Spring Voyages in Norway

As you depart Bergen, spring is in the air and wildlife emerges from hibernation. As you sail north, you’ll encounter pockets of spring and autumnal weather and the warmth of the sun welcomes back the birds. Above the Arctic Circle, the sun may be shining but the land remains covered in snow – so you can still take part in snowmobiling, dog sledding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing excursions!

Last chance to catch the Northern Lights

It´s still too early to see the Midnight Sun, but not too late to experience the Northern Lights. Check the aurora forecast and if conditions are favourable, you may be in luck! Find a spot on deck around midnight (or when the sun has set), bundle up in a woollen blanket and watch the show or photograph the lights for bragging rights.

Season of celebration

Summer is also the high season for festivities. Join the fun and help Norwegians celebrate their Constitution Day, 17 May, when coastal communities become a kaleidoscope of colourful parades, music and tradition.

Easter escape

While spring is the time to celebrate renewal in Norway, March and April are also the best snow months in the north. As the sun rises higher into the sky, Norwegians head outdoors. During Easter, many Norwegians escape en masse to the mountains and sea to ski, sail and bask in the warmth of spring.

Always learning on board
