The Lodge
Your base in the Lyngen Alps
Lodge Havnnes is a historic trading post in the Arctic, transformed into a luxury private lodge for our guests.
During the hunting expedition it serves as your base — with private rooms, gourmet meals composed around each day's hunt, a drying room for gear, a fireplace, ocean views and the full warmth of Arctic hospitality.
Guests return each evening to the lodge for dinner, stories from the hunt and relaxation after a day in the field.

Archipelago
Expedition Motor Catamaran
Archipelago is the flagship of Northern Yachting AS, an expedition motor catamaran built for extended private journeys through the fjords and islands of Northern Norway. The catamaran hull gives exceptional stability and generous deck space, making her an ideal platform for whale watching, northern lights cruises and photography.
Inside, a warm and fully insulated interior, a heated saloon with panoramic windows and comfortable overnight cabins let guests stay out for several days and wake up in a different fjord each morning. She is the mobile base for our most exclusive journeys, including whale adventures from Lodge Havnnes and sea to summit ski touring to remote peaks.
Onboard dining is prepared by the crew, including Pelle, our marine biologist and chef. Operated from Tromsø with captain, guide and chef on every journey.

Guest Stories
Words from our guests
Lifetime memories were made here. The majesty of the mountains and sea may only be exceeded by the luxury service and incredible people.
It's rare for me to be this blown away by an experience. The speed and level of service of Northern-Yachting is unlike anything I've done before.
My experience went beyond what I could have dreamt up. The boat, the skiing, the service, the views, the food - all of it was a 10 out of a 10. I didn´t want to leave!
