The scenic viewpoint, Varden, is also worth a visit, with its wonderful vistas across the city. The included activity is a scenic bus trip along the Atlantic Road, one of Norway’s most-visited tourist destinations, spanning eight bridges through picturesque landscapes and across the open sea.

Kristiansund’s location has provided livelihoods in the fishing, shipbuilding and oil industries. Today it’s known as Norway’s ‘dried cod capital’ because of its historic export of dry salted fish.

mountain with a hole in the middle – Torghatten. Join local guides for a historical town walk and visit small-scale producers of local food from the region.

After a day exploring Lofoten, we sail to Trollfjord, an amazing place where vertical mountain walls surrealistically jut out of the sea.

Day 7 Tromsø

Looking for an adventurous winter wonderland? Tromsø is the perfect destination. Choose winter activities like dog-sledging, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Your included activity in Tromsø is a ride into the sky on the Fjellheisen cable car, with breathtaking views of the city, mountains, fjords – and hopefully the Aurora. Tromsø brims with fascinating history, culture and bold architecture. The Arctic Cathedral is a landmark visible from the Tromsø Sound, featuring a huge stained-glass window. Tromsø is so far north that you may see the Northern Lights directly overhead.
