TRANSFER FROM THE PIER TO TROMSO AIRPORT + FLIGHT TROMSO/PARIS
Set off on a unique journey at the crossroads of history, modernity and wild nature, along the shores of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, and cross the mythical Arctic Circle. At each port of call from Brest to Tromsø, the cities will reveal their cultural and architectural treasures, as well as the unique history that shaped them. The Norwegian coast will offer up its marvellous landscapes, a jagged coastline where the fjords are emerging from their winter coast to join the sea, and superb sailing experiences amidst narrow passages, where the history of the Vikings seems ubiquitous.

Arrival 02/03/2027
Departure 02/03/2027
On board your ship, cross the mythical line of the Arctic Circle. This famous parallel runs at around 66° 33’ latitude north. Often considered the gateway to the Arctic, it is simply the latitude from which it is possible to observe the midnight sun at least once in the year. Once over the Circle, during the summer months, you will therefore be able to sail in permanent daylight and the low light that is so particular to the polar regions. A unique moment, which will doubtless remain one of the highlights of your cruise.

A jewel of nature in its most pristine state, this archipelago with its jagged coastline offers you majestic settings of high alpine summits, sandy beaches, green prairies and fjords of a deep blue, where countless bird colonies make their nests. Whether you visit Å, or Nusjford, listed by UNESCO, enjoy authentic and memorable moments.
4 March 2027 - Tromso
Arrival 04/03/2027 early morning

A stunning example is the Arctic cathedral, a major monument whose stylistic purity echoes the outline of the mountains surrounding the town.
