Late Autumn Expedition Cruise from Tromsø to Hamburg
Late Autumn Expedition Cruise from Tromsø to Hamburg
Enjoy an autumn adventure along the stunning Norwegian coast and down to Hamburg, learning about the vibrant history of this part of Northern Europe.
Beautiful landscapes and Norway’s fjords
Sailing south from Tromsø we’ll witness the iconic beauty of the Lofoten Islands and visit the traditional fishing town of Svolvær. Savour the special atmosphere in this region as you learn about Viking history and bask in autumnal glory. Further south, more nature experiences await as we aim to visit the unique holed mountain formation of Torghatten and explore the charming town of Brønnøysund.
Enjoy the fall hues, crisp air and mountaintops dusted with fresh snow, as we explore Norway’s south coast. Learn more about glaciers, traditional farming and life in picture-postcard settlements deep in the fjords.
Historic cities and picturesque islands
A full day in Bergen gives you time to enjoy the compact city centre, or experience a trip on the Fløibanen funicular railway for panoramic views. Bergen is a picturesque city where you’ll see the old wharves in the UNESCO-protected Bryggen district. We’ll also call on Egursund, with its colourful wooden houses.
After entering the North Sea, we’ll arrive at the small German holiday island of Heligoland, where cars are banned and walkers rule. Finally, our voyage ends in Hamburg, sometimes called the ‘Venice of the North’ due to its canal system. Enjoy the many sights of the Germany’s second-largest city as the foliage in its many parks turns red and yellow.
Accompanying us on our cruise in an onboard Expedition Team who’ll give talks on the history, culture and wildlife, among other things, of the places we sail to. Pack your sense of adventure and expect the unexpected as we explore this alluring region aboard our comfortable and stylish ship MS Spitsbergen.
