Northern Lights & Whales

Experience the magic of Arctic autumn from the region of Tromsø. As the long summer days give way to dark skies, northern Norway enters one of its most spectacular seasons. Fjords fill with migrating herring, attracting killer whales and humpback whales, while the first Northern Lights dance across the Arctic sky.

Aboard T/S Saeftinghe, we explore the waters surrounding Tromsø, combining active sailing with wildlife encounters, quiet anchorages and the unique atmosphere of the Arctic before winter takes hold. A journey where whales, mountains, coastal culture and the aurora come together in a truly Out Of The Ordinary experience.
