Arrive at Kirkenes

DAY 1    

Upon arrival at the Kirkenes Airport, take the airport transfer to hotel and check in. Kirkenes means “church on a headland” and it sits between two ice-filled fjords, leading to the Barents Sea. This tiny, nondescript place, anticlimactic for many, has a distinct frontier feel. You'll see street signs in Norwegian and Cyrillic script and hear Russian spoken by trans-border visitors and fishermen, who enjoy better prices for their catch here than in their home ports further to the east.

Kirkenes

DAY 2     

    The quickest way to get better known with Kirkenes is the walking tour with local guide. Spend this day learning as much as possible about this north city. In just one hour you get interesting facts about Kirkenes history, the Second World War and the daily life. You will take a tour to the most interesting monuments, pass the Andersgrotta and walk along the shore. 

Kirkenes to Tromso (Hurtigruten cruise)

DAY 3

Have an unforgettable experience with Hurtigruten cruise from Kirkenes to Tromso! First the ship sails west, and then south - and along the way you get to see some of the world's most beautiful islands, high mountains, idyllic fishing villages and unique scenery on the way to milder fjord landscapes and temperatures.

DAY 4  

The coast of Norway is often rated as one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Discover the range of this natural treasure on 2-day trip voyage! The small city of Tromso bills itself as Norway's gateway to the Arctic, and there is definitely more than a hint of polar atmosphere around town. Surrounded by chilly fjords and craggy peaks that remain snowcapped for much of the year, Tromso sits on the eastern edge of Tromsøya, and is linked to the mainland by a gracefully arched bridge.

In the evening explore amazing Ice Bar - it is a gallery, featuring one material and one material only: ice!
