The programme

The excursion takes us to the beautiful island of Troms, famous for its forests and enchanting scenery, and in particular to Tromsø, often referred to as the "capital of the Arctic" and the "Paris of the North".
The first stop of our visit is the University Museum, which is renowned for Geology, Geography, Botany and the fascinating Sami culture.
We then cross the Tromsø bridge and head for the Arctic Cathedral, which we will view from the outside. This splendid cathedral has an ultra modern architectural style and a shape that recalls a Sami tent, or indeed the tip of an iceberg.
Before going back on board we have some free time that we can dedicate to shopping for souvenirs from the far north.
