MS Polarys Hurtigruten Tromsø to Svolvær (Lofoten Islands) 

We woke up to sunny skies – and an announcement about daily activities and breakfast!

The day was pretty low key as it was just a day of cruising. The scenery was gorgeous though! We sat up in the panorama lounge and read and chatted with another woman for a while. We napped a bit too. Very nice to catch up on sleep!

They coordinated to have a tour bus pass over the bridge and everyone was to wave and wave the Norwegian flag. Kinda cute:)

Another Hurtigruten Cruise leaving a port we passed by:

It started snowing a ton and that dashed our chances of doing a Northern Lights Tour in Lofoten:(

We caught a cab to a small fishing island across from Svolvær where we docked, called Svinoya Rorbuer where we stayed in a fishing cabin on the water called a rorbu. It was so unique! We loved just hanging out in it!

We ate at the hotel restaurant – which luckily is known to be one of the best in the area (Borsen Spiseri) ! It was amazing! Stockfish is the speciality in Lofoten and it did not disappoint.

The sky cleared, but no northern lights:(
