The National Geographic Orion sailed into Bergen this morning, bringing an end to our epic expedition of Norway and the undeniable frontier of Svalbard. With the ship berthed in a prime city location we explored the local sights, museums & lane ways. Fresh from the photography workshops that took place during our trip, many guest took to the streets to put their learning into practice and to ply their craft one last time before our final destination of Copenhagen.

Tromsø
Today we had a wonderful time visiting Tromsø, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Arctic”, since several important polar expeditions departed from here. We visited interesting museums, tasted some local delicacies (including cod tongue and roe), and played with sled dog puppies. We couldn’t have asked for a better time!
