Cruise Description

In just ten nights, you’ll have the opportunity to capture the elusive Northern Lights. The best chance of seeing this colourful natural phenomenon will present itself during an extended stay in Alta and while cruising the waters of Northern Norway. Connecting with the local culture by meeting the Sámi people and learning about how they’ve adapted to life in the Arctic wilderness makes for an insightful experience. You can also visit a husky yard to meet the friendly inhabitants and experience one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys on the Ofoten Railway from Narvik to Bjørnefjell and back. Balmoral’s smaller size makes it possible to take a scenic shortcut through the Tjeldsundet Strait.
