Experience Details*
Sit back and enjoy the impressive ride from Bodø to Engen, for a chance to witness the majestic Svartisen Glacier. Heading southwest, you’ll pass breath-taking fjords and beautiful coastal landscapes. Then, hop onto a ferry and glide through the clear waters for spectacular views of Svartisen – often called the ‘Black Ice Glacier.’ Despite its name, this Arctic wonder is actually a stunning shade of blue and Norway’s second-largest glacier. What makes it even more special? It’s one of the most accessible, sitting just 20 metres above sea level. Back on shore, indulge in a delicious buffet lunch before your scenic ride back.
