Northern Lights Festival, northbound voyage

Celebrate the first dawn of the year in Tromsø. The international music festival known as the Northern Lights Festival honors the eagerly anticipated Return of the Sun. The excitement of these festivities is contagious, as artists from around the world join Norwegian musicians in producing an animated program that caters to a wide range of musical tastes - from symphonic to soul. The Tromsø Concert Hall, the Arctic Cathedral and even our ship will be among the many venues that play host to a variety of events offering you the opportunity to participate in this unique cultural event.
Join MS Trollfjord in Bergen where your leisurely journey begins. From this Gateway to the Fjords, the anticipation builds each day, as your arrival in Tromsø, the Arctic capital, draws ever nearer. Beautiful Ålesund, historic Trondheim and Svolvær, the enchanting capital of the stunning Lofoten Islands, wait to be explored.
Sea eagles wheel overhead as they swoop from their aeries in the mountains beyond. Enrich your visit to this captivating coast by exploring the diverse ports of call, each with its characteristic atmosphere, vibrant history and unique charm.
In Tromsø, where you'll spend two nights, the snow-covered mountains provide an impressive backdrop to the festival locations.
The spectacular Northern Lights could be nature's own contribution to the festivities. Providing inspiration to painters, poets, musicians, choreographers and dancers, keen photographers will hope to capture the atmosphere of the festival beneath the Northern Lights.
