Cruise the spectacular fjords of Norway, and visit the Lofoten Islands situated within the Arctic Circle - Read the blogs from Summer Season 2009 and also our latest in 2010
The spectacular fjords and islands of northern Norway are our destination for the summer of 2010. Here the islands rise majestically from the sea to a height of 1000 metres, and white sandy beaches line the waters edge. These stunning mountains are interspersed with many narrow fjords and home to isolated and serene anchorages. Fishing is the industry here as this is the worlds richest cod ground, and there are many picturesque small fishing villages to visit nestled at the bottom of the steep mountains.
The flora and fauna in the area are unforgettable, and we hope to see sperm whales, puffins and sea eagles in their natural habitat. We should even have a chance of catching our own dinner!
Our base will be Bodo, 500 miles north of Oslo and just north of the Arctic Circle, and our cruising ground will be the islands and fjords of the Vestfjorden including the ‘sailors dream’ the Lofoten islands.
As with all our destinations, this area of Norway still remains unspoilt and off the beaten tourist track. Getting there is easy if not direct – fly from UK to Oslo on a variety of carriers, and then take an internal flight from Oslo to Bodo (www.sasbraathens.no , www.norwegian.no). The airport in Bodo is a mere 20 mins walk from the marina, or 5 mins in a taxi.
The Lofoten islands are a chain of islands, just off the coast of Norway here at the top of the map
Our Norwegian programme is rapidly filling up. We will be returning to Norway and the Lofoten Islands in 2011 with a similar programme to 2010. To make sure you receive news of the new programme why not sign up for our newsletter
