Norway's Orca Highway - 11 Days - $10,990
Operator's Itinerary
Ever wanted to explore the high Arctic Norwegian fjords, observing orcas as they feed under the pink winter skies, chasing the Northern Lights, and tasting Scandinavian whisky?
We've put together a one-of-a-kind trip with special guest trip leader Tashi Wangchuk Tenzing Sherpa - three time summiter of Mount Everest, motivational speaker, and wildly interesting guy who also happens to be the grandson of the first sherpa to summit Everest.
The trip begins in Oslo visiting some great local spots, later heading up to Tromsø where you'll step on the ship for seven days during which you'll visit the world's northern-most whisky distillery, take a night hike over an idyllic Norwegian island (hopefully under the Northern Lights!) and explore an abandoned NATO base, among various other adventures we have planned.
On the second last day, after disembarking the Kinfish, you'll step on board a "spa boat" for a final day of luxury topped off with a 5-star meal of local ingredients and then relax in a beautiful hotel room right next to the Tromsø harbour.

This little ship has such incredible character and being so small, she really gives an exclusive expedition experience.
