YOUR TRIP

Embark on a grand voyage from urban elegance to the heart of nature’s masterpiece. Our cruise, "Norwegian Fjords: A Wonder to be Discovered," charts a course from the charming canals of Amsterdam to the dramatic landscapes of the Arctic Circle. This journey reveals the sublime beauty of the Norwegian coast, from the historic Hardangerfjord to the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and the captivating Lofoten islands.

As you sail, each day reveals breathtaking new vistas: the colossal Svartisen Glacier, thunderous Seven Sisters waterfalls cascading into Geirangerfjord, and soaring eagles navigating the impossibly narrow Trollfjorden. Beyond natural spectacles, discover rich Viking heritage in Trondheim and Norway's oldest church in charming Rosendal village. Experience the Arctic's raw power and ethereal beauty from the surreal Midnight Sun illuminating northern skies to intimate wildlife encounters.

Join kayaking expeditions, absorb expert lectures and hone photography skills while fellow travellers share stories on leisurely sea days. From panoramic observation decks, witness a region steeped in polar exploration history. This is more than a cruise - it's a journey where every fjord, glacier and ancient town reveals stories waiting to be discovered.

Amsterdam is a gorgeous Dutch city where a boat cruise along the canals gets to the heart of things. Yet, the magic also unfolds while strolling through narrow streets and crossing the hundreds of bridges. It houses a treasure trove of fabulous art museums, including the Rijksmuseum, adorned with Dutch Masters, conveniently located near the Van Gogh Museum. To the south, picturesque stretches of countryside with windmills line the canals.

Tucked between majestic mountains and the Hardangerfjord, Rosendal blends natural beauty and rich heritage. Kvinnherad Church, one of Norway’s oldest, pairs 13th-century history with fjord views.

Tucked away amongst the hills of Trondheim fjord, Trondheim is a Viking city founded in the 11th century that is filled with colourful timber buildings. Nidaros Cathedral is the burial site of Viking king St Olav (c. 995 – 29 July 1030). The mighty 17th-century Kristiansten Fortress is the country’s best preserved fortification. Stiftsgården, the Norwegian royal residence, is believed to be one of the largest wooden buildings in northern Europe.

The mighty Svartisen glacier, Norway’s second biggest, pours down the mountain almost to Svartisvatnet lake. The glacier visitor centre is a fascinating place with access to hikes along the edge of the ice flow, up to 200 m thick. Glorious Holandsfjord is just the other end of a short channel from the lake and the ship has stirring views. The little village of Holandsvika sits across the fjord, with an 18-km lakeside path and boat trips.

In the Lofoten Islands, Leknes, the main town on Vestvågøya island above the Arctic Circle, is nestled on the bay-like Buksnesfjorden. The surreal landscape features red-painted houses against craggy, mountainous isles. In summer, the white sand beaches resemble the South Seas, while the region experiences almost two months of the Midnight Sun.

Trollfjorden is unbelievable. A 100m-wide entrance to a narrow fjord with near-vertical mountainous sides up to 1,100 m high, the passage slices through Austvågøya, on the edge of the Lofoten Islands. As the ship enters the fjord, the silence is only broken by the gentle sound of the ship's engines and the occasional cry of a white-tailed eagle soaring overhead. At the end of the fjord, the ship slowly spins, offering a final captivating view.
