Synopsis
Join ISBJØRN in Svolvær, Norway, north of the Arctic Circle in the magnificent Lofoten Archipelago! This trip will be an exploration adventure in the Lofoten Islands with a focus on sharpening sailing and cruising skills. This will not be an offshore passage, but rather a coastal cruise where we'll likely stop every night, either at a dock or anchorage. Enjoy sheltered fjords, wildlife encounters, picturesque villages, and Viking lore. This archipelago is one of the richest cruising grounds in the world, and we could sail around the area for months without running out of cool things to see and do.
Note
We now reserve two spots for women on all of our passages! Learn more here.
The Route
Expected Weather Pattern
Windwise, it is very hard to say. The geography of the archipelago will allow us to choose what conditions we want to sail in to a certain extent. But it will be cold and we’ll likely see some snow. Average daytime temperatures in April run about 6ºC (42ºF).
