This 5 day short break travels to the northern most regions of the magnificent Norwegian coastline. The entire journey is spent above the Arctic Circle, offering a unique chance to experience the spellbinding Midnight Sun when travelling in July.
Your journey begins in Tromsø, with a leisurely voyage north. We then head to the sheltered harbour of Kirkenes, a mere 10km from the Russian border. The return journey from Kirkenes to Tromsø hugs the coastline and you will revisit remote settlements which rely on Hurtigruten ships to maintain contact with the rest of Norway. During this voyage, there are opportunities to join excursions to the North Cape or a trip to the Russian border.
