    Today, you'll be exploring the archipelagos of Lofoten and Vesteralen, real highlights of our Norway scenic route. After Finnsnes early in the morning, the ship calls at Harstad where the white-washed Trondenes Church, the world's northernmost medieval stone church, sits on the peninsula. Next is our smallest port of call Risoyhamn and then Sortland where the landscape slowly transforms from hills to 3,000-foot-high mountains. The Hurtigruten's birthplace Stokmarknes is where Captain Richard With began the Coastal Express in 1893. Visit Hurtigrutemuseet, a ship-in-a-bottle building that chronicles its legacy, centered around retired ship MS Finnmarken from 1956. Sailing along Raftsund, the captain may choose to take the ship into tiny Trollfjord if the weather allows. The mountain walls will look so close you'll think you can reach out and brush them! To exit the fjord, the ship will rotate 180 degrees on the spot, then sail back out. Remember to look out for sea eagles here too. We reach Svolvaer in the evening. The huge mountain that sits above the town is named the Svolvaer Goat due to its supposed resemblance. See if you agree! The ship then sails for Stamsund, eventually passing the giant granite cliffs of the Lofoten Wall. ...

We make a short stop at Nesna before sailing on to Sandnessjoen, gateway to the magnificent Helgeland Coast. Admire the stunning landscape of the Seven Sisters mountain range, with peaks up to 3,000 feet high. The tale goes that seven beautiful troll princesses, fleeing from an unwanted suitor, got caught out as the sun rose, turning them into the seven beautiful mountains you see today. You'll also not want to miss views of Torghatten Mountain, with the distinctive hole in it. There is a local legend as to why and how this mountain came to have such a hole. Make sure you ask your Expedition Team about it! We reach Bronnoysund mid-afternoon. Explore the bustling marina on a walk along Havnegata. In the center of town is Bronnoy Church: a stone church in the Neo-Gothic style dating back to 1870.

    Our Norwegian coastal cruise together, at least this time, will reach its end later today. During the previous night, we'll call at Alesund and Torvik. On our approach to Maloy, you might catch a glimpse of the northbound Coastal Express if you're up early enough. You'll have a chance to glimpse Nordfjord, under the enormous Jostedal Glacier, mainland Europe's largest. The ship then docks at Floro in the morning where you can take in the harbor and marina. Leaving Floro, you'll spot Stabben Lighthouse, a favorite subject for photographers. There's also stunning views to enjoy as we cross the mouth of Sognefjord, the longest and widest fjord in the whole of Norway. As we reach our final port in the afternoon, the ship will navigate through the last islands and skerries of our Norway scenic route, and sail down Hjeltefjord to arrive into Bergen. But luckily your journey is not over yet. After disembarkation you'll take that transfer bus to your hotel to check in. Spend the afternoon discovering the city known as the 'Gateway to the Fjords'. Founded in 1070 CE, Bergen retains much of its historical charm and character, making it a fascinating place to explore. Perhaps start by visiting the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen district, where colorful wharfs dating back to the 14th century stand as a testament to the city's rich trading history. Stroll through the cobblestone alleyways lined with quaint shops, art galleries, and cozy cafes. Enjoy a meal at a cafe or restaurant, sampling local delicacies such as fresh fish and traditional Norwegian dishes. For a bird's-eye view of the city, take a trip on the Floibanen funicular to the top of Mount Floyen. The panoramic views from the summit are truly captivating, offering a great perspective of Bergen and the surrounding fjords. Don't miss the famous fish market, where you can sample an array of fresh seafood and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling port city, with its blend of historical sites, natural beauty, and lively culture. ...
