Cruise Description
Our team have planned this adventure to visit northern Norway during the Northern Lights season, giving you the opportunity to spot the natural phenomenon of dancing lights from the comfort of Balmoral and also ashore in Alta during an extended stay. As well as ticking off the experience of crossing the Arctic Circle, you will get to witness remote coastal scenery as you cruise pass the Seven Sisters mountain range and sail through the Tjeldsundet Strait – this scenic shortcut is only possible on smaller ships like Balmoral. Spending time with a Sámi community in the remote Arctic wilderness and visiting a husky yard offer the chance to learn about local culture and traditions. You'll be joined on this cruise by astronomers and experts from Go Stagazing, who will hold informative sessions out on deck to help you with spotting planets in the night sky.
