You can enjoy fresh pastries and coffee in the comfortable salons as you take in the spectacular Arctic morning light, sailing past snow-covered landscapes, the Lyngen Alps, islands, fjords and fishing villages.
There is a good chance of spotting white tailed eagles, Europe’s largest bird of prey, and porpoises along the way. Our professional guide will give you an in-depth lecture about marine life during the trip. As you near the whales, our silent electric engine allows us to get close to these majestic animals without disturbing them. An underwater drone and hydrophone will also be able to capture the whales communicating as they cooperate to hunt the herring in the deep narrow fjords.
Please note that whales are wild animals, and constantly on the move. We can guarantee that we will do our best in finding them but cannot guarantee sightings. If the whales are far away, we need to use our diesel engines for the transfer. On arrival to the whale site we cruise in silent electric mode.

As the oldest known form of transport in the north and central part of the Sami culture, the Reindeer Sledding forms an important part of the experience. The sledding takes place as a "raid", with the reindeer and sleds bound together in a long row, headed by the lead reindeer. Reindeer sledding: Approx. 30 minutes. By taking part in this excursion, we hope you will be charmed by the fascinating reindeer and love our gentle but curious and furry animals as much as we do.

You will be greeted by 120 happy Alaskan Huskies, waiting for you to run and cuddle! Drive your own team of dogs through the scenic landscape.
You will be provided with warm thermal suits, winter boots and gloves during the dog sledding adventure. After a short explanation of how to handle the dogs and sleds, you will set off in pairs. One will be the “musher” (driver) and the other will sit in the sled. You can swap places during the trip. The Huskies love running on the hilly tracks and wilderness of Breivikeidet valley, but you need to be part of the team and help them up the hills. It’s a fun experience, but also a physical workout.
