyen nestled on the banks of Isfjord. It's time to disembark the ship, but before you travel home, give yourself plenty of time to explore Longyearbyen. A former coal mining colony, it is the biggest settlement in Svalbard and a hub for adventure travelers, as well as scientists and engineers attached to local research projects, like the famous Global Seed Vault. You've traveled as part of this historic, iconic voyage to pieces of paradise along the Norwegian coast you won't soon forget. ... Read More
