Arrival in the morning, Departure in the afternoon
Stavanger, a former European Capital of Culture, with a rich tapestry of history and culture waiting to be explored on your Nordic cruise. The city is heaven for culture vultures, boasting an impressive mix of museums, galleries, and events celebrating Norway’s rich heritage. The gateway to Norway’s spectacularly scenic fjordland, Stavanger is also a town with its own rich heritage as it is regarded as the 'Cradle of the Vikings'. This small city celebrates its lively heritage dating back to 872 when Viking King Harald Hårfagre founded the Kingdom of Norway in nearby Hafrsfjord. But there’s more to the Vikings than pillaging and plundering. As you’ll find out, these bearded warriors were pioneering explorers, canny traders, skilled craftsmen, and artful storytellers with a dark sense of humour.
Arrival in the morning, Departure in the early evening
The peaceful village of Olden has the perfect Fjordland cruise setting - nestling at the southern end of one branch of the beautiful Nordfjord and at the entrance to the gorgeous Oldedalen Valley. Olden is blessed with a beautiful fjordic coastline, towering mountains, and the biggest glacier in mainland Europe, Jostedalsbreen. There’s easy access to both the Briksdal and Kjenndalen glaciers, plunging dramatically into the valleys below. Crystal-clear Lake Oldevatnet is set among steep mountains and roaring waterfalls. In a nutshell, it’s Norwegian nature at its finest.
Arrival in the early evening—CRUISING ONLY—Departure in the evening
You’ll find Innvikfjorden central to all the ‘typical’ highlights of any. This is where people come from around the world to see the famous sights of Geiranger, Trollstigen, and Vestkapp. Around the sleepy ports of Innvikfjorden, it’s hard to imagine a host of action-packed activities going on, but there is a fast, exciting side to holidaying here – should you wish to experience it! Your choice of adventures could include guided kayaking, hiking tours, driving up to panoramic viewpoints, and seeing the famous Briksdal and Kjenndal glaciers. No matter what you choose, the backdrop of Norway’s scenery is sure to amaze.
Arrival in the early morning, Departure in the afternoon
Nearby Geiranger might be more widely known, but the UNESCO World Heritage-listed village of Hellesylt seems determined not to be overshadowed by its more famous neighbour. Surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks and with a spectacular roaring waterfall cascading through the centre of the village and directly into the fjord, the former Viking settlement is every inch the quintessential Norwegian fjord town. The slogan of the Norwegian Tourist Board, "Powered by Nature", could have been created with Hellesylt in mind, and the village offers ample opportunity to revel in the great outdoors. Enjoy the majestic scenery at your own pace; it's easy to get up close and personal with the beauty and wildlife of the Sunnylvsfjorden simply by stepping ashore to explore. History buffs should make Sunnylven church their first port of call; this wooden parish church was constructed in its current incarnation in 1859, although the origins of the church date back to at least 1150.
Arrival in the early morning, Departure in the afternoon
Haugesund, homeland of the Viking kings and birthplace of Norway, is a place where you can inhale the Viking spirit. Surrounded by beautiful coastline, spectacular waterfalls, and majestic fjords, it's no wonder the kings called this extraordinary setting home. Populated for thousands of years, you can walk in the footsteps of the great kings at the Nordvegen History Centre and travel back over 3,500 years. St Olav's Church, dating from 1250 AD, is a monument to the former days of glory, and next to the church stands one of Norway's tallest pillars, the Virgin Mary's Sewing Needle. In nearby Rehaugene, you can explore the 'Pyramids of the North' - six intriguing Bronze Age, earthen burial mounds. And if you are feeling like a spot of retail therapy, you're in luck - not only is Haugesund filled with charming markets, it's also home to Norway's longest pedestrian street.
