Cruise Description |
Set off with PONANT on an itinerary along the Norwegian coastline, where cliffs carved by the sea and the wind produce still wild fjords, between snow-capped mountains and frosted landscapes. From Tromso, set off aboard Le Champlain for a 11-day cruise discovering these natural beauties.
Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, go hunting for the Northern Lights from Alta; discover the picturesque fishing village of Henningsvaer and visit the Lofotr Viking Museum from Leknes; or enjoy a hike to Mount Floyen from Bergen. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab).
Your embarkation in Tromso will mark the start of your immersion in the land of the Sami, a reindeer-herding ancestral people. From fascinating Alta to historic Narvik, you will be privileged to encounter one of the last indigenous cultures on European soil, during the visit of a traditional camp, the telling of age-old stories or sessions chasing the Northern Lights.
Your ship will then make its way south. You will witness the mysterious charm of the Lofoten archipelago. These islands have landscapes of surreal beauty alternating between sea, spectacular fjords, mountain slopes and bright-coloured huts on stilts.
After crossing the Arctic Circle, the ship will reach the Norwegian conurbation of Geiranger and its magnificent fjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will take the Eagle Road - the only road in winter, - which offers breathtaking views of the fjord, the impressive Seven Sisters waterfall and the farms in Eisdal village.
You will then reach Bergen, a city founded by the Vikings almost a thousand years ago, and renowned for its seven mountains encircling the city centre and the Hanseatic wharf in the charming and picturesque historic district of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your ship will finally head for Copenhagen, your disembarkation port. |
