Alta, Norway

Northern Lights Cathedral & Private Recital

Stunning Modern Church and Musical Performance Enjoy a private recital in one of Alta’s most striking modern landmarks and a guided tour. Meet your guide and head to the city center, where the elegant Northern Lights Cathedral is located. Built to reflect the northern lights—both literally and figuratively—this contemporary circular cathedral has been delighting guests with its challenging symbolism and unique design since its opening in 2013. As you explore, learn many interesting facts about the church’s construction and artwork. Inside, admire the vertical lighting display that creates a unique visual effect and the 14-foot-high bronze statue of Christ. Then, take a seat and enjoy a musical concert featuring piano and organ performances, ranging from classical to modern pieces. Later, board your motor coach and return to your ship. Please note: sightings of the northern lights cannot be guaranteed. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
