Stunning sunset in the Rørvik archipelago, seen from Havila Castor last night.
A montage from Unstad Lofoten; nice people, beautiful landscape, lively birdlife and supposedly the best cinnamon buns in the world at @unstadarcticsurf
We recorded some beautiful sounds of the shore and its wildlife. Eivind even found a strange sounding creek hidden beneath boulders.

Day 2: Vardø
We’re onboard, and we wanted to send you our first postcard.
Thursday, we boarded Havila Polaris in Kirkenes. First (pit) stop was Vardø, which is the furthest you can go in Norway as far as east conurbation is concerned. The kittiwakes love it here; as you can see in our footage they hang out in colonies. The harbor was filled with parents doing parentally things – feeding and comforting their kids.
Greetings!
/Eivind and Maja

Here's a glimpse from one of our excursions: the unique midnight concerts at Tromsø Cathedral in Northern Norway. For over two decades, this event has attracted tourists, providing a serene setting in a candlelit church 🕯️. The cathedral, a neo-Gothic gem built in 1861, is notable for its wooden construction and acoustics 🎶.
The concert features a range of music, from hymns and folk tunes to traditional Norwegian melodies and Sami cultural pieces 🎵. Although the program varies, the essence of Norwegian coastal culture is always at its core.
Join us for a night where music and history come together, offering a glimpse into the Arctic soul ❄️.
