Life on board is relaxed and informal, with plenty of quiet corners to relax in, enjoy the view and share the journey with fellow travellers.

Both voyages sail between Oslo and Tromsø, but the experience differs depending on direction.

  • Northbound (Oslo to Tromsø): Choose this route and enjoy scenic fjord cruising in Lysefjord and cultural stops in Stavanger and Ålesund. You’ll also visit Rørvik, as well as Svolvær in the enchanting Lofoten Islands and Stokmarknes in beautiful Vesterålen, before ending your voyage in Tromsø.

  • Southbound (Tromsø to Oslo): Opt for this itinerary if you want to visit the North Cape. From Honningsvåg, we head south via Narvik, Åndalsnes, Bergen and Kristiansand, with relaxed scenic sailing along the sheltered inner coastal route. An ideal choice if you want to balance Arctic landscapes with southern Norway’s cultural highlights before returning to Oslo.

The North Cape Line sails between September and April. Autumn brings colourful coastal landscapes, while the long, dark nights of winter give you the best chance to see the Northern Lights. By early spring, the days grow longer again, with snow-covered scenery and crisp Arctic air.
