Alesund, Norway
The port town of Ålesund is spread across several islands on the west coast of Norway; it was rebuilt in 1904 following a huge fire and now features stunning Art Nouveau architecture. Pay a visit to the Ålesund's Holmbua landmark by the harbour - an 1861 warehouse which houses the fishing displays of Ålesund Museum - before exploring The Art Nouveau Centre. Relax with coffee and cake in a pavement cafe or dine on locally-caught fish in one of the many restaurants. Walk up Mount Aksla for spectacular views; see the time capsule and Viking ship replicas at Jugendstilsenteret and Sunnmore Museums; and feed the fish at Atlanterhavsparken. There are a variety of hiking, biking, and kayaking excursions to enjoy here too.

Tromso, Norway
Today you'll arrive in Norway's Tromsø - the 'Gateway to the Arctic' and famous for being one of the best places in the world to catch sight of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. Enjoy a thrilling husky sled ride through snow-covered landscapes from the Tromsø Wilderness Centre or visit the iceberg-shaped Arctic Cathedral to gaze in awe at the stained-glass mosaic. Ride the cable car to the top of Mount Storsteinen for amazing views, admire the artworks at the Art Museum of Norway, or step back in time at Perspektivet Museum. Taste authentic local brews on a tour of Mack Brewery or get up close to local fish and bearded seals at Polaria Arctic Aquarium.
8
Alta, Norway
Alta stretches along 15km of coastline in the Finnmark County in Norway. Inhabited by the indigenous Sami people since prehistoric times; Alta is considered to be one of the best places to experience the Midnight Sun in the summer and see the Northern Lights in the winter. Gaze in awe at the modern-style Northern Lights Cathedral; explore the UNESCO-listed ancient rock carvings at Alta Museum and Hjemmeluft; and then enjoy the thrill of husky sledding and snowmobiling through Arctic landscapes. Altafjord and Altaelva River offer some of the best salmon fishing in the world. Don't miss a visit to the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel - a unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience!
9
Hammerfest, Norway
The town of Hammerfest is located on the north-western coast of the island of Kvaloya in Norway’s Finnmark County. The world's northernmost town; Hammerfest boasts an ice-free harbour and is home to the impressive Hammerfest Church. Learn about the life of the local polar bears at the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society and explore local history after WWII at the Museum of Reconstruction and the UNESCO-listed Meridian Column. Get active with a zigzag walk up Salen Hill to admire town-wide views and beyond. No visit here would be complete without sampling authentic Sami food, fresh sushi, or traditional Norwegian seafood.
10
Honningsvag, for North Cape, Norway
Honningsvåg is your gateway to Norway's North Cape on Magerøya Island. Located in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county; this is the northernmost city in mainland Norway and the true land of the Midnight Sun. From mid-May to July, the full disc of the sun never dips below the horizon. In winter, the days barely lighten to a spectral gloom. To the north lies only the remote Svalbard Archipelago, Jan Mayan Island, and the polar ice cap. From the cliffs of the North Cape, perched 1,000 feet above the Arctic Ocean, you can literally stare into the Arctic silence. During the summer months, vast reindeer herds roam Magerøya Island's treeless, central plateau.

Leknes, Lofoten Islands
Your first stop of the day is Leknes; an area rich in Viking history and Arctic nature. Leknes looks out over the jagged peaks of the Lofoten Islands, which also boast white sand beaches, distinctive cliffs, and spectacular panoramic views. Visit the Viking Museum at the nearby village of Borg, explore the historic fishing village of Nusfjord, stop by the pebble beach at Eggum and Unstad, and view the cave paintings at Kollhellaren Cave. Back aboard ship enjoy incredible scenery as you cruise by the Trollfjord; a 2km stretch lined with steep, rocky cliffs which divides Norway's Lofoten and Vesteralen archipelagos. And, as the ship steers into the heart of the Trollfjord, catch a glimpse of the flocks of seabirds.
13
Bodo, Norway
Bodø is the capital of Nordland county and the gateway to the true north of Norway and the Lofoten Islands. The town of Bodø was founded in 1816 and boasts a proud heritage of herring fishing and a stunning rugged mountain backdrop. Discover Norway's flight and aviation history at Norsk Luftfartsmuseum or pay a visit to the fascinating exhibits at the open-air Bodøsjoen Friluftsmuseum. Bodin Kirke with its onion-shaped dome and Bodø Cathedral with its unique spire are well worth a look too. Step back in time at Kjerringoy Trading Post or spend a few hours enjoying water-based delights at Nordlandbadet bathhouse.

Klaksvik is connected to the mainland of the Faroe Islands via the Leirvik subsea tunnel which opened in 2006. From the port you can admire the 750m high Enniberg - the highest promontory in the world - and the majestic pyramid mountain on the nearby island of Kunoy.
