  1. Day 1

    Tromso, Norway

    Tromsø puts the Arctic within easy reach, yet its cafés, galleries and university give the city a lively, modern pulse. Set on an island above the Arctic Circle, it is linked to the mainland by a bridge and tunnel. Visit the Polar Museum and the Arctic Cathedral. Ride the Fjellheisen cable car for views across mountains and sea. In winter, the northern lights may appear overhead.

  2. Day 2

    Narvik, Norway

    Narvik occupies a striking position on Ofotfjord, where steep mountains rise directly from the water. Built to carry iron ore from Sweden’s mines, the Ofoten Railway now offers a memorable journey through mountain country. Narvik’s wartime story is equally present, with museums and surviving sites recalling the 1940 battles. Come for fjord scenery, rail history and a northern town shaped by both.

  3. Day 3

    Svolvaer, Norway

    Svolvær is the lively heart of the Lofoten Islands, where jagged peaks rise straight from the harbour. Step ashore to find fishing boats, waterfront galleries and cafés serving local seafood. The town is a useful base for exploring the islands’ fishing villages and Arctic scenery. In summer, take a boat trip to Trollfjord; in winter, look skyward for the northern lights. Above town, the twin pinnacles of Svolværgeita define the skyline.

  4. Day 3

    Lofoten Islands, Norway

    Beyond the Arctic Circle, Lofoten rises from the Norwegian Sea in a chain of steep peaks and sheltered bays. Red-painted fishing cabins, known as rorbuer, stand beside harbours where cod has shaped life for centuries. Roads and bridges link villages such as Reine and Henningsvær, while ferries connect the islands with the mainland. Come for the scenery, but leave time for a shoreline walk, a gallery, or a plate of freshly caught seafood.

  5. Day 3

    Stokmarknes, Norway

    Stokmarknes sits on Hadseløya in Vesterålen, where mountains rise above sheltered northern waters. It is the birthplace of Norway’s coastal express, launched here by Richard With in 1893. At the Hurtigruten Museum, the preserved 1956 ship MS Finnmarken stands inside a glass structure. Walk the compact waterfront, then look beyond town to the islands and open sea that shaped its seafaring life.

  6. Day 4

    Harstad, Norway

    Harstad sits on Hinnøya, Norway’s largest island, where the Vågsfjord opens toward the Vesterålen islands. Begin at Trondenes, a striking medieval stone church with a history reaching back to the 13th century. Nearby, the Trondenes Historical Centre and the immense Adolf Gun reveal the region’s wartime past. From the harbour, explore the town’s waterfront or set out for mountain scenery and island roads. Summer brings the midnight sun; in winter, dark skies may reward patient visitors with northern lights.

  7. Day 5

    Alta, Norway

    Alta is a small town in Norway’s far north, set at the head of Altafjord. Its position beneath the auroral oval draws winter visitors hoping to see the northern lights. At the Alta Museum, UNESCO-listed rock art offers a glimpse of life here as far back as 7,000 years ago. In summer, long daylight opens the Finnmark plateau to walks and scenic drives. Sámi traditions, including reindeer husbandry, shape the wider region.

  8. Day 7

    Honningsvag, Norway

    Honningsvåg sits on Magerøya, above the Arctic Circle, where fishing boats share the harbour with expedition ships. From here, a road crosses open tundra to the North Cape plateau, about 35 kilometres away. At 71° north, the light becomes the main event: midnight sun in summer, polar night in winter. Walk the small town, then seek king crab, coastal views and stories of life near Europe’s edge.

  9. Day 8

    Tromso, Norway

    Tromsø puts the Arctic within easy reach, yet its cafés, galleries and university give the city a lively, modern pulse. Set on an island above the Arctic Circle, it is linked to the mainland by a bridge and tunnel. Visit the Polar Museum and the Arctic Cathedral. Ride the Fjellheisen cable car for views across mountains and sea. In winter, the northern lights may appear overhead.
