10 good reasons to visit Norway in the fall aboard Polarfront

Jul 2, 20222 min readBy Latitude Blanche

  1. The hikes led by your naturalist guide along the shores of the fjords and around the Svartisen Glacier;
  2. The northern lights: October marks the start of the northern lights season, when the aurora lights up the sky on clear nights;
  3. Fall colors: at this time of year, Norway is ablaze with foliage that contrasts with the deep blue of the sea and the Svartisen Glacier;
  4. Breathtaking light: in October, above the Arctic Circle, long sunsets bring stunning shifts in the light, revealing landscapes that change from one day to the next;
  5. The romance of the fjords: what could be more romantic than a getaway by boat in the wild? Calm and serenity await you in the Norwegian fjords!
  6. The first snows, dusting the peaks and changing the scenery over the course of your voyage;
  7. The charm of the Lofoten villages: you will discover the Lofoten Islands, a true jewel of the Far North, and their picturesque villages, on UNESCO’s tentative list of World Heritage sites;
  8. A dash of culture : although this voyage is focused on nature, it also has a rich cultural side. Your naturalist guide introduces you to Scandinavia, its customs, its history and its culture for a complete immersion;
  9. Wildlife: the Lofoten Islands are Norway’s largest bird sanctuary. On these 365 small islands, you may spot guillemots, puffins, white-tailed eagles, kittiwakes, fulmars, northern gannets and black-tailed godwits. With a little luck, you may even come across a moose in its natural habitat!
  10. For an unforgettable voyage aboard Polarfront!
