We head far up into the High North. We start our voyage in Bodø, the southern gateway to the Lofoten Islands and northern Norway. Here we are already north of the Arctic Circle. Across the Vestfjord between the Lofoten and the Norwegian mainland we now sail in stages northwards towards Tromsø. In doing so, we not only experience the imposing Lofoten wall at close quarters, but can also get to know the land and its people first-hand during numerous stops. Through the winding waterways north of the Lofoten we then head up to the "Paris of the North". For that is exactly what the Norwegians call the tranquil yet lively Tromsø. Numerous expeditions towards the Arctic and Svalbard set off from here over the past decades. The famous polar explorer Roald Amundsen also departed from here on his last voyage. Much maritime atmosphere and living history also await us in the many museums and exhibitions. Book your berth or cabin now and experience this exceptional adventure on our exclusively equipped expedition yacht POLARIS.

Expected trip itinerary:

We sail with POLARIS from Bodø through the Vestfjorden northwards. On numerous stops amidst the fascinatingly beautiful Lofoten archipelago you will then experience Nordic nature and way of life at close quarters. Depending on wind and weather our route then takes us either through the wonderful fjords of northern Norway or around the outside of the island of Senja. With Tromsø we finally reach the centre of the North. From here you travel back to Germany comfortably by air. Depending on weather and schedule it may be necessary to cover longer sections of the journey under engine as well. Total distance: approx. 250 nautical miles.

This extraordinary trip will be led by one of our experienced professional skippers.
