This journey is a life experience that can only be told once lived. The boat involved is not a common boat but it is the first Italian boat that has crossed the borders of these lands and the skipper at the head of the expedition is the first and so far the only Italian to have completed the circumnavigation of the Arctic , first with Northwest Passage in 2012, starting from Tromsø in Norway, arriving in Alaska, then with the Northeast Passage in 2019 returning to Tromsø passing north of Siberia.

There are many reasons for choosing this experience, first of all the emotion that a trip of this type can give : crossing the ice, merging into white nature, in a silence of rare purity. Added to this are the unmistakable landscapes of northern Europe , the typical fauna of these areas and last but not least, the chance to spot the magical lights of the Northern Lights .

During the 7 stages of this journey, we will observe the great cetaceans of the North Sea , such as whales and dolphins, as well as seals and other Arctic animals , unfortunately some of which are in the process of disappearing. You will come into contact with the Nordic communities , with their customs and traditions, with their traditions and their cuisine.

Last consideration, no less important, this journey will lead to the awareness of how much this part of the world is in constant and very rapid evolution due to climate change : it is possible that in a few years today's landscape will no longer be observable.

THE ITINERARY OF THIS STAGE

From Tromsø, defined as the capital of Northern Norway, after passing through the strong currents of the Rystraumen , the spectacular small archipelago of Sommarøy awaits us, overlooking the Norwegian Sea.

If this is calm enough we will be able to flow along the coast of the island of Senja , defined as Norway in miniature for its coast aggressively sculpted by deep fjords.

In the far north of the Vesterålen Islands we might perhaps see sperm whales emerge to breathe off Andenes .

We will then squeeze through the narrow fjords of the Lofoten Islands, including the famous Trollfjord , with its almost vertical walls. The islands' villages await us there, surrounded by shelves to hang cod fillets to dry and the red fishermen's houses built on poles and now used as tourist residences. If we are lucky we will be able to see the sea eagles that nest here in abundance.

Past the legendary Maelstrom whirlwind celebrated by Verne, we will cross the great gulf of Vestfjorden to head back to the mainland and finally dock in Bodø.
