  Northern Lights & Lofoten

  The islands of Lofoten are often called the most beautiful islands in the world. The diversity of the area is magnificent. Nature lovers can indulge themselves in this rugged landscape. With our expedition ship Antigua, you will travel through this amazing panorama and reach places that are normally hidden from tourists. During this trip you will be accompanied by a guide who knows the area well and will tell you a lot about the surroundings and history.

  In winter, an extra dimension is added to this incomparable area: the Northern Lights, one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena on earth. Aurora Borealis, as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis is also called, is truly unique. Green, purple, blue, are the colours of the Northern Lights. With the Antigua, we look for places and harbours free of light pollution so that you have the best opportunities to view the Northern Lights in their full glory.

  Another phenomenon in the Norwegian winter are the numerous sightings of whales. Nowhere else in the world are such large schools of whales seen than in northern Norway. They search for food and hunt in the magnificent Norwegian fjords. With the Antigua, we will navigate to places where we will view the world's largest mammals in a wildlife-friendly and special way.

  The magical Northern Lights, the Lofoten Islands and large schools of whales are the focus of this winter voyage. Small programme changes are therefore possible to find the right places to view this natural beauty. This -in combination with the pristine natural area in the Arctic Ocean- makes this trip an unforgettable experience for you!

  Tromsø where your Arctic adventure begins or as many say the "Paris of the North". Also invites you to visit a day before departure, because with a little luck you can see the Northern Lights dancing through the capital of the North Pole on the first evening.  Our destination port will be Bodø, this mini-metropolis of the North is easy to reach by plane and therefore ideal as a destination port. The Lofoten Islands are also perfectly on the way from Tromsø to Bodø.

  The Lofoten archipelago is characterised by its striking mountain peaks in combination with numerous small bays and beaches. The breathtaking natural landscape makes the islands a true pearl of Norway. The Lofoten archipelago is located north of the Arctic Circle in the Nordland region. The archipelago consists of 7 main islands separated by fjords and straits. Between the Lofoten Islands and the Norwegian mainland lies the Vestfjord. If you approach Lofoten by boat, the steep wall of Lofoten appears on the horizon - the Lofoten Wall. Spectacular!

  There is so much more to say about Tromsø, Bodø and Lofoten and a thousand reasons why you should make this trip, but why not see for yourself?

Antigua

On board the Antigua you are on a very special expedition ship. The three master has a specious center deck which enables you as guest to view the vast wilderness and animals of northernmost regions of Europe. The characteristic sailing ship counts three zodiacs used for excursions.

You’re immediately at home in the comfortable  and cosy salon of the ship, a perfect spot to wind down from a day at sea. As in the salon, the standard cabins are mahogany finished. For those who prefer slightly more comfort there are a few larger cabins with loose beds. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms with showers and toilets.

With the Barkentine Antigua you will reach regions where other ships won’t be able to sail. It’s for that reason that guests prefer to embark on our unique expeditions in arctic waters.
