View sailing holidays in Norway

One of life’s most coveted adventures, bucket lists the world over consistently feature Norwegian fjord holidays – and with good reason. This unique and timeless destination is as magical in its scale and beauty as it is mysterious in its unfathomable depths.With its many islands (nearly a quarter of a million in fact), holms and characteristic skerries, Norway’s total coastline stretches to more than 100,000 kilometres – the second longest in the world. Little surprise, then, that it provides one of the biggest sailing grounds for skippers and shipmates at every level of experience.

Sustainable Sailing & Fragile Landscapes
Our fleet of sailing vessels range from historic tall ships to modern expedition yachts, operating under sail wherever possible. Alongside our strict codes of conduct at sea, this ensures minimal impact on the local environment and community. By joining a sailing experience you are choosing a more sustainable way to experience Norway, leaving only footprints behind.This land of contrasts brims with abundant wildlife and wide-ranging weather systems. In the Arctic North, the land of the midnight sun feels like the very edge of the world and offers a totally unique night-sailing experience. Explore the elemental arctic landscape by day and night, taking in whales, walruses, polar bears and vast icebergs and glaciers. This is the very wildest of Norway and often feels entirely uncharted. Southern Norway, by contrast, is lined with traditional waterside villages and charming seaside towns, greenery, white sandy beaches, sheltered coves and smooth sloping rocks.

Tromsø – Whale Watching and Northern Lights
Tromsø, known as the “gateway to the Arctic” is the starting point for many of our Norwegian sailing holidays. Witness the crown jewel of the Arctic sky – the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. Experience this natural phenomenon in the winter months during the Polar Night when there is just a few hours of daylight each day. 
As you sail sustainable along Norway’s arctic waters from Tromsø, encounter magnificent whales in their natural habitat. Skjervoy is frequented by all of our small sailing vessels in Tromsø, and is best known for its thriving herring and plankton populations. These attract a variety of whales, from humpback whales to orcas, and makes the perfect destination for a whale watching holiday in Norway.

Lofoten Islands Holidays
The enchanting Lofoten Islands are a haven of dramatic landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich culture heritage. Immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of Norway’s archipelago, where every turn reveals a breathtaking panorama. From hiking and kayaking to fishing and birdwatching, Lofoten offers a myriad of activities for nature lovers. Explore the charming fishing villages that dot the coastline, their iconic red cabins adding a splash of colour to the rugged surroundings. Travelling around these islands is certainly best done under sail, as you discover inlets and fjords only accessible from the water. Wonder at the world famous Trollfjord as you sail through dramatic mountain landscapes and cascading waterfalls. End your day with a beach bonfire on a remote island as you watch the Midnight Sun float on the horizon.

Ski and Sail Holidays in Norway
There is no better way to experience the thrill of skiing whilst connecting with the natural world than on a ski and sail holiday in Norway. Led by a professional guide, you’ll explore some of the most exceptional Alpine ski touring spots in the region. Ski untouched slopes as you embrace this wild and remote setting, where dry powdery snow provides the perfect conditions for exhilarating skiing. 

Fjords Philosophy
There is no doubting the universal appeal of Norwegian fjord holidays and as the world embraces sustainability and Scandinavian living more than ever, their popularity is sure to surge.‘Friluftsliv’ is a local philosophy embodying the idea that returning to nature is akin to coming home. We can vouch for that: Your maiden voyage to the fjords will by no means be your last. Be prepared to leave part of your heart in fjordland – until next time.
