Explore the Arctic in classic Scandinavian style
Embark on an unforgettable voyage to the far reaches of northern Norway aboard a Fred. Olsen cruise in search of the elusive Northern Lights. With over 175 years of seafaring heritage, this Norwegian family-owned cruise line is renowned for navigating less-travelled waters aboard smaller, more intimate ships, Bolette, Balmoral, and Borealis.
Heading deep into the Arctic Circle, you’ll witness nature at its most awe-inspiring: dramatic coastlines, thundering waterfalls, steaming hot springs, and, if you’re lucky, the mesmerising Aurora Borealis dancing across the night sky. Cruise through fjords and waterways only accessible to smaller ships, including the stunning Tjeldsundet Strait and past the legendary Seven Sisters mountain range.
Choose from 10 incredible sailings in 2025 and 2026, all round-trip from convenient UK ports including Southampton, Portsmouth, Newcastle, and Liverpool. These carefully curated itineraries offer the ideal blend of scenic cruising, expert-led excursions, and the thrill of Arctic adventure.
