Itinerary

Day 1: Start Oslo

God dag! That’s good day in Norwegian and it’s definitely a good day for an Arctic adventure, as we meet our Manager and Contiki crew to say ‘Hei’ here in the Norwegian capital. Oslo is a riverside metropolis back-dropped by mountains and filled with easy-going culture. We’ll head to Vippa, a trendy outdoor food market on the waterfront, known for its diverse and sustainable foodie treats.

Day 2: Oslo to Tromso

Bye Oslo! Today we’re taking a train to the airport and soaring over toTromsø, our gateway toArctic Circle.Located at nearly 70° north, Tromsø is famed as a viewing point for the colourful Northern Lightsand distinguished by its centuries-old wooden houses and the stu...

Day 3: Tromso

Even though the sun doesn’t rise, you’ll need to be ready to rise and shine for some Arctic action this morning. This is your chance to immerse yourself in local culture with an optional MAKE TRAVEL MATTER™ Sámi Experience. Visit a Sámi camp, be welcomed into a lavvo-...

Day 4: Tromso to Overnight Cruise

Wake up to fresh Arctic air and a free morning. For panoramic views of the city, maybe ride the cable car up to Mount Storsteinen or, for the more adventurous, reach the top by climbing the 1200 stone steps of the Sherpa staircase. If you energetic this morning you co...

Day 5: Overnight Cruise via Honningsvåg

Ahoy! We hope the ship rocked you soundly to sleep. This morning we sail through the Magerøysund sound and after an early stop in Hammerfest, we arrive in Honningsvåg. From here, you can join an excursion to the spectacular North Cape, the northernmost point of Europe...

Day 6: Overnight Cruise to Kirkenes

The last port on our voyage northward is Kirkenes. Located at 30°E, we’re now further east than Istanbul! The Russian border is close by, and all signs are written in both Norwegian and Russian.Kirkenes is famous as the home of the first snow hotel, made completely of...

Day 7: Kirkenes to Oslo

By now you should be completely chilled. But pull on your mittens and make the most of our last full day, with time to explore Kirkenes before we head to the airport. In the centre of town you’ll find the Russia monument and the Wartime Mothers monument, which were er...

Day 8: End Oslo

It’s cold outside but our hearts are full of warm and lasting memories as we say our goodbyes after breakfast. The Norwegians have an expression meaning ‘see you soon’ - ‘Sees!’
