Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Welcome to Edinburgh. Transfer to Leith where passengers board Scenic Eclipse to start the cruise to the Arctic. Meet the Captain, crew, and the Discovery Team before setting sail for the adventure.
Please book a flight to arrive in Edinburgh prior to 02:00 PM.
Today, relax on board. With the many choices available on board, one will be surprised at how quickly time passes. Choose one of the daily activities, join an entertaining discussion in the theatre, or immerse oneself in the Nordic bathing experiences.
The most northerly point of the British Isles, Lerwick's waterfront is lined with sandstone buildings dating back to the 18th century. The sound of traditional Shetland music can often be heard while walking through the twisting lanes of this charming harbour town
Cruise to Norway's second-largest city, the Hanseatic fishing port of Bergen, surrounded by seven hills. One of the prettiest cities in Norway, Bergen dates back to the 12th century. Admire the many multi-coloured wooden buildings, by far the most iconic sight to greet any visitor to Bergen. As a UNESCO World Heritage City and a European City of Culture, the Bergen region has an ideal balance of nature, culture, and urban life.
Cruise along Sognefjord, the largest fjord in Norway, and one will soon see why it deserves the nickname of 'King of the Fjords'. At its deepest, Sognefjord plunges more than 1,300 meters while the spectacular mountains rise on either side. Pass through the village of Vikoyri before making to the village of Flam in the heart of the fjord.
Be greeted by a beautiful stretch of coastline, spectacular mountains and valleys, rolling farmland, and the biggest glacier in Europe. The view is sure to steal one's breath. The mountains in Nordfjord plunge from altitudes of a few thousand meters, straight down into the fjord and the ocean, creating magnificent waterfalls.
Situated in the inner Geirangerfjord, Geiranger is one of Norway's most beautiful sights surrounded by steep mountains on either side of the fjord. It is listed as one of the most beautiful fjords in the world and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Take in the magnificent surroundings bedecked with cliffs, mountains, and tranquil lakes.
Named after Norse mythology, Froya is the goddess of love and beauty. See rolling hillsides blanketed in vibrant purple heather, Scandinavian architecture scattered along the rocky coastline, and calm, sheltered inlets ready for exploration.
The second largest glacier in Norway will astound with its 370 square kilometers and shades of blue in the ice formations. It is also the lowest glacier in mainland Europe at just 20 meters above sea level, making it accessible for nature-based experiences.
Cruise along the Lofoten Islands, with dramatic peaks, sheltered coves, and pristine beaches. The archipelago is a visual feast to explore and discover. This rare wilderness offers breathtaking scenery surrounded by majestic mountains, deep fjords, seabird colonies, and picturesque fishing villages. Have morning coffee outside in the Panorama Bar and watch as the expert Captain maneuvers the ship past massive walls of mountains rising from the sea.
Day 11: Tromso | Disembark
1 Breakfast
Known as the cultural hub of the Arctic, Tromso sits 400km above the Arctic Circle in the land of the Midnight Sun. Surprisingly cosmopolitan for its remote location, during the summer Tromso is full of locals basking in the sunlight, tucking into fresh seafood on the docks, enjoying a drink at the world's most northern brewery, or taking a dip in the refreshing waters of the local beach. The cruise ends this morning after breakfast. Say farewell to the crew and disembark Scenic Eclipse for the journey home.
Please book a flight to depart from Tromso after 12:00 PM.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
Cruse ship was great. Fantastic food and service. Cruise itinary got changed so not what we expected, but not an major issue. Japan portion was great. Drivers/guides arranged by 80 Days were great. Hotels were mostly ok. Did not know that most hotels outside of major cities do not allow shoes to be worn in the hotel. again a minor inconvenience. Overall a great trip. Adventure Life communications were timely and much appreciated as far as changes/requests.

We were a group of three that initiated our research by independently searching for the best agency to help us in the somewhat complex experience of traveling to the Galapagos. We chose adventure life because they were the most responsive in the website provided the most comprehensive overview of the trip. Their reviews were also very good.
Adventure, life splits up its booking process in two parts. First Jeff, the booking agent helped us decide which experience best suited are interests. We chose a small 14 to 16 group sized yacht. Once the booking was made with Jeff, we were handed off to Coleene, who oversaw the complex process of assembling all of the necessary documents and making sure we had everything we needed to make the trip go smoothly. The adventure, life website, then becomes your personal place of reference for all things related to your trip from door to door. It’s a lot of information to assemble, especially for three travelers, but the website makes it easy and Colleen‘s gentle reminders kept us on track. In all, from the beginning, we had four months from the time we started our research till the time we departed. We felt that was, a good amount of preparation time and don’t think it would be wise to do it in less than four months. Mostly because I think you have more options with that amount of time. There were others on our trip that took six months and more from the time they started planning.
The trip itself was outstanding. We ended up on an excellent yacht (Galapagos Angel II) with a great group of guests that we were able to connect with and put together a really nice google photos album to share.

I enjoyed working with Jess to put together a private N.Z. trip. Jess has been my go-to person at Adventure Life over the past several years. She listens to what my husband and I want in a trip, and is always responsive to questions. Nothing seems to be too much of a bother for Jess.
