    Bergen, Norway
    • Bergen, Norway
    Your voyage starts in Bergen, Norway's second-largest city and a gateway to the fjords. Founded in 1070 AD, Bergen boasts architecture influenced by the prosperous 14th-century German trading organization, the Hanseatic League. If you have time before your ship departs, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed wharfs in the colorful Bryggen district, now a neighborhood with artisan's shops, complete with cobblestone streets. Just across the street is the famous fish market, which serves delicious seafood. The Floibanen funicular can also take you up to the top of Mount Floyen for views of the city. Your voyage begins: Before boarding, relax in the comfortable guest lounge at the terminal. Once aboard, enjoy the first of many delicious meals made from fresh coastal produce as we depart Bergen and sail the old Viking route along the Hjeltefjord. You'll also meet your ship's Coastal Experience Team, who will be your guides as we sail Norway's coastline. They'll organize lectures, onboard activities, and optional hikes. Time in port: Bergen: 2:45 pm-8:30 pm. ...

    • Floro, Norway
    • Maloy, Norway
    • Torvik, Norway
    • Alesund, Norway
    • Molde, Norway
    Enjoy early morning in the Nordfjord, near Torvik. Then we'll sail past the West Cape for our approach to Alesund. Art Nouveau city: Alesund is renowned for its beautiful Art Nouveau architecture and Atlanterhavsparken, one of northern Europe's largest saltwater aquariums. If you're traveling in spring or winter, you'll have most of the day to explore this picturesque town. Into the fjords: In the summer, from June to August, we set course for UNESCO World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord. This is a protected and preserved piece of paradise with towering mountain cliffs and waterfalls like the famous Seven Sisters cascading into the fjord. Note: Geirangerfjord is replaced by Hjorundfjord for the following sailings: 2024: 16th June, 27th June, 8th July, 19th July, 30th July, 10th August, 21st August; 2025: 1st June, 12th June, 23rd June, 4th July, 15th July, 26th July, 6th August, 17th August, 28th August. In spring, from April to May, and in fall, from September to October (only on voyages departing in 2025-26), your ship will sail to Hjorundfjord, hidden away in the Sunnmore Alps. There'll also be a call at the scenic village of Urke to gaze at the view of thousand-year-old farms, the fjord, and the lush mountainsides. Mountains and roses: The last port of the day is Molde. In summer, there might just enough daylight to see the amazing view of the 222 mountain peaks across the fjord, called the 'Molde Panorama'. And from mid-June to late August, the streets and gardens are adorned with roses of all shades and scents, all solidify Molde's nickname as the 'City of Roses'. Time in port: Floro: 2:45 am-3 am; Maloy: 5:15 am-5:30 am; Torvik: 8:20 am-8:30 am; Alesund: 9:45 am-8 pm; Molde: 10:35 pm-11:05 pm. ...

    • Kristiansund, Norway
    • Trondheim, Norway
    • Rorvik, Norway
    This section of the voyage brings us to the Trondelag region of Norway, marked by crumpled hills, fields dotted with farmsteads, and low-lying coastal settlements. Magical, medieval, and modern: Trondheim was founded by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997 AD and is now Norway's third-largest city. It features a mix of historic buildings and a lively student population. You'll have three hours to explore Trondheim and its various highlights, either on your own or on one of the optional excursions. A must-see site of the city is Nidaros Cathedral, nicknamed 'Norway's Notre Dame' for its Gothic architectural style. It is 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, which are propped up on stilts by the river's edge, now house a variety of restaurants. Up from Bakklandet is Kristiansten Fort, which has beautiful panoramic views of the city and fjord. Back onboard: In the afternoon, the ship will sail northwest, passing the ochre-colored Kjeungskjaer Lighthouse, islets, and rocky reefs. After that, we'll head towards charming Rorvik. Time in port: Kristiansund: 2:45 am-3 am; Trondheim: 9:45 am-12:45 pm; Rorvik: 9:40 pm-10 pm. ...

    • Ornes, Norway
    • Bodo, Norway
    • Stamsund, Norway

    We cross the Arctic Circle early in the morning, beginning your Arctic tour of Norway. We mark the moment with a traditional ceremony that's sure to wake you up. Above the Arctic Circle in summer, you can enjoy the sun 24 hours a day, while in winter, your chances of seeing the Northern Lights greatly improve. Forces of nature: At 10 am, we'll dock in Ornes, near Norway's second-largest glacier, Svartisen. The pier here is popular for the 'Love Bench', where sweethearts declare their lasting romance with a padlock. Then we'll sail to Bodo, Northern Norway's second-largest city, overlooked by the Borvasstindan peaks. Admire fabulous street art or join an optional boat excursion to Saltstraumen, the world's most powerful maelstrom. Welcome to Lofoten: The ship enters the Lofoten Archipelago in the afternoon. The Lofoten Wall, standing over 3,200 feet tall, is a stunning sight on the horizon. Stamsund is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the islands, which is busiest between January and April, when the Arctic cod-known locally as skrei-swim from the Barents Sea in the north down to Vestfjord to spawn. This evening, you'll know you've arrived in the pretty harbor of Svolvaer when you see rows of traditional fisherman's huts on stilts, known as rorbuer. This is the main town of the Lofoten Islands.

Gateway to the Arctic: Then we'll sail to the historic Arctic exploration capital of Tromso, where you'll have four hours to explore the city or join an optional excursion. Along the waterfront you'll find Polaria, a center exhibiting environmental research in the Arctic with a small aquarium. Pop in to one of the many shops and restaurants in the city center, including Mack Brewery and the Olhallen pub, a favorite local watering hole. There are also cafes offering delicious cinnamon buns where baristas create innovative coffee-foam art. Across the fjord from where the ship docks, check out the iconic Arctic Cathedral, with its beautiful stained-glass mosaic.

    • Kjollefjord, Norway
    • Mehamn, Norway, Norway
    • Berlevag, Norway
    The ship reaches the town of Hammerfest on the island of Kvaloya early in the morning. In the summer, herds of reindeer migrate to the island by the thousands. You'll know we've reached Havoysund when you see the wind turbines of the landmark Havoygavlen wind farm, which produces enough electricity to power 6,000 local homes. At the top of Europe: In the mid-morning, we'll arrive at Honningsvag, the portal to the North Cape, where a globe monument marks the top of continental Europe. An optional excursion will take you to North Cape from Honningsvag by bus, passing herds of reindeer on the way, depending on the season. Sami heartlands: Near the entrance of the Kjollefjord village, look out for the striking, building-like rock formation Finnkirka, an ancient sacrificial site once used by the indigenous Sami. You can join an optional summer excursion to meet local Sami, learn about their reindeer-herding life, and listen to joik folk songs. Continuing north: We'll reach our northernmost port of call, Mehamn, in the evening. If you're visiting during the months of February and March, you might spot cod drying on outdoor wooden racks, called hjell, mainly destined for export. The ship then sets off for Berlevag.
