Boreal Cruise - Head for Norway's Lyngen mountains on a heritage sailing ship

Your cruise

Hunt for the northern lights and discover Norway's Lyngen Alps, beyond the Arctic Circle, aboard a traditional sailing yacht listed as a historical monument. This area offers spectacular, majestic scenery, with mountains tumbling straight into the fjords. During this cruise, you'll take part in maneuvers supervised by our crew.

You'll find yourself anchored in snow-covered fjords, the only ones of their kind in the world. You'll be able to visit and hike on your own at the foot of the mountains. Whenever the opportunity arises, take advantage of the opportunity to warm up in the sauna set up in small cabins on the fjord floor. Once night falls - around 4pm at this time of year - you can start tracking the northern lights from the boat's deck.

Return trip from Tromsø, one of the world's most northerly cities.
