This morning we’ll visit the Sámi collections at the Nordiska and Skansen Museums. The afternoon is free to explore Stockholm.

This morning fly to Ivalo, Finland, well north of the Arctic Circle. We then make a short drive to the Sámi village of Inari where we’ll stay two nights at the Wilderness Hotel 

Today we’ll focus on Sámi culture with a visit to the Sámi Museum Siida, a reindeer farm and a traditional Sámi meal for lunch. 

This morning we drive to Kirkenes in Norway to board our ship for the next six (6) days, the MS Havila Castor. After lunch on the ship we’ll start our voyage which will take us over the top of Norway (above 71°latitude) and then south to Bergen.

Our 1,250 nautical mile coastal voyage sails along the Norwegian coast, mostly in sheltered waters between the Norwegian coast, islands and skerries. The astounding scenery can be enjoyed in panoramic lounges and your sea view cabins. The ship will make calls at thirty-four (34) different ports both day and night. Some will be short stops to stretch your legs and quickly explore small villages, while others will be of a longer duration such as in Trondheim, Kristiansund, Svolvær in Lofoten and Hammerfest. 

All meals are included on the ship and most days there will be optional excursions offered by the Havila. 

We arrive in Bergen, in the late afternoon and transfer to our hotel. After checking in, we’ll walk along Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf and Bergen’s signature sight, to the Fløyen funicular where we’ll ascend 1,000ft for our scenic farewell dinner.
