Aug 11 Tromso, Norway Depart: 8:00PM
Tromso, Norway
Not only will you witness magnificent fjords and glaciers throughout Tromsø, Norway, but you will also immerse yourself in a sophisticated cultural life and architectural delights. A superb example of blending the built environment with the natural setting is the Arctic Cathedral, an architectural marvel made up of aluminum-coated concrete panels, making it a stunning façade resembling an iceberg. To see the real icebergs, all you have to do is take the Fjellheisen cable car 1,525 feet above sea level for incredible views of the Norwegian fjords. You can also stroll around the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden, visit the Science Centre of Northern Norway or gain new knowledge at the city’s museums including the Polar Museum, Tromsø University Museum, and Perspektivet Museum.
Aug 12 Trollfjord- Scenic Navigation
Trollfjord- Scenic Navigation
Grab your camera and binoculars and find your favorite spot aboard World Navigator, because you are in for an unforgettable scenic navigation of this less-traveled fjord. While the western fjords are known for their size, Trollfjord is only a mile long and extremely narrow, especially at its entrance. Your captain will expertly position the ship at the perfect angles to maximize your viewing pleasure. Perhaps even close enough to the waterfalls for you to feel the mist. Look up and you may catch sight of the white-tailed eagles soaring overhead. In addition to the feathered variety of wildlife, you might also see various species of whales, porpoises, basking sharks and seals in the water.
Aug 13 Leknes, Lofoten Islands, Norway Arrive: 8:00AM Depart: 8:00PM
Leknes, Lofoten Islands, Norway
The small fishing town of Leknes amid the breathtaking Lofoten Islands offers an unexpected culinary adventure. From the commonly found stockfish to wine varieties made from blueberries and mountain fruits, there’s a unique flavor for every foodie profile. Venturing to the outskirts of town on the fjord shores, find local wooden crafts, paintings and hand-spun textiles for an authentic memento to take home. About eight miles north of Leknes discover Norwegian history at the Lofotr Viking Museum, including a replica of a Viking chieftain’s longhouse.
Aug 14 Inside Passage - Scenic Navigation Arrive: 8:00AM OVERNIGHT
Inside Passage – Scenic Navigation
Traversing the waterways throughout the famous fjords, you come across Norway’s Inside Passage. Rocky landscapes on the horizon with an endless sea of grass greet you as you look to the horizon.
