The eagerly anticipated return of the sun is honoured by an international music festival, known as the Northern Lights Festival. The excitement of these festivities is contagious as artists from around the world join Norwegian musicians in producing an animated programme which caters for a wide range of musical tastes – from symphonic to soul. The Tromsø Concert Hall, the Arctic Cathedral and even our ship will be among the many venues which play host to a variety of events offering us the opportunity to participate in this unique cultural event.
Join MS Trollfjord in Bergen where our journey begins. From this gateway to the fjords, the anticipation builds each day as our arrival in Tromsø, the Arctic capital, draws ever nearer. Beautiful Ålesund, historic Trondheim and the enchanting capital of the stunning Lofoten Islands, Svolvær, are waiting to be explored. Sea Eagles wheel overhead as they swoop from their eyries in the mountains beyond.
Enrich your visit along this captivating coast by exploring the diverse ports of call, each with its own different atmosphere, vibrant history and unique charm.
In Tromsø, where we stay for two nights, the snow covered mountains provide an impressive backdrop to the festival locations. The spectacular Northern Lights could be nature’s own contribution to the festivities. Providing inspiration to painters, poets, musicians, choreographers and dancers, keen photographers will hope to capture the atmosphere of the Festival beneath the Northern Lights.
