From wintertime landscapes to its native people, the treasures of Arctic Norway are yours to encounter on this cruise. What’s more, we’ve timed your visit to Northern Norway for the chance to spot the elusive Northern Lights while at sea and during an extended stay in Alta. Ashore, there are chances to spend time with local Sámi communities; meet friendly huskies and gain an insight into the tradition of husky sledding; and capture the views from atop Tromsø’s Mount Storsteinen. As well as experiencing the maritime tradition of crossing the Arctic Circle, Balmoral will take a scenic shortcut via the Tjeldsundet Strait, only possible on smaller ships, and sail past the Seven Sisters mountains. You'll be joined on this cruise by experts from Go Stargazing, who will hold informal sessions out on deck to help you discover more about other planets, galaxies and constellations.
