In a few words
Experience a unique maritime adventure in the heart of the Far North!
From Tromsø, set sail for the Lofoten Islands, a mythical archipelago where mountains, fjords, and white sand beaches meet a deep blue sea. Aboard the traditional sailing vessel Fleur de Lampaul , a listed historical monument, you will participate in the sailing, between crossings and spectacular anchorages in secluded coves.
Each stopover is an immersion in authentic Norway: small fishing ports with red huts, villages nestled at the foot of the mountains, and perhaps, around a bend in a fjord, the black back of an orca.
A rare experience, combining adventure, nature and sharing life on board.
The highlights
-
Lofoten Archipelago: magnificent landscapes and exceptional biodiversity
