Holiday Overview

One of the world's most unique experiences: the Northern Lights, the mysterious dancing arcs, ripples and rays of light that cast an eerie glow across the Arctic sky. This Northern Lights voyage travels north along Norway’s dramatic coastline and cuts deep into the fjords and to the fringes of the Arctic Circle in search of the mysterious aurora borealis.

Your first port is Andalsnes, Norway. People have been cruising to Andalsnes for more than 120 years because of its stunning location. For, an Alpine town as well as a cruise port, Andalsnes nestles where the towering Romsdal Alps meet the northern end of the sparkling Romsdalfjord.

What's Included?

  • Cruise into the Arctic Circle, hunt for the Northern Lights and tuck into a scrumptious continental breakfast on your balcony each morning.
  • Home-pick up included (first 100miles - pre-night hotel stay upgrades also available) 
  • P&O Arcadia is equipped with a boutique cinema, an all-day buffet, an accessible swimming pool (with glass roof), steam room, sauna and spa.

Andalsnes, & Romsdalsfjord, Norway

< >

A small, friendly town with shops and markets, Andalsnes is also close to the famous Trollstigen road. This leads through pretty villages, past scenic fjords and majestic mountain peaks and across the stone bridge over the cascading Stigfossen waterfall to the Trollvegen (Troll Wall) which - at nearly 6,000 feet - is the highest vertical drop in northern Europe.

After Andalsnes, Arcadia will cruise through Romsdalsfjord, Norway. Deep blue fjords, rolling emerald hills, crashing waterfalls and jagged, snow-capped mountains that tower high above the water. All the while passing charming villages where Vikings once ruled.

Tromso, Norway

Tromso is our next port. You’re just 400km from the Arctic Circle in Tromsø, but there’s no need to get out your polar gear. Thanks to its position on the Gulf Stream, this lively city (said to have the greatest number of bars per capita in Norway) is relatively mild for its latitude. Such a fascinating town deserves time to explore, and so the ship will be docked here for 2-days!
