ITINERARY

Day 1: The Cruise begins from Bergen

Your journey begins in Bergen, the gateway to the Norwegian fjords. Spend time here exploring the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, stroll the vibrant harbour, or take the Fløibanen funicular for panoramic views.

Check-in for the cruise starts at 15.00, with boarding from 16.00, leaving you plenty of time to get acquainted with the ship’s facilities. Settle in to your cabin and enjoy your first meal, before departing port at 20:30.

Day 2: The Magical Fjords

Awake to views of Norway’s spectacular western coastline as the ship calls at a series of ports before arriving in Ålesund, famed for its Art Nouveau architecture.

Please note, during summer sailings you have the option to continue to the stunning Geiranger Fjord and Hjorundfjord to witness their dramatic waterfalls and mountain scenery.

Ports today: Floro, Maloy, Torvik, Alesund, Geiranger, Hjorundfjord, Alesund, Molde

Day 3: Leaving the Fjords

In the morning, dock in Norway’s former Viking capital Trondheim, which was founded over a thousand years ago. Rich in medieval heritage, the city’s main attraction is Nidaros Cathedral, one of the largest Cathedrals in Northern Europe.

The ship departs again at 12.45, heading north towards the Northern region.

Ports today: Kristiansund, Trondheim, Rorvik

Day 4: The Northern Adventure

Today marks a key milestone as you cross the Arctic Circle, celebrating the occasion with a ceremony, before heading to the Arctic regions. Here, you experience the power of nature with a visit to northern Scandinavia’s largest glacier and the world’s strongest tidal current in the Lofoten Islands. In the evening, visit Svolvaer, the main town on the islands and a former fishing hub. In the summer months you can witness the midnight sun and during winter, you may view the Northern Lights.

Day 7: The Journey ends
