12 Night In Search of the Northern Lights Cruise

Cruise Segment of Itinerary

Sunday - Feb 22, 2026
Day
1
Bergen, Norway
  • Bergen, Norway
Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Bergen is home to the Hanseatic League's only kontor (trading enclave) still in existence. Bryggen wharf, a row of timbered Hanseatic warehouses along a quaint quay, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow wooden walkways are flanked by parallel rows of small, vibrantly painted buildings overlooking the picturesque Vagen Harbor. This is perhaps the most charming district of Bergen and a delight to explore, from its tight-knit community of workshops, where artisans sell their wares, to its cafes, where freshly prepared smorbrod, or open-faced sandwiches, are on the menu. ...

Bergen, Norway
  • Bergen, Norway
Bergen, an ancient city with deep Viking roots, is nestled between gargantuan snowcapped mountains, magnificent fjords, and one of Europe's largest glaciers. Founded in 1070 on what was a Viking settlement, Bergen is the second-largest city in Norway. Not to be missed is a stroll through the Fisketorget, where the fresh catch of the sea awaits-from cod and prawns to local caviar and icy oysters. ...

Coastal Navigation, United States
  • Coastal Navigation, United States
The Norwegian Inside Passage is a protected shipping route that has been used by mariners for centuries, its channels protected from the dangers of the open water by countless skerries and the rugged coastline presenting opportunities for shelter in its many natural bays and inlets.

5
Alta, Norway
  • Alta, Norway
Resting on the stunning shores of Altafjord, Alta is the gateway to some of Europe's most magnificent natural beauty. With its frequent clear skies, it is an ideal place from which to see the northern lights. Alta is perhaps most known as the site of ancient rock carvings dating back as far as 4200 BC. These fascinating depictions of hunters, gatherers, rituals, animals, and geometric symbols are Norway's only primitive UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Alta Museum was built around the largest concentration of the carvings. ...

Alta, Norway
  • Alta, Norway
The small town of Alta lies in Norway's largely unspoiled county of Finnmark and is considered one of the world's northernmost cities. Here, pristine woodlands spill into the stunning Altafjord, which stretches some 24 miles. Perhaps, however, one of Alta's most striking sights is not natural at all; the boldly designed Northern Lights Cathedral in the center of town is a vision in titanium, with its circular exterior spiraling upward into a narrower cylinder and a breathtaking belfry. ...

Tromso, Norway
  • Tromso, Norway
Tromso is Norway's most northerly city and has long been considered the gateway to the Arctic. During the summer months, pretty wooden houses exude an air of sophistication as they bask beneath the glow of the Midnight Sun. Winter brings pristine landscapes surrounded by snowcapped peaks and the aurora borealis, whose magical lights dance across the nighttime skies. World-renowned explorers have set sail from Tromso's shores. Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to reach both poles, is commemorated with a bronze statue in the city. ...

Tromso, Norway
  • Tromso, Norway
Tromso features an array of French Empire, Swiss, and Neoclassical architecture, earning its nickname "Paris of the North". Visitors from Southern Europe were surprised that an Arctic city encircled by snowcapped mountains could exude such a cosmopolitan air. By the 19th century, the city was recognized for its polar exploration know-how; expedition crew members were often recruited from here. The 1970s brought a renewed interest in protecting the language and traditions of the Sami culture, ensuring that its cuisine and pastimes are now celebrated cultural treasures. ...

  • Narvik, Norway
Narvik is situated on the innermost shores of the Ofotfjorden, within the Arctic Circle. The small town enjoys a dramatic backdrop, encircled by mountains and a glacier that spills right to the water's edge. The town served as a port city for the early Viking settlers. Much later, the discovery of iron ore in the nearby Swedish town of Kiruna forever shaped Narvik. Kiruna needed a year-round ice-free port from which to ship its new discovery, and so a rail link was built directly to the water. Still today, Narvik is a major exporter. ...

Coastal Navigation, United States
  • Coastal Navigation, United States
Norwegian Inside Passage: Norway's jagged coast was formed as melting glaciers receded, eroding bedrock and creating innumerable valleys and fjords, as well as the characteristic skerries that run along the country's more than 16,000 miles of shoreline. These thousands of large islands, small islets, and reefs shelter the famous Norwegian Inside Passage from the sea's punishing winds and waves, making the journey along the coast smoother and more comfortable than when traveling on the open waters of the Norwegian Sea. ...

Cruising the North Sea
  • Cruising the North Sea
Cross the North Sea, where Vikings sailed as they established colonies on Scottish islands, coastal France, and beyond. As you sail, explore the well-curated library, tucked in a private alcove of The Living Room, and select from a broad range of titles. Read a book by the Main Pool, a calming oasis in any weather with its retractable roof, allowing for year-round swimming. ...

Ijmuiden, Netherlands
  • Ijmuiden, Netherlands
IJmuiden is a small port city in the province of North Holland and connects to the Dutch capital via the North Sea Canal. Amsterdam is just 11 miles from IJmuiden, and is famed for its patchwork of charming waterways, elegant gabled houses, and splendid museums. The legacy of the Dutch Golden Age lives on in gilded manses and in the lush paintings of Rembrandt and other Dutch masters that adorn the Rijksmuseum. Discovering Amsterdam is a pleasure best pursued on foot; visitors line the tranquil canals and linger over Dutch pancakes, or take a stroopwafel to go. ...

Tilbury, United Kingdom
  • Tilbury, United Kingdom
Situated on the north bank of the Thames, Tilbury is steeped in history. The town is most famous as the site of a fortress built by Henry VIII to defend London from invasion by ships coming up the Thames. Upriver, the city is home to iconic power centers-Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey-from which the fate of the British Empire rose and wavered. Today, the city thrives amid a long tradition of arts and architectural innovation-from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to West End musicals, from Tower Bridge to the London Eye. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home. ...
