Highlights of this cruise:

Tromso
The great city of the Far North was founded in the 13th century and became the region's ancient whaling capital. It is encircled by wilderness to this day and has a rich architectural and historical heritage; the wooden houses of the old quarter are unusual traditional dwellings that date back to the 17th century. Tromsr also has one of the finest examples of contemporary Scandinavian architecture: don't overlook a visit to the Arctic Cathedral, which sits facing the old town like a proud lighthouse. The building's audaciously distinctive lines are also reminiscent of a grand white ship and its architectural style symbolizes the strength of the Arctic seas' pack ice. The building includes a highly unusual glass mosaic on the eastern side and the cathedral also boasts one the largest bay windows in Europe.

Spitsbergen
Svalbard also known as Spitsbergen, is a group of islands between the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea, and the Norwegian Sea. The islands are directly north of and administered by Norway.

Besides the Norwegians, the islands also have a Russian settlement, Barentsburg. The Svalbard Islands are located halfway between Norway and The North Pole and offer untouched, arctic wilderness with vast mountain areas and magnificent glaciers.

Some of the largest concentrations of birds in the North Atlantic region can be found at Svalbard. Other animals are the Svalbard Reindeer, the Arctic Fox and a species of mouse, a sibling vole. Polar bears can be encounter wherever you are on Svalbard.

Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen is the largest settlement in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway and its capital. The archipelago, formed several million years ago, has a unique environment with high, snowcovered mountains - 60% covered by glaciers - spectacular rock formations and low growing colourful flora. There are great many different species of animal life. Seals, walrus, polarbear and whales have their habitat all along the coast.

Longyearbyen is the seat of local government and Norway's main administrative centre on Svalbard. The small colourful community of approx. 1800 inhabitants has developed from being a typical mining community into a community with a number of businesses and industries and a wide range of cultural activities and opportunities. In general, the population of Longyearbyen is rather young, with many small children.

Leisure and cultural activities abound. Since there are no roads between the settlement areas on Svalbard, snowmobiles and boats are a common means of ttransportation. Locals are very fond of outdoor activities, as well as taking weekend trips to cabins and huts.

There are plenty of sports and cultural events in Longyearbyen. A new sports hall with a swimming pool is a popular focal point for many of the sports activities. Lectures and talks on various topics are regularly organised, often at the university. Many famous musicians and artists visit Svalbard during the year and there are many exhibitions, concerts and other special events, particularly during the weekends.
