Nordic Navigator: Norway’s Wilds to Scotland’s Isles

From Arctic Norway to Scotland's Remote Isles

Experience Northern Europe from a different perspective on this expedition from Tromsø to Glasgow, travelling from the snow-covered landscapes of Arctic Norway to the remote Scottish islands of Shetland and Orkney. Explore the dramatic scenery and communities of Senja, Vesterålen and the Lofoten Islands before continuing south past Svartisen and crossing the Norwegian Sea to Scotland. Along the way, expedition landings, small-boat exploration and expert insights bring you closer to the landscapes, wildlife, history and communities of these remarkable northern regions.

Expedition Cruising, Designed for Discovery

Expedition cruising offers a more exploratory way to travel, using smaller ships, specialist expedition teams and flexible activities to experience destinations more closely. Nature landings, small-boat exploration, walks and cultural experiences are complemented by onboard lectures and insights, with opportunities for more active adventures along the way.

Why I Like This Journey

I love the contrast of this itinerary. You begin among the mountains, fjords and fishing communities of Arctic Norway before crossing the Norwegian Sea to islands shaped by centuries of Scottish and Norse history. It also shows that expedition cruising doesn't have to mean Antarctica or the world's most remote polar regions.

Ideal For

Travellers who enjoy dramatic landscapes, remote communities, history and nature, or anyone curious about experiencing expedition cruising somewhere a little unexpected.
