Looking for the dream vacation? Allow yourself to be tempted by the magic of a luxury yacht charter around the Lofoten Islands in Norway and discover the sublime landscapes of this most extraordinary country.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable stay, discovering the Lofoten Islands aboard a luxury yacht. Cruising these waters, offers you the unique chance to experience sailing in the fjords. Take advantage of the many spectacular stopovers and discover the quaint beauty of the shoreline fishing villages.
We have selected three highlights for a charter in Norway so you can get a taste of what this fabulous charter destination has waiting for you.
In summer, the Lofoten Islands bask in the Midnight Sun, with daylight lasting 24 hours a day. This unique phenomenon lets you kayak, hike, or enjoy a midnight picnic under a golden sky. The stunning landscapes are even more magical in this light, creating perfect moments for exploration.
The Lofoten Islands will transport you back in time with their countless small fishing villages. See how the locals live by wandering amongst their quaint red fishing huts, ask your crew to organize a trip out on a local fishing boat, and of course, sample the local seafood.
By opting for a yacht charter, you will be able to witness the Fjords of the Lofoten Islands up close – many of them are only accessible by boat. Don’t miss Trollfjord, one of the shortest yet most striking of the region, to witness some stunning views from the comfort of your luxury charter yacht.
