The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab).
The beginning of this trip beyond the Arctic Circle will be marked by an immersion in the land of the Sami. From your disembarkation in Narvik, in the very heart of captivating summits plunging into the sumptuous Ofotfjord, you will be invited to explore the ancestral tales of this reindeer-herding indigenous people.
You will then discover Alta. In the polar night, you may be lucky enough to admire the unique colours of the Northern Lights as they ripple and spin above the Arctic Circle.
Le Lapérouse will set sail for Hammerfest, the northernmost town in the world. During your port of call in this charming fishing port, you will have the opportunity to explore the Struve Geodetic Arc, a chain of triangulations stretching from Norway to the Black Sea, and the first technical and scientific tool to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will also sail by Bear Island, halfway between the North Cape of Norway and the South Cape of Spitsbergen. From your ship, you will marvel at this small strip of land with its craggy coastline and high jagged cliffs.
Le Lapérouse will once again set course south, for the captivating Honningsvag. This port of call will take you to the northernmost point of Europe: the North Cape. On this cliff, home to the emblematic Milestone, a globe-shaped monument, allow yourself the time to dream as you gaze upon the vastness of the Barents Sea.
Your ship will then make its way west where 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.
Your trip into the very heart of the immenseness of the Norwegian Arctic polar world will end in Tromso, your disembarkation port.

Mikkelgammen Sami camp
This tour gives you the opportunity to enjoy an authentic native experience at a traditional Sami Camp.
After meeting your coach at the pier, a short drive will take you to Mount Salen, where you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views over the town and the surrounding islands. From here, you will continue on to the Mikkelgammen Sami camp, where you will learn more about the Sami history and culture while seated on reindeer skins that are placed upon springy birch twigs, directly on the ground around an open fire.
During your visit, you will experience joik songs performed by the Sami couple. Joiks are songs dedicated to each member of the Sami population. The Joik has no actual words and can describe, for instance, a particular mood, nature, character or a person. Each Joik is personal and unique to each member. The Sami people at the camp will be wearing their colourful national costumes, which will be explained in detail.
- Participants must wear water- and wind-proof winter clothes and flat shoes. Depending on the temperatures and amount of snow that falls, the grounds may be slippery or even pure ice! Sami people are known to be introverted and reserved, which is why we recommend you respect their behaviour and adopt their discreetness. This tour is conducted in English only.

Sami camp discovery
From the pier, embark on a 1 ¼ hour journey by coach to Máze, a Sami village located on the outskirts of Alta.
The Sami’s roots in Arctic Europe trace back at least 5,000 years. Descendants of nomadic people, they moved depending on their country geopolitic and finished to be confined in the northern extremity of the country. They belong to the Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic family, and are mostly represented in Lapland and adjacent areas of Northern Norway, Sweden and Finland. Learn about the vibrant culture of indigenous Norwegians during your visit.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your hosts, members of a reindeer-herding family. You will have the opportunity to climb on board a reindeer-pulled sled for a picturesque ride along a frozen river. Relax as you glide along to the sound of reindeer bells and snow crunching under hooves.
After your ride, return to the village, where you will be invited into a large traditional tent called a lavvu. Take a seat next to a roaring fire and taste traditional specialities while your hosts entertain you with stories of Sami traditions and modern life. Later, you will return to your ship.

Tromso, Arctic capital
Tromsø, the capital of the North is located on Troms, an island covered with forests. It is also called "the gateway to the Arctic", since it used to be the headquarter of seal and walrus hunters, and the starting point for several Arctic expeditions.

Here, you will sit and lean back in the comfortable chairs of the planetarium to watch the beautiful film "Experience the Aurora".

After the visit, depart to the Polar Museum. The museum is located in the old Custom House. It is closely linked with the Arctic Association which aims to preserve records from bygone times, when Tromsø was a major base for hunting and expeditions on a larger scale. The museum also shows a great part of the equipment, skis, tents etc. that the explorer Roald Amundsen used on his South Pole expedition.
Next, re-board your coach and drive to the Arctic Cathedral passing the famous Tromsø Bridge. The ultra-modern architecture of the cathedral symbolizes the immense strength of the ice pack in the Arctic Ocean. The interior is dominated by the beautiful stained glass-window covering the eastern wall, picturing "The Return of Christ". After the visit to the church, head back to the pier.
- This excursion includes some walking on flat ground, and some steps at the museum and the cathedral. We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and to dress in layers. Arctic cathedral may be closed to visitors due to ecumenical services.
