    Bergen, Norway
    • Bergen, Norway
    Surrounded by seven mountains and opening onto a network of fjords, Bergen has been a meeting place for seafarers, traders, and explorers for centuries. Founded in 1070 CE, Norway's second-largest city combines a rich maritime heritage with a vibrant contemporary culture, making it one of Scandinavia's most fascinating destinations. It's also the perfect place from which to begin your voyage. If time allows, take the opportunity to explore the historic Bryggen district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Bergen's most recognizable landmarks. Its colorful wooden wharves date back to the Hanseatic era, when merchants from across northern Europe helped shape the city's fortunes. Today, narrow alleyways and crooked passageways packed with old wooden buildings stow away independent galleries, artisan workshops, and cozy cafes. Just a short walk away is Bergen's famous Fish Market, or Fisketorget, where generations of locals have gathered to buy and sell the freshest seafood from Norway's coast. Here you can sample everything from shrimp and salmon to local delicacies while watching daily life unfold along the harbor. For a different perspective, ride the Floibanen funicular to the summit of Mount Floyen. From the top, panoramic views stretch across the city, surrounding islands, and the waterways that have connected coastal communities for generations. On a clear day, you'll gain a sense of the intricate coastline that lies ahead. Before boarding, you might wish to spend some relaxation time in the comfortable Hurtigruten Guest Lounge at Jektevik Terminal. With complimentary snacks and drinks, you'll also find free Wi-Fi as well as charger sockets. Luggage lockers are also available here, if you want to do some exploring during the day. As evening falls, we depart Bergen and sail north through the Hjeltefjord, the historic sea route once traveled by Viking longships heading towards the North Atlantic. Beyond the city, the landscape quickly changes. The coast becomes a maze of islands, skerries, and sheltered waterways, and it's well worth spending time out on deck, watching fishing villages, lighthouses, and rocky shorelines drift by. ...

    • Floro, Norway
    • Maloy, Norway
    • Torvik, Norway
    • Alesund, Norway
    • Molde, Norway
    During the night, we call briefly at Floro and Maloy before a short stop at Torvik in the early morning. As the day unfolds, you'll find yourself gazing at some of the most picturesque coastal scenery in Norway. Leaving Nordfjord behind, we sail past the rugged headland of West Cape for our approach to Alesund. Alesund: By mid-morning, we arrive in Alesund, one of Norway's most distinctive towns. Rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style after a devastating fire in 1904, the town is renowned for its elegant architecture, colorful facades, and decorative towers. Stretching across a series of islands, Alesund has long been an important fishing port and remains deeply connected to the sea. Please note that, outside of the winter season, we stop at Alesund twice today: a short visit on arrival, then a return call in the evening. In spring, summer and autumn, in between these stops we sail into the fjords (see below). From October through April, when the fjords are not visited, you will instead have the whole day in Alesund to explore at your own pace. If you're looking for a panoramic view, consider climbing the steps to Mount Aksla, where you'll be rewarded with sweeping vistas across the town, surrounding islands, and distant mountains. Nature enthusiasts may also enjoy a visit to Atlanterhavsparken, one of Northern Europe's largest saltwater aquariums, showcasing marine life from the Norwegian coast. Into the fjords: In May and September, we venture into the magnificent Hjorundfjord, a secluded fjord in the dramatic Sunnmore Alps. Free from the crowds found elsewhere, this peaceful waterway is lined with towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and tiny farms clinging to the hillsides. We also pay a visit to the picturesque village of Urke, where a handful of historic houses and spectacular scenery combine to create one of the most atmospheric stops on the voyage. In summer, we continue into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord, often considered one of the most beautiful fjords in the world. As we navigate deep into this narrow waterway, sheer cliffs rise dramatically from the water while waterfalls tumble from great heights. Keep watch for the famous Seven Sisters waterfall, whose seven streams cascade gracefully down the mountainside. Old, heritage farms cling improbably to steep slopes, reminders of the generations who once thrived in these remote areas. Viewed from the water, the fjord reveals its full scale and grandeur. For those wishing to explore further, the optional excursion to the Trollstigen mountain road combines spectacular viewpoints, dramatic engineering, and some of the most celebrated scenery in the Norwegian fjords. Please note that your ship does not dock at the cruise terminal pier in Geiranger. Instead, guests who are either disembarking or joining the excursion will be transported with tender boats by Geiranger Fjordservice from the ship to shore, or vice versa. Please arrive before 1:45 pm for the tender boat. Note: MS Vesteralen does not visit Geirangerfjord but does visit Hjorundfjord. Alesund and Molde: We then continue north towards Molde. Known as the City of Roses, Molde occupies a beautiful setting overlooking the Romsdalsfjord, with the famous Molde Panorama visible across the water. On a clear evening, you may glimpse the outline of more than 200 mountain peaks, creating one of Norway's most celebrated views. ...

    Trondheim, Norway
    • Trondheim, Norway
    We arrive at Trondheim just after breakfast. If you've got some time before your onward journey, you might like to explore the city's sights. Founded by Viking king Olav Tryggvason in 997, Trondheim today is Norway's third-largest city and a mix of historic buildings and a vibrant student population. A must-see site of the city is Nidaros Cathedral, nicknamed "Norway's Notre Dame" for its Gothic style and considered the most sacred building in all of Norway. Next door to the cathedral is the Archbishop's Palace where Norway's crown jewels are on display. Nearby, the old city bridge Gamle Bybro sits over Nid River, marking the entrance to the old Hanseatic district of Bakklandet. The neighborhood's colorful wooden wharves propped up on stilts by the river's edge now house a variety of eateries. Up from Bakklandet is Kristiansten Fort which offers beautiful panoramas of the city and fjord. ...
