Norway: Aurora Cruises – The Voyage South
See the staggering beauty of the Norwegian coast
There are few experiences as remarkable as sailing down Norway’s coast. Mighty fjords hug the sides of the ship and mountains loom overhead as you are taken on an intimate journey through nature’s most phenomenal scenery. Not only will the panoramas astound you but the impending Northern Lights make Aurora cruises even more special. This is one of the finest ways to witness many of the Norwegian highlights because these ships bring you closer to the natural world than any other mode of transport.
On the voyage south, Aurora cruises begin in Kirkenes and sail between picturesque fishing villages and beguiling towns. At each destination discover the unique cultures and history and learn how inhabitants live in such remote communities. There is also a variety of excursions you can enjoy during Aurora cruises that let you see the best of each place.
