LOFOTEN – Tromsø to Bodø – PO-16-09-2027-R

The starting point of our voyage is the "Paris of the North". For that is exactly what Norwegians call the tranquil yet lively Tromsø. Over the past decades, countless expeditions to the Arctic and Svalbard have set off from here. The famous polar explorer Roald Amundsen also departed from here on his final journey. So plenty of maritime atmosphere and living history awaits us. Through the partly open but also narrow inside passages and fjords of northern Norway, we now continue southwards towards the Lofoten Islands. The famous mountain range undoubtedly belongs to the most beautiful and at the same time oldest landscapes on our planet. Rugged mountains, deep fjords, pristine nature and not least a fascinating wildlife are just some of the highlights that await you on this voyage. And because we will certainly have darker nights in September, the chances of observing the world-famous Aurora Borealis are not bad. Last but not least, you will experience this adventure not on just any vessel, but on our exclusively equipped expedition yacht POLARIS. An experience you will treasure for a long time to come.

Expected trip itinerary:

We sail with POLARIS from Tromsø along the wildly rugged fjord landscapes of northern Norway heading south. On numerous stopovers in the midst of the fascinatingly beautiful landscape, you will experience Nordic nature and way of life first-hand. With the imposing Lofoten Wall always in view, we finally reach the Arctic Circle centre of Bodø. From here you can comfortably continue your homeward or onward journey by air or ferry. Depending on weather and schedule, it may be necessary to cover longer sections of the voyage under engine. Total distance: approx. 260 nautical miles.

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