We’ve travelled a lot, but this Arctic tour was truly special

We’ve travelled a lot, but this Arctic tour was truly special. The itinerary balanced adventure and comfort really well. We especially loved the husky ride, staying at the snow hotel in Kirkenes, and whale watching in Tromso. The cruise was a great way to unwind and take in Norway’s stunning coastline. Highly recommend it for couples or families!
