Our Arctic Circle tour visits one of the most spectacular regions of Europe. We will cross the Arctic Circle and then travel a further 1500km north to Nordkapp, the most northerly point accessible by car on mainland Europe.

Our tour begins with a mini-cruise across the North Sea to Bergen, from where we begin our journey north. One of the first things to notice is Norwegian speed limits are painfully low. However, you soon adjust and take more time to absorb the breathtaking views that unfold at every turn.

Our route skirts Norway's largest fjord and climbs over Europe's highest road, the "Route Across the Roof of Norway" across the vast Jotunheimen snow field. We will take two or three days to reach the Polar Circle, where we join the Arctic Highway one of the world's greatest roads. For over 1500km, the highway follows the fjords and coastline in the Land of the Midnight Sun, with the eerie beauty of 24 hour daylight. From time to time we will take detours from the main highway using the excellent ferry network to explore further afield.

Our ultimate destination is Nordkapp. Here the road ends on an awesome promontory at the top of 1000ft high sea cliffs. At this point we are less than twenty degrees from the North Pole. We aim to reach this point in time for the Summer solstice. The sun never sets and if we're lucky with the weather we'll experience clear blue skies all night long.

Our return journey south follows a similar route, the road crossing fjords with spectacular bridges, and tunneling through huge mountainsides. The terrain varies, but waterfalls and reindeer are constantly nearby. We will take time to explore various cities like Trondheim and Bergen before our journey back to the UK.
