Overview

Holiday Highlights

  • Explore Bergen by foot, one of the most visited places in Norway.

  • Visit the magical village of Andalsnes and its dramatic scenery.

  • Tour Lerwick, Shetland Islands, with a guide, discovering St Ninian's Isle and its treasures.

From powerful geysers and thundering waterfalls, to soaring puffins and mesmerising Arctic foxes, you are never too far from an unforgettable moment when you experience a spellbinding cruise to Norway.

Mountain railways…dramatic glaciers…snow-capped peaks… Norway is an enchanting country with less than five million people and over 15,000 miles of coastlines and deep blue fjords. Ever wanted to see the best of what Norway has to offer but unsure of where to start? Then this cruising holiday is perfect for you!  

One of the most memorable things about a cruise to the fjords is, believe it or not, cruising the fjords! The journey between ports is always picturesque with nearly one third of the country located above the tree line, surrounded by towering peaks and magnificent glaciers, found as far south as central southern Norway. 

In some ports of call you'll follow captivating walking trails and in some you will spend time with local guides, furthering your knowledge of history and culture during our exploration ashore. There will be free time in each port for you to explore at leisure.

Start your exploration of magical Norway by sailing to the undiscovered village of Andalsnes. Discover its dramatic scenery on foot. 

Your discovery will continue in Olden, located towards the eastern end of Nordfjord.

Explore Bergen by foot. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway but is described more as a large town with character and a friendly atmosphere. Known as the heart and the gateway of the fjords, Bergen is one of the most visited places in Norway. 

Finish your holiday in Lerwick in the Shetland Islands with a local guide, discovering St Ninian's Isle and its treasures.

Days at sea are spent sailing through captivating fjords and past remote colourful towns, perfectly complemented with active days exploring ashore. Without a doubt, a cruise is the finest way to experience the other-worldly setting of Norway’s coast and fjords. 

Norway has a reputation for being expensive, but on a cruising holiday you benefit from excellent value and experience more places than you would on a land based holiday. At the end of each day’s activities, we return to the excellent food and comfort of the Fred Olsen ship and sail on to another scenic destination.
