days
nights on board
Set off with PONANT on an itinerary along the Norwegian coastline, where cliffs carved by the sea and the wind produce still wild fjords, between snow-capped mountains and frosted landscapes. From Tromso, set off aboard Le Bellot for a 11-day cruise discovering these natural beauties.
Your embarkation in Tromso will mark the start of your immersion in the land of the Sami, a reindeer-herding ancestral people. From fascinating Alta to historic Narvik, you will be privileged to encounter one of the last indigenous cultures on European soil, during the visit of a traditional camp, the telling of age-old stories or sessions chasing the Northern Lights.
Your ship will then make its way south. You will witness the mysterious charm of the Lofoten archipelago. These islands have landscapes of surreal beauty alternating between sea, spectacular fjords, mountain slopes and bright-coloured huts on stilts.
After crossing the Arctic Circle, the ship will reach the Norwegian conurbation of Geiranger and its magnificent fjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will take the Eagle Road - the only road in winter, - which offers breathtaking views of the fjord, the impressive Seven Sisters waterfall and the farms in Eisdal village.
You will then reach Bergen, a city founded by the Vikings almost a thousand years ago, and renowned for its seven mountains encircling the city centre and the Hanseatic wharf in the charming and picturesque historic district of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your ship will finally head for Copenhagen, your disembarkation port.

Bryggen walking tour
Bergen is a city full of contrasts, a mixture of new and old side by side. This walking tour takes you along the Bergenhus fortress dating back to the Middle Ages with the old coronation hall and the tower of Rosenkranz.
Shortly after, reach Bryggen, a city composed of old Hanseatic merchant buildings which had been damaged in 1702, when a disastrous fire struck the area. After the fire, they were rebuilt to look as they had during the Middle Ages. The whole area is now protected and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The guided tour will lead you up one of the narrow alleyways running between the rows of houses. Today, artists and craftsmen have moved in, and facing the harbour are restaurants and shops of various kinds. The Hanseates settled in Bergen in the middle of the 14th century. They had the monopoly on the trade with Northern Norway for nearly 300 years that was a barter trade: the Norwegians from the North part of the country brought their stock fish, dried cod, to Bergen and went back with grain, spices, textiles etc.
Discover St Mary's church from outside, the oldest stone building in town. In former days, it was called "the German church" because it was solely used by the Hanseatic merchants who have adorned the church over the centuries with several precious objects.
Thereafter, walk on to Schötstuene, a series of assembly rooms. The Schötstuene complex is comprised of four assembly rooms and two cookhouses, where the food was prepared and social life went on. You should not miss a visit to the kitchen, neither to the living quarters in the back!
Before returning to the harbour, you will visit the Bryggen museum, an archeological museum housing findings from the Middle Ages.

It will be a particularly enriching moment during which you will learn all about the heritage of this people, a heritage that these days can still be found in Lapland’s architecture, contemporary art and culinary traditions. For centuries, the Sámi have built their way of life around reindeer breeding and herding; the reindeer are bred mainly for their antlers, fur and milk. The Sámi are also renowned for their traditional handicraft, known as Duodji, which has been passed down for generations.
Thanks to this activity, you will enjoy a genuine experience of the life of the Sámi and their day-to-day in Swedish Lapland. You will drink freshly boiled coffee around the fire in a lavvu (Sámi tent), before heading out to meet the reindeer.

Bergen is a city full of contrasts, a mixture of new and old side by side. This walking tour takes you along the Bergenhus fortress dating back to the Middle Ages with the old coronation hall and the tower of Rosenkranz.
Shortly after, reach Bryggen, a city composed of old Hanseatic merchant buildings which had been damaged in 1702, when a disastrous fire struck the area. After the fire, they were rebuilt to look as they had during the Middle Ages. The whole area is now protected and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The guided tour will lead you up one of the narrow alleyways running between the rows of houses. Today, artists and craftsmen have moved in, and facing the harbour are restaurants and shops of various kinds. The Hanseates settled in Bergen in the middle of the 14th century. They had the monopoly on the trade with Northern Norway for nearly 300 years that was a barter trade: the Norwegians from the North part of the country brought their stock fish, dried cod, to Bergen and went back with grain, spices, textiles etc.
Discover St Mary's church from outside, the oldest stone building in town. In former days, it was called "the German church" because it was solely used by the Hanseatic merchants who have adorned the church over the centuries with several precious objects.
Thereafter, walk on to Schötstuene, a series of assembly rooms. The Schötstuene complex is comprised of four assembly rooms and two cookhouses, where the food was prepared and social life went on. You should not miss a visit to the kitchen, neither to the living quarters in the back!
Before returning to the harbour, you will visit the Bryggen museum, an archeological museum housing findings from the Middle Ages.
