Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Embark on your journey in Oslo, Norway's capital city. From music and museums to peaceful forest explorations and charming neighborhoods, Oslo offers all travelers a diverse range of experiences. The city features cutting-edge architecture, including the iconic Oslo Public Library. Thanks to its reputation as a green city, Oslo is easily navigable by foot or bike, making it perfect for intimate explorations. The Historical Museum houses numerous artifacts from the Middle Ages and prehistoric times. As one of the cities with the highest number of concerts per capita in Europe, Oslo always has an event to immerse into local culture.
The heath and dune landscapes of Skagen inspired many artists in the mid-19th century, and you can see these charming paintings in the Skagens Museum. At Grenen Beach, find one of the few unorganized areas of Denmark. The wild beauty of the Kattegat and Skagerrak clashing makes it a striking locale to explore. Just northeast of Skagen in Jutland stands the Skagen Lighthouse. A captivating structure designed by Niels Sigfred Nebelong, it replaced Skagen’s original lighthouse in 1958. It’s a simple construct that embodies the nature of Denmark’s culture and invites visitors to take a photo op.
Spend the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some time on deck. Mingle with fellow explorers and swap stories of your exploits, making plans for new ones once you get to shore.
Sitting on the island of Vagsoy, the village of Maloy contains striking beaches of silver sand and a longstanding history of fishing. As a significant source of Norway’s beloved seafood, you can find local favorites such as crab-stuffed sandwiches, cod and chips, and fish soup here. Once you’ve fueled up on regional cuisine, venture out to the 10-foot-tall Kannesteinen rock. Its unique shape has been compared to a whale fluke or a blooming mushroom, but regardless of what you think it looks like, it leaves an impression. Gather your fellow history buffs for a visit to the Maloy Raid Center, where you can learn about the Allies’ operation that led to a strategic World War II victory. The village’s four lighthouses beckon you to discover stunning scenes as they overlook rugged cliffs that plunge into the sea. Steeped in legends of a Viking king, Maloy inspires the imagination and invites you to connect with a piece of the past.

The small fishing town of Leknes amid the breathtaking Lofoten Islands offers an unexpected culinary adventure. From the commonly found stockfish to wine varieties made from blueberries and mountain fruits, there’s a unique flavor for every foodie profile. Venturing to the outskirts of town on the fjord shores, find local wooden crafts, paintings, and hand-spun textiles for an authentic memento to take home. About eight miles north of Leknes, you can discover Norwegian history at the Lofotr Viking Museum, which includes a replica of a Viking chieftain’s longhouse.
Nestled in the heart of Norway's Troms County, Finnsnes is a charming gateway to the magical wilderness of Senja Island. Picture yourself wandering through its quaint streets lined with colorful wooden houses, their old-world architecture standing as a testament to centuries of rich history and maritime culture. The town serves as your portal to the unblemished natural beauty of Northern Norway. Whether you're joining a local fisherman for an Arctic adventure or savoring freshly caught seafood at a waterfront eatery, Finnsnes offers an intimate and genuine taste of Norwegian life. Just a short journey from Finnsnes lies Senja Island, often described as Norway's best-kept secret. This island is a treasure trove of untamed wonder, where fjords carve through dramatic cliffs and lush forests surrender to pristine beaches. Known as the "Fairytale Island," Senja's landscape is nothing short of a dreamscape - rugged yet serene, majestic yet tranquil. Delve into the region's unique wildlife, where you might spot playful otters, reclusive lynx, or magnificent eagles gracing the sky.
This village in the North Cape on the island of Mageroya claims to be the northernmost fishing village in the world. Rolling hills of green, magnificent arctic fjords, and an untamed natural beauty make it a stunning stop off the beaten path. Rugged cliffs are home to thousands of cormorants, puffins, and gannets. While few people inhabit the village, you are likely to come across wild reindeer that may venture close to town. Within the village of Skarsvag sits the Christmas and Winter House, a cozy visitors’ attraction where you can experience the holiday year-round with a hot drink and slice of cake as you peruse the local wares and handicrafts and enjoy an atmosphere of dazzling decorations and festive music.
Even in one of the most isolated regions of the Arctic, there is still the captivating history of a pioneering past. Your expedition leaders, Captain, and the onboard pilot will determine possible landings each day for all-out explorations. Wildlife abounds throughout the archipelago of Svalbard, including puffins, reindeer, Arctic terns, and foxes. An expert photographer will help you look out for the perfect photo opportunity of these animals, but especially for the elusive polar bear. As Zodiac cruises may bring you closer to glaciers, keep your eyes on the water for whale fins.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE — Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs, and changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with spontaneous exploration as your Captain works with your expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience for all guests.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
