The Experience

About the Trip

Of all the ways people describe the Arctic, this peculiar one always stands out, it doesn’t feel like a part of this planet. There’s something unshakably surreal about it, as if the mountains, reindeer, and dancing skies were borrowed from a whole different world. On this journey across Norway’s far north, you’ll step into that dream, chasing auroras through Tromsø, sailing past the jagged peaks of Lofoten, and trading silence with huskies and Sami herders along the way.
