Discovery plays hopscotch amid Norway's islands and inlets. Bound for the North Cape where nightfall at this time of year is all but unknown, you'll sail for the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. Home to polar bears, walrus colonies, reindeer and Arctic foxes, the remote natural beauty of the region will be plunged into drkness next day as we experience a total eclipse of the sun. Turning south from Alta, known as the Town of the Northern Lights, day and night will slot back into place once more as we make for the lovely shores of Flam.
