Leknes

This pristine environment is much as the ice age left it 10,000 years ago. But don't assume that because the Lofotens are north of the Arctic Circle that they are raw, wind-ravaged places: the season of fruitfulness may be short here, but from mid-May the ground bursts forth with wild flowers and berries, the skies are filled with cuckoos, curlews and eagles, and the water churns with migrating cod and salmon. When the sun shines there's a clarity in the air here which almost defies description, picking out beaches of clean white sand and piercing water so pure that you can watch the starfish grazing, 30ft down.

Ship info

Bremen

On a voyage of discovery aboard MS BREMEN. Our expedition ship steals you away to parts of the world that will quench your thirst for adventure. The BREMEN, furnished with the maximum ice class for passenger ships (E4), is designed for expeditions far from civilisa-
tion in the polar regions. Thanks to her shallow draught she can also sail into the smallest harbours and bays as well as winding rivers. In addition, our 12 expedition-worthy, motor-powered dinghies, called zodiacs, enable you to go ashore even in the remotest regions.

The atmosphere on board is personal and familiar. The 164 guests are united by their excitement about their shared adventure and the friendly service crew enjoys working to make you feel at home. Worldly-wise experts enrich every expedition with their knowledge, experience and spirit of adventure and provide background inform-
ation on the places we head for both on shore and on board. In addition, you can develop your knowledge further in the library.

In the restaurant with its big panoramic windows your palate will be indulged with sumptuous fare; the open-air pool and the little gym with a sauna invite you to relax. In addition, the comfortable, 18 square metre cabins will soon become your home from home – with 24-hour sea view.
