Ultimate Norway – Arctic Expedition under the Northern Lights

From January 2026, the seven-night “Ultimate Norway” expedition will see guests travel to the Lyngen Alps, Lofoten Islands, Vesterålen, and Senja while experiencing the Northern Lights. A special "Ultimate Norway at Christmas" voyage will also be available in late 2026.

The new “Explorer’s Route” voyage offers an unparalleled journey across the Antarctic Peninsula, offering travellers an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the great explorers who originally traversed the Seventh Continent.
