Norway Program 2025:
Day 1: Spain / Tromsø – The Arctic Magic Begins
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! From Spain, we’ll fly to Tromsø, the vibrant gateway to the Arctic. Upon arrival, a comfortable Airport Express bus will take you directly to your hotel. Once you’ve dropped off your luggage, the rest of the day is yours to explore at your own pace. How about a stroll through this charming city? Its energy, even in winter, is contagious. As night falls, a restful sleep at the hotel will prepare you for the excitement of the days ahead.
Day 2: Tromsø / M/V Quest Cruise – Heights, Nature, and Northern Lights
The true adventure begins today! After breakfast, we’ll take a regular transfer to the cable car that will whisk us to the summit of Mount Storsteinen, 421 meters above sea level. The panoramic views of Tromsø, with its islands, fjords, and mountains, will leave you speechless. If you’re feeling active, you can explore nearby trails or opt for an optional snowshoe hike. In the afternoon, enjoy some free time to relax or continue exploring this unique city. As night approaches, we’ll meet in central Tromsø to transfer to the port and board a whale-watching boat. After a delightful onboard dinner, we’ll attend a talk about the phenomenon of the Northern Lights. With some luck, we’ll witness an unforgettable light show. Tonight, we’ll sleep to the gentle sway of the sea.
Day 3: M/V Quest Cruise / Tromsø – Whale Safari and More Marine Adventures
Half-board onboard. The day starts with an introduction to the species of cetaceans inhabiting these waters, such as orcas, humpback whales, sperm whales, and more. Then comes one of the most thrilling moments of the trip: a whale-watching safari from the boat. Keep your camera ready because every moment will be worth capturing. At midday, we’ll enjoy lunch onboard while cruising through spectacular fjords. Later, a presentation on seabirds will deepen your appreciation for the natural richness of this region. After a light snack, the ship will return to Tromsø port around 6:00 PM, where you can make your way back to the hotel to rest after a day full of excitement.
Day 4: Tromsø – Arctic Fun and Aurora Hunting
After a revitalizing breakfast, the day is yours to explore and enjoy optional activities. Choose from dog sledding, snowmobiling through snowy landscapes, or venturing into nature with snowshoes. What will you choose? At 6:00 PM, we’ll embark on another unforgettable adventure: hunting the Northern Lights. A bus will take us to the best spots to witness this phenomenon. Tromsø is one of the world’s most privileged locations to see the Northern Lights, but patience is key since they appear when least expected. While we wait, our guide will share fascinating stories about life in the Arctic. After a magical night, we’ll return to the hotel filled with unforgettable memories.
