Discover the majestic marine life and iconic sights of northern Norway.
Enjoy a scenic drive through picturesque Tromsø, passing the Northern Lights Planetarium, Sandnessund Bridge and the island of Kvaløya. Spot the northernmost university in the world, before heading off to the Polaria centre.
Marvel at the building’s ‘ice floe’ construction and explore the fascinating exhibits, showcasing the flora and fauna of the polar region. And delight in the antics of the bearded seals as they whizz around their pool.
