norway 2027: EXPEDITION OVERVIEW
WE HAVE A NEW NORWAY ROUTE FOR 2027!
SKIRR Adventures returns for 2027 offering a new additional expedition, taking you further north and deeper into the Arctic than ever before.
Following our previous SKIRR expeditions, we’ve created a Norway addition – a new adventure sailing programme that combines offshore passages, Norwegian coastal sailing and a true High Arctic expedition.
This year’s adventure will take you from Gosport to Norway, before heading north through the spectacular Norwegian fjords, along the Arctic coast of Helgeland, Lofoten and Vesterålen, and onwards to the High Arctic and Svalbard.
The programme features six unique sailing legs, each offering a different experience:
- Into the North – Outbound Offshore Delivery Passage – Gosport to Bergen
- Kingdom of the Fjords – Norwegian Fjords – cruising through Norway’s spectacular fjord landscape
- Arctic Horizons – Helgeland – Arctic coastal sailing through remote islands and coastline
- Lofoten Wild – Lofoten & Vesterålen – exploring some of Norway’s most famous Arctic islands
- Into the High Arctic – High Arctic Expedition – Tromsø to Svalbard and back to Tromsø
- The Long Way Home – Tromsø to Gosport via the Faroe Islands, the Hebrides and southwest Ireland
Whether you want to build offshore miles, explore Norway’s spectacular coastline or venture further north into the High Arctic, SKIRR gives you the opportunity to join one leg or combine several to create your own extended adventure.
