SAIL AMONG THE ARCTIC FJORDS FROM TROMSØ, WATCH WHALES AND NORTHERN LIGHTS ON AN UNFORGETTABLE ARCTIC SAILING ADVENTURE
Embark from Tromsø for a seven-day sailing journey through the Arctic fjords of Norway. Aboard the sailboat, you will experience authentic winter sailing while immersing yourself in landscapes of snowy mountains and crystal-clear waters. Every moment is an opportunity to capture unique photographs and create unforgettable memories.
Along the route, we will sail to areas where herring shoals attract humpback whales and orcas. From the deck, you can witness these marine giants spouting on the horizon. This quiet and respectful observation offers a close encounter with marine wildlife in their natural habitat, far from crowded tourist routes.
At dusk, we anchor in sheltered coves to seek the northern lights. The Arctic sky, free from light pollution, is painted with greens and purples in a celestial spectacle that will take your breath away. You will feel the magic of the lights dancing over the fjords and glaciers as you enjoy the winter tranquility.
Each day aboard involves participating in sailing maneuvers and watch shifts, making you part of the crew. You will learn to raise sails, steer the helm, and handle ropes under the guidance of professional sailors. This immersion in nautical life strengthens the spirit of adventure and connects you to the essence of traditional sailing.
The cabins feature central heating and thermal bedding to ensure your comfort after each day. The onboard menu is designed to keep your energy up: comforting breakfasts, lunches made with local ingredients, and dinners where fresh fish of the day sometimes takes center stage. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to light a bonfire on the beach and share stories with your fellow travelers.
When not whale watching or chasing auroras, you will take short excursions to islands like Spildra or Uløya, where fishing villages invite you to experience traditional saunas and cozy pubs. These cultural stops combine adventure in pristine nature with the warmth of local hospitality, enriching your Arctic experience.
