Exploration | Arctic, Iceland, Greenland & Norway


This exploration takes Boudicca through the remarkable remoteness of Norway’s Northern Cape, across the Arctic Circle, and towards the isolated islands of Svalbard. Share the eerie experience of the abandoned ghost town of Pyramiden; visit breathtaking glaciers and the ice-carved heights of Tempelfjorden; and meet with curious huskies on an exhilarating sled ride. This remote, yet spellbinding journey is packed with ‘must do’ experiences.


Pyramiden Rauma Railway


Svalbard


Spitsbergen


After a couple of days of relaxed cruising north, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the incredible mountain landscape of the Romsdalsfjord. The fjord’s main town, Åndalsnes, is often referred to as the ‘Alp town by the fjord’ and is, understandably, one of Norway’s most popular locations for sightseers. Many visitors to Åndalsnes take the Rauma Railway into the mountains to gorge on the amazing views.


On from here, the edge of the Arctic looms. You cruise past Nærøysundet and the isolated village of Rørvik, the extraordinary phenomenon of Torghatten – the ‘mountain with the hole’ – and the soaring Seven Sisters mountain range. Crossing the Arctic Circle, there’s another day’s sailing to enjoy before arriving into the rugged landscapes of Honningsvåg – gateway to the North Cape and the spectacular Midnight Sun.


The curiously constant sun stays with you as you head for Spitsbergen, the largest and only permanently populated island of the glorious Svalbard archipelago in northern Norway. The remoteness of this collection of islands, just 700 nautical miles from the


Nordenskiöldbreen Glacier


North Pole, makes for a mesmerising experience. Exploring the communities of Pyramiden and Longyearbyen – abandoned Soviet mining towns that recall the region’s rich industrial past – is totally absorbing. A trek along the Longyear Valley is the chance to search for a unique holiday souvenir: a 60-million-year-old plant fossil. A husky buggy ride is an alternative way to explore the region.


There are two splendid days of cruising around this amazing archipelago, with the chance to see the magnificent Nordenskiöldbreen and Tuna glaciers, as well as the jaw-dropping stratifications of Tempelfjorden’s ‘Temple’ mountain – a favourite sunbathing spot for Ringed Seals. The sweeping skyline of Tromsø, the next destination, is dominated by centuries-old wooden houses and the soaring stained-glass windows of its Arctic Cathedral. While here you may opt to savour the view from the top of Mount Storsteinen, with the welcome aid of the cable car. Boudicca’s final port of call is a former European Capital of Culture, Stavanger, a vibrant city that oozes fascinating old town charm, capping off this truly sensational voyage.
