Take a winter break with a difference this year - our 5-day and 6 -day Arctic Highlights now includes a FREE whale watching excursion in Tromsø! You will be taken out on a sea trip in search of a close encounter with the area's native Minke, Humpback and Orca whales. The Arctic Highlights itinerary starts in Tromsø and sails north, heading for the North Cape and Russian border. At night-time all eyes will be focussed skyward in the hope of catching a glimpse of the incredible Northern Lights. Being so far from the light pollution of towns, and directly beneath the correct latitudes, a Hurtigruten Voyage offers guests the best chance of seeing this breathtaking phenomenon. You will also enjoy the freshest local cuisine on board, a choice of optional excursions* and the friendly company of like-minded passengers. Spaces are limited on this special offer, so ensure you book early to avoid disappointment. Applicable sailings depart in December 2014 with direct flights from Gatwick and Manchester.

*Optional excursions at extra cost
