Svalbard - Realm of the Polar Bear: 23 June - 3 July / 7 July - 21 July 2018
Svalbard has fascinated travellers for a long time. Rich wildlife, Arctic nature and old mining towns are found on the islands, which have a stark and eerie beauty that's all their own. In addition to a few thousand polar bears, the islands home to almost 3000 human inhabitants. In the summer, beautiful colours and contrasts provide the frames for dramatic glaciers, majestic mountain formations, buzzing bird mountains and endless Arctic tundra with its diverse flora and fauna. Visitors find themselves enclosed by the unparralleled silence on Svalbard. The light lures us to this unique place in which the midnight sun shines from early spring till autumn. The blue light caught between darkness and light turns reality into pure fairytale.

Lofoten Islands - Land of the Midnight Sun: 28 July - 11 August / 14 August - 24 August / 28 August - 8 September 2018
The Lofoten Islands are draped across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea, far above the Arctic Circle. This rare wilderness outpost offers an untrammelled landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords, squawking seabird colonies and long, surf-swept beaches.  Due to the warm gulf stream, Lofoten has a much milder climate that other parts of the world at the same latitude.
