NORWAY
NORTHERN LIGHTS, ARCTIC LIFE & LANDSCAPES
Featuring Tromsø & the Lofoten Islands
MARCH 15-24, 2025
TRIP OVERVIEW
After traveling to a collective 150 countries between them, Open Sky’s Alex Ros & Temu Nana don’t easily impress. But Northern Norway immediately blew them away. The landscape is stunning, the locals wonderfully welcoming (living an exceptionally advanced life in harmony with nature & tradition north of the Arctic Circle) ...and the spectacle in the sky is simply jaw dropping. A multi-year refinement process that began in 2016––with our first wonderfully successful groups in 2018––has resulted into this ingenious trip design that combines the strategically-located Troms region with the stunning Lofoten Islands, via a deluxe cruise in the gorgeous northern fjords.
