NEW: Ocean CruisingChase the Northern Lights and beyond in the Arctic Circle.
DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE INCLUDED*
If you’re looking to experience Norway during ‘light winter’ where the days are longer, the skies are crisp and the chance of snow is high, March is the ideal time for an Arctic adventure. Explore quaint Arctic towns, enjoy thrilling winter activities, experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the northern wilderness and search for the elusive Northern Lights. This is a journey beyond the ordinary, where Norway adopts that typical Arctic postcard aesthetic that you need to see to truly appreciate.
But this itinerary is about much more than a winter wonderland backdrop. Each port is carefully selected for its history, culture and outdoor adventure, and with longer daylight hours there’s plenty of time to explore ashore. Of course, the opportunity to seek out the Northern Lights is very much part of the picture as the evening draws in, even if the odd snow shower means the sky can be a bit more unpredictable.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Haugesund
Haugesund, Norway, reveals a coastal cityscape entwined with Viking history and contemporary allure. Enjoy yourself amidst this bustling Norwegian destination along the North Sea, with scenic viewpoints and historic sites. In March, it’s common for a fresh dusting of snow to complement Haugesund’s waterside streets.
Tromsø
Once the starting point for many Arctic expeditions, Tromsø now offers a rich cultural scene, vibrant festivals and stunning fjord landscapes. March brings beautiful conditions to the city, with longer daylight hours to enjoy a relaxed cable car ride to the mountain top, snowshoeing or dog sledding across the snowy terrain for a more exhilarating activity. Tromsø is renowned as one of the best ports in Norway for spotting the Northern Lights, so keep your eyes peeled as the evening draws in.
Alta
Known as the City of Northern Lights, Alta is a key port for any Arctic sailing. Marvel at the Northern Lights cathedral, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow, spend time with a local Sami family to learn about their traditions and experience Alta’s igloo hotel built entirely out of snow and ice. This time of year creates an idyllic snowy scene in Alta, coupled with the possibility of an aurora sighting above the snow-laden paths.
Harstad
Harstad offers some of the best of Norway's history, culture and natural beauty. Explore historic churches and fortifications, visit an underground waterpark and have the chance to enjoy breathtaking scenery under the Northern Lights (if conditions allow!). A layer of snow settled across the landscape makes March a particularly striking time to explore the town’s historic sites and take in the views.
Narvik
Narvik is a standout Norwegian destination. With snow common in March, you’ll likely have the chance to cross country ski at nearby Narvikfjellet, or if you’re looking for something more relaxed, take a saunter along the frosted shores of Sandvika. Whatever your holiday style, Narvik offers an array of cultural, culinary and outdoor activities.
