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 trip 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.

ON BOARD WITH PAOLA MAUGERI

"Like Nanni Acquarone , I am in love with the Northern lands for this reason I have been living in Sweden for a year and I bless every day for being so close to a nature that in these parts is an emotional landscape. I can't wait to leave with you for Norway , I can't wait to see with my eyes and heart how much Mother Nature still knows how to be generous , despite everything. My son, Timo, will also be on board with me. "

The itinerary of this stage:

It's time to leave the deep North and cross the Arctic Circle southwards, leaving the midnight sun, which has already begun to decline after the summer solstice.

However, we will still remain in the Northern Norway region until we arrive in Trondheim.

The navigation will mainly flow through the tangle of the islands of the coastal channel, except for a short distance.

We could perhaps take a look at the more than 10 knots of the strong Saltstraumen current, right near Bodø, which however is only practicable when tired. The almost uninhabited islets and rocks off the coast offer a remote and exotic spectacle . The passages, although protected from the open sea, can be swept by sudden violent gusts, which add a flavor of adventure to the whole navigation.

Just north of the Arctic Circle we will be able to approach the Svartisen glacier ("black ice") which approaches the sea almost touching it, breathing its cold breath right into the water. The glacier is visibly retreating due to climate change.

The mountainous landscape will continue to accompany us with the peaks still cloaked in snow, home to ancient Trolls and orcs transformed into stone by the rising of the sun.

Further south, in Leka , it may be possible to visit prehistoric paintings and remains from the Viking era.

From here to the entrance to the Trondheim fjord the passages are a little more exposed, but still full of possible shelters in case of too rough sea.

Trondheim was the original Viking capital and is Norway's third largest city with interesting exhibits and museums.
