SKETCH ITINERARY
| Day 1: | Kirkenes - Berlevåg: Capital of the Barents Region. Start your Classic Voyage South in the far northern town of Kirkenes (which, surprisingly, lies further east than Istanbul). |
| Day 2: | Mehamn - Tromsø: Arctic magic and music. North Cape - 71 degrees north - We make a late night stop at Mehamn. During winter, you can join an amazing snowmobile trip here, through the vast Arctic wilderness. Experience snowy plains and valleys, crisp winter air and very possibly the Northern Lights in the starry sky above. |
| Day 3: | Tromsø - Stamsund: History and culture. This morning, we arrive at Harstad, where you can join one of our classic excursions - A Taste of Vesterålen. Discover history, beautiful scenery, and cultural heritage sites on this tour that rejoins the ship at Sortland. |
| Day 4: | Bodø - Rørvik: A date with the Seven Sisters. Trolls and mountains. Crossing the Arctic Circle is an important ‘rite of passage’. Today we celebrate the occasion on deck with a taste of Arctic tradition – a spoonful of cod liver oil. |
| Day 5: | Trondheim - Ålesund: Gothic majesty and hidden lake. Trondheim - Today you have a chance to explore the wooden city of history: Trondheim. Be sure to visit the majestic Nidaros Cathedral, built over the burial site of King Olav II who reigned from 1015 to 1028. |

Ålesund - Bergen: Our return to Bergen; Night-time stops. During the night, the ship calls at Ålesund, Torvik and Måløy, as our voyage draws to a close. Before docking in Bergen, there is fascinating scenery to see, including picturesque Nordfjord beneath Jostedal Glacier. Here the fjord widens to the east and forges 90 km inland. |
