# Expedition reports

Boreal Yachting publishes structured reports from named voyages: route sailed, anchorages used, weather encountered and wildlife seen, recorded so the next crew and the next guest can plan against something real.

Expedition reports

## 10 Days from Tromsø to Lofoten

Tromsø to Lofoten is roughly 200 nautical miles of coast, normally sailed in ten days. The route runs south through Kvaløya, Senja and Vesterålen before crossing to Lofoten, with sheltered inside passages available in most weather.](/journal/tromso-to-lofoten)

 [![One week sailing and trekking in Lofoten](/generated-images/article-trekking-lofoten-1920.webp)

Expedition reports

## One week sailing and trekking in Lofoten

A week of sailing and trekking in Lofoten pairs short passages between fishing villages with walks that start at the waterline. The boat carries the group to trailheads with no road, and the season runs from June to September under near-continuous daylight in midsummer.](/journal/sailing-trekking-lofoten)

 [![One week sailing and trekking on Senja](/generated-images/sail-trekking-card-1279.webp)

Expedition reports

## One week sailing and trekking on Senja

Senja is Norway's second-largest island, with a west coast of steep granite ridges and few roads. A week aboard reaches the outer bays by sea and walks from the anchorage, which is the only practical way to link several of these ridges in one trip.](/journal/sailing-trekking-senja)

 [![Two weeks to Liefdefjorden: deep into Svalbard](/generated-images/svalbard-glacier-1079.webp)

Expedition reports

## Two weeks to Liefdefjorden: deep into Svalbard

Liefdefjorden lies on the north coast of Spitsbergen, above 79°N, and needs about two weeks from Longyearbyen. The fjord ends at Monacobreen, a tidewater glacier several kilometres wide. Reaching it depends on the ice edge, which varies each season.](/journal/liefdefjorden-svalbard)

 [![One week from Tromsø: Senja, Lyngen and beyond](/generated-images/hero-sailing-1824.webp)

Expedition reports

## One week from Tromsø: Senja, Lyngen and beyond

A week from Tromsø normally covers Kvaløya, the Lyngen fjords and the eastern side of Senja without long open-water passages. Distances are short enough that a day's plan can change with the forecast and still reach an anchorage before evening.](/journal/one-week-tromso)

 [![One week sailing and trekking: Tromsø and Lyngen Alps](/generated-images/article-tromso-lyngen-trekking-1536.webp)

Expedition reports

## One week sailing and trekking: Tromsø and Lyngen Alps

A week between Tromsø and the Lyngen Alps combines short passages with daily walks from the anchorage. Lyngen holds peaks above 1,500 metres within a few kilometres of the water, so the boat replaces both the road and the car park.](/journal/one-week-sailing-and-trekking-around-tromso-and-lyngen-alps)
