We began the day in Lonkanfjord, heading out in our expedition boats to explore the ice that forms at the very end of the fjord. Cruising close to the frozen edges, we observed the textures and shapes created by winter conditions, with calm waters allowing us to move slowly and take in the quiet beauty of this enclosed Arctic landscape.

After this morning adventure, we returned to the ship and set course for Sandøya, where we landed to enjoy a period of free roaming. Ashore, the guests explored at their own pace, walking along the white sand beach and surrounding terrain, and soaking in the stillness and the open views that make this place so special. The conditions allowed us to fully enjoy the landing, with time to wander, reflect, and connect with the landscape.

After lunch, back on board, it was time for one of the most anticipated moments of the voyage: the polar plunge. This time, instead of jumping in from the beach, our guests took the plunge directly from the ship. One by one, they embraced the icy water, supported by the crew and greeted with cheers from those watching. The atmosphere was joyful and energetic, and the experience was widely enjoyed — an invigorating Arctic challenge that brought smiles, laughter, and a strong sense of accomplishment.

It was a day that combined exploration, freedom ashore, and shared moments on board— another memorable chapter in our winter journey through Northern Norway.

Later in the afternoon, we gathered once more on board for the Captain’s farewell, a warm and celebratory occasion where we reflected on the days spent exploring Arctic Norway together. This was followed by the voyage video, prepared by our photographer, who beautifully captured the highlights of the journey — from snowy landings and expedition boat cruising to bonfires, polar plunges, and dancing Northern Lights. Watching these moments come together on screen was a perfect way for our guests to relive the experience as the voyage was coming to a close.
