Embark on a journey beneath the Northern Lights and uncover the real-life locations that inspired the magical world of Disney’s *Frozen*—a dreamlike voyage through Norway.

Sailing from Bergen to Tromsø aboard a private Pelorus yacht, you will encounter the people, wildlife, and landscapes that served as the inspiration for the film, traveling through icy fjords and enchanting winter scenery.

Meet the real-life counterparts to the characters from *Frozen* and step into a world of reindeer, fireside warmth, and ancient songs, brought to life through specially curated, themed experiences. Celebrate the power of family—a central theme of *Frozen*—through shared adventures designed to bring you closer together: from meeting reindeer alongside the Sámi herding communities to gathering around the fire to hear stories, share traditions, and create unforgettable memories.

Beyond the snow-capped mountains, deep fjords, reindeer, and folklore of *Frozen* lies a real place waiting to be discovered. On this family adventure, Pelorus invites you to explore the locations that inspired the magical Kingdom of Arendelle from the deck of a private yacht, where you can immerse yourself in the landscapes, communities, and traditions of Northern Norway. Sail among remote islands and breathtaking fjords, go ashore to meet the people of the Arctic, and uncover a culture shaped by snow, the sea, and the changing seasons.

 

 

Begin your adventure amidst the mountains and fjords of Lofoten, where picturesque fishing villages nestle beneath towering peaks—a landscape that offers an initial glimpse into the real-world inspiration behind Arendelle. Kayak through sheltered fjords, explore inaccessible beaches, and land in a natural setting of forests, mountains, and sea. With towering peaks rising from the icy waters all around you, it is easy to imagine Elsa’s journey to the North Mountain to create her spectacular ice palace.

Accompanied by an expert forager and chef, explore Norway through its flavors as you traverse the coastline and enchanted forests in search of seasonal ingredients—such as seaweed, berries, fir, and juniper. Back on board the yacht, your discoveries will come to life at dinner, where a creative chef will transform these gathered ingredients into a traditional Nordic menu inspired by the elements of the Arctic: ice, snow, sea, forest, and fire.

Delving into Norway’s cultural landscape, your next destination offers the chance to spend time with a Sami family, whose tradition of reindeer herding spans generations. Meeting the herd is an unforgettable experience: feed the reindeer, walk alongside them, discover their individual personalities, and see who among you finds their own "Sven."

 

 

Learn about the rhythms of the herd before practicing the basics of traditional lasso-throwing—with a fun, friendly challenge to see who masters the technique first—before gathering inside a *lavvu* (a traditional, temporary dwelling) around a campfire. As evening falls, share stories and refreshments while learning more about the rich traditions and history of the Sami people, all while the enchanting sounds of the *joik*—a traditional form of singing—fill the air.

Venture even deeper into the Arctic, where Norway’s wintry wilderness becomes increasingly remote. Snow-capped mountains, frozen coastlines, and tranquil fjords create the perfect setting for enjoyment both on land and at sea. This morning, embark on an exhilarating husky-sledding adventure across the snow, pause by a crackling fire to warm up with hot chocolate, and let the stillness of the landscape envelop you as you journey northward through a true winter wonderland.

As night falls, the focus shifts to the Northern Lights. Far from city lights, these remote waters offer an exceptional opportunity to witness the Aurora Borealis. The yacht can adjust its course based on conditions, allowing for evenings spent on deck or at a fireside camp on shore, beneath the Arctic sky. With a professional photographer on hand, turn the evening into a fun, family-oriented cinematic challenge—learning to capture the colors and movement of the Aurora while creating your own Arctic night scenes. The magic continues with a *Frozen*-inspired feast, prepared by a chef, transforming the yacht into your very own Arendelle for the night.

Gather around a candlelight-lit table to enjoy a unique menu inspired by the film and the surrounding landscapes: from delicate, snow-dusted canapés and Nordic dishes that celebrate the sea and mountains, to shimmering, ice-inspired desserts and warming beverages worthy of the occasion.

...from Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post. After dinner, enjoy a special onboard screening of *Frozen*—this time, recognizing the landscapes, wildlife, and traditions you’ve encountered in real life.

 

 

Guardians of the Arctic

Venture into the frigid waters of Vesterålen and Andøya, and you will arrive in the Kingdom of the Whales. Here, adventure takes on a new meaning as you join an expert marine biologist in search of some of the ocean’s most extraordinary inhabitants. Spend the day becoming a guardian of the Arctic, learning to identify and track whales, and using hydrophones to listen to the underwater world for humpback whales and other abundant marine species.

As the expedition concludes, the journey ends in a world sculpted from snow and ice—brought to life by local artists and musicians, some of whom even lent their voices to the *Frozen* films.

Your luxury vessel, *Captain Arctic*—a 70-meter-long, 14-meter-wide expedition yacht—is designed to explore the Far North with minimal environmental impact. Powered primarily by wind and solar energy, it combines near-zero-emission navigation with exceptional comfort, featuring panoramic lounges, an Arctic library, an outdoor spa, a sauna, and a Norwegian cold plunge. Equipped with an onboard scientific laboratory and a range of gear for cold-water adventures, it is the perfect vessel for this journey, allowing families to explore Norway’s icy landscapes while learning more about the fragile environments they traverse.
