Humpback whales and Orcas have been sighted in large numbers feeding on herring. This voyage offers great opportunities for Whale Watching, photography and snorkeling in the crystal clear Arctic waters, which is an experience in itself! This trip is for anyone interested in Orcas, Humpback whales, white tailed Eagles, Arctic winter, Northern lights, Moose and spectacular landscape. The best time of the year for this phenomena is November through the end of February when the balance between light and access to herring and whales is at its best. The winter days in Norway provide excellent light for photography. We will spend the daylight hours looking for whales and other wildlife and, if the opportunity occurs, snorkel in the crystal clear waters. With the newly rebuilt live aboard yacht MV 'Malmö', we are flexible to follow the herring and the Orca's deep in the fjords and deliver great chances of success.

Norway’s profound natural beauty, is difficult to look past as one of the best coastlines in the world to explore from sea. Incredibly diverse geologically, Norway’s coastline is simply one of the most beautiful in the world, picture perfect coastal villages, incredible rock formations, a jagged coastline where fjords penetrate deeply into the country's interior, teeming wildlife and the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in all their magnificence from late August. On top of Norway’s natural beauty is of course their primeval history.
There are very few places you can dive with orcas. Our expeditions from Norway operate when the herring are migrating bringing these beautiful mammals. These expeditions operate in the Northern hemisphere winter, with the light giving way to excellent photography opportunities in the crystal clear water. This is a truly remarkable expedition.
On board your expedition all meals are included and prepared by our chefs. Meals are prepared to a restaurant standard and to cater for most diet requirements.
Zodiac excursions each day will take you in close proximity to wildlife. They will be your mode of transport to get up close and in the water with the Orca.
