Tromsø, Norway
Welcome to Tromsø! If the time allows before embarkation, take the opportunity to look around and explore.
As you admire the striking architecture of the Arctic Cathedral and Polaria Aquarium overlooking Tromsø Sound, you may get the sense that this city, 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle, has an edgy streak. This should come as no surprise in a place where the sun never sets – or rises – depending on the month. The area’s biggest draw is its majestic fjords and mountains, an untouched wilderness that you can explore by boat, bus, foot and more. At the Polar Museum, you’ll discover what it takes to survive in the Arctic, and at the Roald Amundsen Monument, you’ll witness a city that honors the lives – and death – of those who live on the edge.
Embarkation will commence from 1PM. The ship will then depart at 6PM.

Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen), Norway

More than half of Spitsbergen is covered with glaciers, the ideal landscape for viewing the abundant reindeer, especially since your ship calls here during the Midnight Sun, when daylight lasts through the evening. Discovered by the Vikings in the 12th century, Spitsbergen enjoys a comparatively mild climate due to the Gulf Stream, so you should be comfortable outdoors taking in the spectacular scenery. The main town of Longyearbyen, one of the world's northernmost, was founded in 1906 to accommodate the coal mining industry.

Delight in the candy-colored buildings of the Siglufjörður Marina, home to excellent restaurants, and watch the daily catch being pulled into the harbor. The Herring Era Museum provides an intriguing glimpse at the triumphs and challenges of the local fishing industry through the ages, and the popular Segull67 Brewery is the perfect setting in which to absorb the town’s everyday life.
