Atlandis Top 3 'Things to Do'
Small-Group Aurora Hunt Northern Lights Tour from Tromso
Set out from Tromso on a hunting tour of the Northern Lights. Join a small group and a guide in a fun quest to 'chase down' the Aurora Borealis, traversing the nearby countryside and even into Finland to catch a glimpse. After finding the right setting, gather around a campfire, warm up with some soup, and await the spectacular night light show. Your guide will also offer some tips for best capturing the Northern Lights in pics, and snap some that they'll share as souvenirs.
Bergen: Mostraumen Fjord Cruise
Make the most of your time in port on this shore excursion in Bergen, timed to your ship. Departing from the center of Bergen, head along the narrow Mostraumen fjord to see some of western Norway's most spectacular scenery, including waterfalls and mountains, as well as wildlife including seals, goats, and perhaps eagles. The captain slows down so that you can get good pictures and tries to get close to the waterfall so you can try a taste of the fresh mountain water.
Shore Excursion: Oslo Highlights Tour with Viking Ship Museum and Vigeland Park
When your ship docks in Oslo's port, take a comprehensive tour of the city's highlights with this half-day shore excursion. Combine a walking tour with an express route on a sightseeing bus that allows you to take in landmarks such as the Viking Museum, the Vigeland Installation in Frogner Park, and others. Admission to all attractions and round-trip transportation from the port are included.
