Itinerary

Oslo
Welcome to Norway! First stop: Oslo, Norway's thriving capital. After transferring to your city... more+ centre hotel from the airport, you can enjoy the rest of the day or evening as you wish.

With its forest-covered hills, lakes and countless world-class restaurants and museums, Norway's fjord-side capital has everything to delight visitors.

Oslo offers a myriad of neighbourhoods and atmospheres. Grünnerløkka offers trendy bars and restaurants, while Aker Brygge offers magnificent views over the Oslofjord. In the city centre, take photos of Rådhuset, the architecturally distinctive City Hall, the Royal Palace and Oslo Cathedral.

*Please note that if you make your booking less than 90 days before your chosen departure date, your journey will start in Oslo on day 2.

Oslo
After breakfast at your hotel, you can explore the Norwegian capital at your own pace and discover... more+ its main attractions. Art lovers will love the Vigeland Sculpture Park, located in the centre of the splendid Frogner Park. Here you will see over 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron by the prolific Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland.

If you have time to spare, take the metro to Central station. In just 20 minutes, you'll reach the edge of a tranquil alpine forest overlooking the city.

In the afternoon, you'll be transferred from your hotel to the ship, where you'll be staying for the coming week. Once you've been welcomed on board and settled into your cabin or suite, you'll get to know your guide team. You'll get to know each member of the team, who will give you talks and organise on-board activities throughout your trip.

You'll also meet your fellow passengers in the ship's two-storey Panorama Lounge, and together we'll write a new chapter in our history as we sail from Oslo for the first time. Watch the twinkling lights of the capital fade in the distance as we leave port and take in the scenery and sights along the Oslofjord.

Oslo Kristiansund
Situated at the southern tip of the country and home to 112,000 people, Kristiansand is Norway's... more+ fifth largest city. We plan to arrive mid-morning and stay until early evening, giving you plenty of time to explore the town.

Why not immerse yourself in the region's past on a guided tour dedicated to the history of the Second World War? On this tour, you'll notice that the town is built on a very uniform grid plan, with several straight roads running from the harbour right through the town. Along these roads, you'll see architecture from different periods, bearing witness to the extensive rebuilding the city underwent after the great fires of the 18th and 19th centuries, and even after an attack during the Second World War.

Kristiansand's mission is to become Europe's most sustainable port. Discover this goal on an optional excursion that includes a visit to the island of Odderøya. Here you'll discover magnificent views of the ocean and the city, and visit 18th-century military barracks that have been converted into artists' studios.

Kristiansand's military past in the 20th century is the subject of another optional excursion to the Vara Battery. It houses the second largest cannon ever built.

Another optional excursion takes you to Lindesnes Lighthouse, Norway's most southerly point. As you discover this landmark, which has been guiding sailors through the dark nights since the early 20th century, you'll learn about the site's long history, dating back to 1656.

Our trip will end on a high note with a fabulous farewell dinner. Take the opportunity to exchange photos and experiences with your fellow travellers one last time.

Kristiansund Haugesung Hardangerfjord
After passing the southern tip of Norway, we start heading north along the west coast. Just past... more+ Stavanger, we reach Haugesund, the ‘Home of the Viking Kings’.

This nickname is inspired by sites such as St Olav's Church, built in 1250 by King Håkon Hå. You'll also discover Haraldshaugen, a national monument reputed to be the burial place of the first king. And when you visit the Nordvegen history centre, you will travel back in time to the Viking Age in the company of a fictional Harald I??, who will introduce you to the various exhibitions on offer to the public.

After a brief passage through Haugesund, you will rejoin the ship to enjoy a brief panoramic crossing of Hardangerfjord, one of Norway's most beautiful waterways. This 179-kilometre fjord is the second longest in Norway and the fifth longest in the world.

Let yourself be transported by the mountains that surround you, while the white peaks that dominate the fjord are reflected in the shimmering water at their foot.

Stopover time in Haugesund: 3h00

Hardangerfjord Alesund
After a hearty breakfast on board, we'll dock mid-morning in a town that stretches across a string... more+ of islands. With just a few hours to spare, you'll have plenty of time to discover all that Ålesund has to offer.

As you approach the shore, the first thing you'll notice is the distinctive style of its architecture. Every detail of the buildings, from the bright colours to the rounded spires, is inspired by the Art Nouveau style popular in the early 1900s. Almost the entire city was renovated in this style when it was rebuilt after a major fire in 1904.

Leaving the quays behind, you'll enter a city worthy of fairytales, venturing down narrow streets lined with inimitable houses. If you still have enough space left on your camera's memory card, you can take some impressive shots of the archipelago from the viewpoint of Mount Aksla. The 418 steps leading up to it may seem intimidating, but the view from the top is well worth the effort.

You can also visit Atlantic Sea Park, Norway's first Marine Science Centre. It is one of the largest saltwater aquariums in Northern Europe. It is home to seals, otters and crabs, as well as many other marine species. You can even see Humboldt penguins, a species not found north of the equator.

Alesund Bronnoysund
Surrounded by islands and water, Brønnøysund lies on a narrow peninsula jutting out from the... more+ mainland. Around 5,000 people live in this small town, most of them in colourful houses set against a backdrop of gentle slopes and spectacular mountain peaks.

Soak up the lively atmosphere of the harbour and stroll along Havnegata. Stop off at one of the pubs for a bite to eat, or treat yourself to a real meal in a local restaurant. Stroll around the visitors' marina or explore a neo-Gothic stone church dating from 1870.

Don't miss the Vega archipelago, comprising some 6,500 islands, islets and reefs. The island of Gardsøy is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Centre where the secrets of harvesting the precious eiderdown are explained, thanks to the installation of small huts where the local ducks make their nests.

On an island south of Brønnøysund, you'll find Torghatten mountain, recognisable by the natural tunnel that runs through its centre. According to local legend, the hole is the result of an arrow shot by a troll at a young woman who rejected his advances. As the king of the trolls threw down his hat to protect her, the sun rose, turning the hat into stone with a hole in the middle caused by the arrow.

By taking part in an optional excursion, you can reach the hole in the mountain in an hour on foot. Look through the tunnel and enjoy the view of the surrounding islands.

We'll continue sailing north in the afternoon, leaving the Helgeland coast behind us, and pass the Arctic Circle around midnight.

Bronnoysund Svolvaer Stokmarknes
Today we're exploring Lofoten, a stunning group of islands jutting out of the Norwegian Sea. As... more+ soon as you see the towering peaks rising up around you and the fishing villages clinging to their flanks, you'll understand why this string of islands is so often regarded as one of Norway's most dazzling sights.

We dock in the town of Svolvær mid-morning. Located on the island of Austvågøya, in the heart of the Lofoten Islands, Svolvær is the largest town in the archipelago. It has many restaurants, shops, galleries and cafés. You can also admire the panorama offered by the Svolvær goat, a nearby mountain that owes its name to its resemblance to a horned goat.

A number of optional excursions are available from Svolvær, including a winter fishing trip, a kayak trip along the coast or a bus tour exploring the history of Lofoten.

Leaving the region without a stopover in Stokmarknes is unthinkable. This historic town is part of the Vesterålen Islands, an archipelago just north-east of Lofoten. And of all the places we visit, this one is particularly dear to our hearts. It's where the Norwegian Coastal Express was founded in 1893.
The Coastal Express quickly became a vital link for isolated coastal communities and its legacy has been appropriately immortalised in the place where it all began. On the waterfront, you'll discover a ship from 1956, housed in a glass case like a ship in a bottle.

This is the Hurtigrutemuseet, the museum that traces its history as Norway's first expedition cruise line from its beginnings to the present day. A guided tour will allow you to explore this old ship and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a bygone era.

Stokmarknes Tromso
This morning, you will reach the capital of the Arctic, some 350 kilometres north of the Arctic... more+ Circle. You will bid farewell to the ship and be transferred to your hotel in the centre of Tromsø, where you will spend the last night of your journey.

You can enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure and explore this Arctic city rich in exploration history. On the waterfront you'll find Polaria, the world's most northerly aquarium, while across the fjord from the harbour stands the iconic Arctic Cathedral with its magnificent mosaic of stained glass windows.

And there are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from in the town centre, including Mack's Brewery and Ølhallen pub, a popular local café. And don't forget the trendy cafés where baristas compete to create innovative works of coffee art accompanied by delicious cinnamon rolls.

Length of stopover in Tromsø: 10h00

*Please note that if you make your booking less than 90 days before your chosen departure date, your journey will end in Tromsø on the 8th day.
