The next day we woke up just outside the entrance of famous Trollfjord, positioned off the island of Ulvøya. The morning greeted us with crisp, cold air and clear views of the surrounding mountains, setting the stage for another memorable Arctic day.

Before entering Trollfjord, we head out on expedition boat cruise around Ulvøya, taking in the dramatic mountain scenery and the quiet atmosphere of this remote area.

From the water, our guests gained a glimpse into life in some of Norway’s more isolated coastal communities, where steep slopes meet the sea and human presence is sparse. Some guests chose an alternative perspective, heading out on a kayaking adventure, enjoying the stillness and the close connection to the landscape.

Once everyone was back on board, we prepared for one of the highlights of the day. The Captain carefully guided MS Spitsbergen into Trollfjord, a passage that felt increasingly narrow as towering rock walls closed in around us. The sense of scale was striking, and the precision of the manoeuvre added to the experience. Suddenly, the fjord opened up, revealing its inner basin and the calm waters beyond.

After spending some time here, soaking in the views and the exquisite silence, the Captain slowly turned the ship around and exited the fjord the same way we had entered, continuing our journey along the Norwegian coast — another classic Arctic moment added to our winter voyage.
