Day 3: Norway in a Nutshell® - Part One: to Flåm

Get an early start today and head to Oslo Central Station, where you’ll board the train for a mountainous ride towards Bergen. This ride, voted one of the 20 best railways in the world, also takes you through charming villages like Gol and Geilo. In Myrdal, you’ll switch trains to the Flåm Railway for an incredible 20 km ride with a 900-metre descent to the beautiful village of Flåm. Here, you’ll have free admission to the Flåm Railway Documentation Centre, located right beside Flåm Station, where you can learn about the construction of the world’s steepest railway line.

Day 4: Norway in a Nutshell® - Part Two: to Bergen

From Flåm, you’ll be transported by boat onto the Aurlandsfjord and into the World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in Europe. This is perhaps the most beautiful and wildest arm of the Sognefjord, with its tall mountains, mighty waterfalls and small farms clinging to the steep mountainsides. The boat will then take you to Gudvangen, and from there you’ll be transported by bus up Stalheimskleiva, Northern Europe’s steepest stretch of road, which winds through 13 hairpin bends on its way up to Stalheim Hotel. After pausing for a bit to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view at the hotel, you will continue to Voss, where you’ll board the train for the last stretch to Bergen. Spend the night in Bergen.

Highlights:

 

Day 5: Bergen at your Leisure

Despite being an international city, Bergen has kept the atmosphere and charm of a small town. Here you’ll find Bryggen--listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, exceptional old houses, the vibrant fish and flower market, cable cars offering stunning views, great museums and more. You may also wish to do the one-hour “mini-train” express sightseeing tour through the city center, with highlights such as the Maria Church, King Håkon’s Hall and the Rosenkrantz Tower along with panoramic views of the city from the Fjellveien Road. Spend the night in central Bergen. 

Highlights:

 

Day 6: Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage

Enjoy the early part of the day at your leisure in Bergen. In the evening you’ll enter the next stage of your journey as you embark on the Norwegian Coastal Voyage with Hurtigruten. Norway’s dramatic 2,000-kilometre west coast is one of Europe’s great attractions, and for more than 100 years this popular journey has been offering travelers a unique combination of history, culture and incredible vistas. Onboard you’ll stay in a comfortable outside cabin with private facilities. 

Highlights:

  • Norwegian Coastal Voyage 

 

Day 7: Ålesund & Geiranger Fjord

Depending on the season, today‘s journey will either take you to the Art Nouveau town of Ålesund or the UNESCO World Heritage site of Geirangerfjord. In the wintertime, the ship makes a 3-hour stop in Ålesund, where you can explore this quaint town and its marvellous architecture at your leisure. In the summertime, the cruise ship sails up the Geirangerfjord, past tumbling waterfalls like the Seven Sisters and Bridal Veil, as it navigates from one fjord to another. *

* The Geirangerfjord cruise operates from 15 April – 14 September.

Highlights:

 

Day 8: Historic Town of Trondheim

Early in the morning, the ship pulls in to the historic city of Trondheim. Here you will have about 3.5 hours to explore the city on your own or take an optional sightseeing tour. Trondheim is the original capital of Norway, and until the 16th century, Trondheim was known as Nidaros. Here you will find Nidaros Cathedral, which is one of Scandinavia’s largest buildings from the Middle Ages, along with tiny, picturesque old wooden houses. From Trondheim, the ship sails on to Rorvik, where the southbound and northbound coastal ships meet. Spend another night on board the ship. 

Highlights: 

 

Day 9: Over the Arctic Circle

Today you’ll cross the Arctic Circle as the ship heads toward the beautiful Lofoten Islands. You’ll enjoy spectacular sights, including islands and skerries with majestic rock formations, whose origins are the stuff of legend. Optional shore excursions are available today. Spend another night on board the ship. 

Highlights:

  • Lofoten Islands

 

Day 10: Tromsø, “Paris of the North”

In the morning you’ll pass the medieval Trondenes Church before calling at Harstad. Afterwards, the ship sails across the Vagsfjord and to a magnificent archipelago in the north. Later today, the ship stops in Tromsø, a lively town and by far the largest in northern Norway, with over 50,000 inhabitants. Nicknamed "The Paris of the North”, this city was a major port of call for Arctic expedition and hunting ships in the 19th century--a part of history that is still evident here. Spend another night on board the ship.

Highlights:

Optional:

  • Shore excursions

 

Day 11: The Beauty of North Cape

Finnmark's landscape and wildlife is not to be missed. Rookeries of puffins and gannets along the cliffs and pods of Orca hunting for herring make for a unique experience. The ship stops at Honningsvåg today, and we recommend that you board a bus for a short optional excursion to the famous North Cape. After this shore stop, the ship navigates east toward the pretty fishing villages of Kjollefjord, Mehamn, and Berlevag. Spend another night on board the ship.

Highlights:

 

Day 12: Kirkenes - Land of the Midnight Sun

Enjoy one last breakfast at sea before the ship docks in Kirkenes around 10:00 in the morning. This Arctic town lies on the borders with Russia and Finland and is home to some 3,300 inhabitants, including the Sámi, the native people of Lapland. For such a small town, Kirkenes offers an impressive range of things to see and do, and the rest of the day is free for you to try out an optional excursion or just relax in the town. Spend the night in Kirkenes.

Highlights:

 

Day 13: Departure from Kirkenes

After an incredible time in Norway it's time to head home today. From Kirkenes Airport you will fly to Oslo-Gardermoen Airport, where you will connect to your flight back home.
