The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
A dedicated local aurora expert drives you deep into the Arctic wilderness, away from light pollution, to witness the Northern Lights in real-time. This private chase adapts to cloud cover and solar activity — the ultimate bucket-list sky spectacle.
Take the reins of your own husky sled team and mush through pristine Arctic wilderness outside Tromsø. Feel the raw exhilaration of driving a pack of champion huskies across snow-covered landscapes — a genuine Arctic adventure.
Board a small vessel into the icy Tromsø fjord to haul up traps teeming with colossal Norwegian King Crab. What you catch, you eat — cooked and served aboard with Arctic accompaniments. A true taste of the High North.
Soar above the Arctic capital on the Fjernsynsfjellet cable car for jaw-dropping 360° views of fjords, islands and the Lyngen Alps, then cross the iconic Tromsø Bridge to photograph the Arctic Cathedral — Norway's most striking modern church.
Step inside a traditional Sámi lavvu tent in the Arctic wilderness, feed a herd of reindeer by hand, and hear the ancient stories of the indigenous people of the High North from a genuine Sámi host. Profound, intimate and unlike anything else.
Speed into the Arctic fjords aboard a powerful RIB (rigid inflatable boat) to seek humpback and sperm whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters off Tromsø — one of the world's most accessible whale-watching destinations. Raw, close-up and breathtaking.
