Norway and Svalbard cruise

Enjoy a relaxing journey through the spectacular landscapes that surround the Nordfjord, one of Norway’s most striking fjord regions. Settle into your seat as you depart from Nordfjordeid and travel through charming villages, rolling valleys, and dramatic mountain scenery. Your route includes photo stops at the impressive Kvalen and Nos viewpoints, each offering breathtaking panoramas from more than 1,600 feet above sea level. From these lofty vantage points, take in sweeping views of Nordfjord, Norway’s sixth-longest fjord, carved deep into the landscape by ancient glaciers. Continuing along the fjord, your drive turns inland toward the remarkable Hornindal Lake. Known as Europe’s deepest lake at 1,686 feet, Hornindal is also celebrated as the continent’s clearest, thanks to its pure, glacier-free waters. With serene lake views framed by snow-capped mountains, your scenic journey loops back toward Nordfjordeid, concluding a tranquil exploration of Norway’s natural beauty. Please Note: Tour is mainly panoramic by bus with some photo stops.

Begin your excursion in Eid and travel toward the beautiful Briksdal Valley, enjoying stunning views of mountains, green valleys, and the Nordfjord. The route passes the deep waters of Hornindalsvatn before reaching the charming village of Olden, then continues along the turquoise shores of Lake Oldevatn to Briksdal Mountain Inn. Here you will transfer to a quiet, electric troll car, which carries you through the valley and up toward Jostedalsbreen National Park. The 15-minute ride winds past rivers and waterfalls, beginning with a short steep section before leveling out. At the park entrance, leave the troll car and walk the final 500 meters to the viewpoint overlooking the impressive Briksdal Glacier. After admiring the glacier’s dramatic ice and mountain scenery, return to the inn for lunch before heading back to Eid. The return journey follows the scenic Nordfjord, passing through the peaceful villages of Loen and Stryn as your day in glacier country comes to an end. Minimum participation required; tour may be cancelled or subject to price changes if not met.

Experience the thrill of a RIB safari on the Nordfjord, combining high-speed adventure with stunning fjord scenery. Your captain and guide will meet you just outside the cruise gate, where you’ll be equipped with a flotation suit, life jacket, and goggles before boarding the RIB. After a safety briefing, cruise out of Nordfjordeid harbour, enjoying excellent views of the village and the ship before the pace picks up out on the open fjord. Surrounded by towering mountains and deep blue water, feel the excitement as the RIB accelerates, with stops along the way for photos and local storytelling. Visit a salmon farm, taste Norwegian chocolate, sample fresh glacier water at a waterfall, and learn how the region harnesses hydropower. As you explore deeper into the fjord, admire traditional farms, dramatic peaks rising 1,500 metres above the water, and—if you’re lucky—spot sea eagles or porpoises.

Descubra a 'Língua do Troll' de Nordfjordeid — a dramática saliência rochosa de Galten, que se projeta bem acima do fiorde. Semelhante à famosa Trolltunga, mas bem menos movimentada, Galten oferece um dos mirantes mais deslumbrantes e fotogênicos da região. Sua aventura começa com um trajeto de 45 minutos de microônibus por estradas à beira do fiorde, passando por fazendas tradicionais e pequenas vilas. Ao se aproximar de Folkestad, a paisagem torna-se cada vez mais impressionante, com montanhas íngremes que se erguem diretamente da água.

Discover Trondheim, one of Norway’s oldest and most historically significant cities, founded in 997 by the Viking king Olav Tryggvason. Today, Trondheim is a vibrant community of around 190,000 residents, where ancient heritage blends seamlessly with modern life. From the pier, your tour begins with a drive through the bustling city center, passing the market square and its statue of the city’s Viking founder before arriving at the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral. Built in the 12th century, this Gothic masterpiece is Scandinavia’s largest medieval church and once ranked among Europe’s most important pilgrimage destinations. Just behind the cathedral stands the Archbishop’s Palace, a fortified complex dating from the Middle Ages and former seat of Norway’s Catholic Archbishop until the Reformation in 1537. Rejoining the coach, admire views of the picturesque Old Town Bridge and the colorful wooden warehouses lining the river as you head toward Sverresborg Folk Museum.

Trondheim was founded in 997 AC and was the first capital of Norway. Presently it is the 3rd largest city in Norway, but it is still where the new kings & queens receive their ceremonial blessing. The city centre is situated by the Trondheimsfjord — around the bends at the mouth of the River Nidelva — and is a blend of old and new. From the pier you will walk to the town center, passing through the pedestrian areas towards Nidaros Cathedral. The Cathedral is built on the gravesite of Norway’s patron Saint — and is therefore the original St. Olav’s Church — an important destination for pilgrims before the reformation. The West Wall is richly ornamented in stone. You continue via the Old City Bridge to Bakklandet. In the Bakklandet area most of the houses are small and built from wood by sailors, fishermen and labourers. The charming surroundings close to the city centre have been recognized by modern people that have restored the buildings and moved in, giving the area a new life including small cafés and shops. Among the curiosities in the area are a special bicycle lift — called Trampe — up the steep Brubakken Hill. Entrance to the Cathedral is included as a visit to enjoy at your leisure, not guided. Minimum participation required; tour may be cancelled or subject to price changes if not met.

Step back into the world of the Vikings with an immersive visit to the remarkable longhouse at Borg, one of Lofoten’s most important archaeological sites. Discovered by a farmer in the early 1980s, this ancient homestead is believed to have belonged to a powerful chieftain during the Middle Ages. Today, the site features a beautifully reconstructed longhouse—an impressive 272-foot structure—where exhibitions bring Viking daily life, craftsmanship, and culture vividly to life. Your visit also includes the nearby Tufta excavation site, where ground markings reveal the original layout of turf walls and supporting pillars uncovered during archaeological digs. As you explore both the reconstruction and the authentic remains, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how Vikings lived, worked, and ruled in this remote region. Outside, meet some of the animals that once sustained Viking communities, including wild boar, fjord horses, and sheep. After time to wander the site and absorb its fascinating history, rejoin your motor coach for the return journey to your ship.

Saddle up for a relaxed horseback ride through the breathtaking landscapes of northern Norway. Located in the heart of the Lofoten archipelago, the island of Gimsøya offers an unforgettable blend of rugged mountains, jagged peaks, dramatic cliffs, and sweeping white-sand beaches. From the pier, enjoy a scenic transfer to a rural horse farm set along the island’s pristine western shoreline. Upon arrival, receive a short introduction before meeting your horse and heading out into the open terrain. As you ride, your guide will share fascinating stories of the island’s ancient past, including sites linked to a pagan temple, Viking-era burial grounds, and the former residence of a powerful Viking chieftain who lived here over a thousand years ago. This settlement is believed to have been home to Tore Hjort, a local leader famously slain by King Olav Tryggvason in the late 10th century. After returning your horse to the stables, enjoy the tranquil surroundings one last time before departing for the short transfer back to your ship. Minimum participation required; tour may be cancelled or subject to price changes if not met.

Discover Tromsø’s rich polar heritage, striking architecture, and sweeping Arctic views on this memorable excursion. Begin at the Polar Museum, housed in an 1837 waterfront warehouse, where captivating exhibits illuminate the city’s role as a gateway to Arctic exploration. Learn about the daring expeditions of famed Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who departed from Tromsø on key voyages—including his successful journey to the North Pole in 1926. Continue to the Arctic Cathedral, an architectural icon completed in 1965. Its dramatic, triangular form and soaring white façade have earned it the nickname “Norway’s Opera House.” Inside, the serene interior of clean lines, pale colours, and striking stained-glass accents reflects the cool beauty of the Arctic landscape.
