Svartisen Cruise Holidays
Svartisen Cruises – The ultimate Norway glacier experience
A cruise to Svartisen takes you on an unforgettable journey to the most famous glacier in the Arctic Circle. Ships call here for one reason only. Svartisen cruise excursions focus exclusively on the glacier. No other European glacier flows down to such a low altitude, making it easily accessible to visiting cruise passengers. Visitors usually cruise to Svartisen on the dramatic journey north from Trondheim to the astonishing Lofoten Islands and onwards towards the legendary North Cape. Most cruises to Svartisan will approach via Holandsfjord or the town of Mo I Rana. From Mo I Rana passengers proceed by road to Lake Svartisvannet. Boats cross the lake from where a 3km path leads to the glacier. Other minor roads offer alternative routes to this most memorable of natural wonders.

Cruises to Svartisen – Colossal ice fields
No matter how many photos you have seen beforehand nothing can prepare you for the simply astonishing sight of the colossal ice fields and the vast amounts of bright blue ice flowing down from a huge bowl of dramatic jagged peaks. The glacier is constantly creaking, and large chunks of ice crash into the fierce rivers gushing from under the ice. Svartisen cruise excursions may include a barbecue or picnic among the majestic scenery. Ask your Svartisen cruise ship about hiking trips and glacier trekking.
