Swim alongside giants in Norway’s frozen wilderness
January 16 – 23, 2026
Every winter, the fjords of northern Norway come alive with one of nature’s most breathtaking events. Vast shoals of herring draw in pods of orcas, followed by humpbacks, fin whales, and minkes — transforming these icy waters into a stage of power and grace.
Join Oceans Nation × Discover Sharks for an expedition into the heart of the Arctic. A rare opportunity to witness whales and orcas feeding in the wild, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, northern lights, and the untouched beauty of Norway’s remote fjords.
The Experience
For seven unforgettable days, you’ll explore the fjords aboard small boats designed for close encounters. Each morning, we set out across glassy Arctic waters in search of orcas and whales as they hunt herring beneath the winter sun.
You’ll enter the water with them — snorkeling at the surface as orcas glide past in the crystal-clear blue. It’s cold, wild, and awe-inspiring.
This is a small-group expedition limited to just 6 people, bringing together an international crew of ocean lovers from around the world. Every moment is guided by experienced professionals and captured by world-class photographers.
