From The Northern Lights and The Midnight Sun to the tranquil harmony of autumn and the freshness of spring, the Norwegian voyages help you experience the country at its best.

Classic Spring Voyages

In spring the sun returns to rejuvenate the Norwegian shores and temperatures begin rising as life returns to the land. Days become longer and springtime colours infuse the landscape as the Arctic grip recedes. At this time, interesting presentations will be held and activities arranged both on board and on land. You can choose between a 6, 7, 11 and 12-day spring cruise. The ports that are visited by night on the Voyage North are visited by day on the Voyage South. In the larger towns and cities you will have plenty of time to go ashore or join the varied excursions.
