Lofoten Islands are considered as one of most beautiful islands in the world! In winter, the weather changes rapidly in the Lofoten Islands. These abrupt changes create magnificent lights that have inspired artists, drawn to the region for decades.

Discover the archipelago of the Lofoten Islands known for its turquoise waters. The region offers a striking glimpse of rugged mountains, sheer peaks, countless islands and islets, sweeter landscapes at sea level, fast-flowing rivers, and beautiful fjords. For generations, these islands have excited the imagination of travelers who dream of admiring their wild landscapes and aspire to a simple and natural way of life. The influence of the Gulf Stream makes temperatures much milder than they normally are at these latitudes!

Visiting the old fishing villages is a moment of continuous discovery from a historical point of view and a permanent invitation to photography. You will visit locations, such as Kabelvåg, Henningsvær, Laupstad and Gimsøy. Pick-up and drop-off from and to your accommodation are included.

Today is at leisure. As an optional activity, you can choose a snowshoe excursion to the most beautiful spots of the archipelago. In a small group, you put on snowshoes and off you go on the small snowy trails of Lofoten. You explore the region’s pristine nature and enjoy the silence that surrounds you. A snack break will allow you to warm up along the way before resuming your hike in the countryside!

At the end of the day, private transfer to the Hurtigruten dock and boarding to the coastal express towards Tromsø. Be sure to spend some time on the ship deck – maybe you will be able to spot the Northern Lights. At sea, far from any light pollution, the phenomenon is incredible when reflected on the water!

You spend most of the day sailing along the coast of breathtaking Vesterålen and Senja Islands towards Tromsø.

At the end of the 19th century, road connections were non-existent in Northern Norway, and it took no less than 3 weeks in summer and 5 months in winter to send a letter from Trondheim to Hammerfest!

A merchant marine captain, Richard With, took up the challenge of the idea of a maritime line between these two cities, on behalf of a young shipping company which signed, in May 1893, a 4-year contract. Everywhere along the way, the ship and the crew were greeted with celebrations: a national institution has just been born and the Coastal Express shipping line, HURTIGRUTEN, immediately became part of the national heritage. Today, the 34 stops (on the full cruise) are connected daily, day and night, summer, and winter, by 11 ships, each making the round trip in 11 days.

You will disembark in the afternoon and check-in at your hotel.
