As the sun returns to rejuvenate the Norwegian shores the temperatures begin to rise as life returns to the land. Days become longer and Springtime colours break out across the landscape as the Arctic grip recedes.
- During the course of the voyage you may see the friendly thaw of winter in the south, to stormy winter in the north. From metre high snowdrifts with sprinklings of green grass to roaring waterfalls of meltwater and bird cliffs standing like rocky skyscrapers, full of flying and nesting life.
Spring in Norway is a beautiful adventure, a quiet explosion of life, smells, colours and light.
