Cruise Overview

Europe Cruise | Sublime Svalbard—From Dover via Norway’s Springtime Fjords

Cruising from Dover to Longyearbyen, discover the dramatic coastlines and springtime splendor of the Netherlands, Germany, southern Norway, and Svalbard. 

Visit enchanting archipelagos such as Lofoten, cross the Arctic Circle, and experience awe-inspiring landscapes on the edge of Europe. 

Navigate Svalbard’s wild and rugged coastline as you look out for Arctic wildlife like whales, walruses, and the elusive polar bear.

Spring bloom 

Setting sail from Dover, you’ll experience the Dutch delights of Harlingen and the German island of Heligoland before heading to cosmopolitan Hamburg. Arriving in southern Norway during the vibrancy of spring, you’ll find lush, emerald-green fjords and cascading waterfalls. Cruise deep into the country’s longest fjord, and in Haugesund, delve into Viking heritage. In Åndalsnes, you’ll be immersed in incredible panoramas. 

Arctic adventures 

Crossing the Arctic Circle, you’ll scout for sea eagles as you navigate the dramatic coastline of the Lofoten islands and feel inspired by legendary polar explorers in Tromsø. You’ll stand in awe on the edge of continental Europe before continuing to the pristine wildness of Svalbard. Striking fjords, sparkling glaciers, and Arctic wildlife await as we spend two days exploring expedition-style.
