Itinerary

Bergen Bergen Floro
Your journey begins in Bergen, Norway's second-largest city and gateway to the fjords. Founded in... more+ 1070, Bergen's architecture is influenced by the Hanseatic League, a prosperous 14th-century German trading organization.
If you have time before your ship departs, visit the UNESCO-listed wharves of the colorful Bryggen district, now a cobblestone artisan quarter. Just across the street is the famous fish market, offering delicious seafood. You can also take the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen for a breathtaking view of the city.
To make the most of your stay in Norway, don't forget that we can help you organize excursions before or after your trip, thanks to the Norway in a Nutshell program.
Your journey begins
Before boarding, you can relax in the comfort of our terminal passenger lounge. Once on board, enjoy the first of many delicious meals prepared from fresh coastal produce, as we leave Bergen and sail the old Viking route along the Hjeltefjord.
You'll also meet your ship's Coastal Experts, who will be your guides throughout our cruise of the Norwegian coastline, organizing lectures, onboard activities and optional hikes.

A city of Art Nouveau, Ålesund is famous for its superb Art Nouveau architecture and its Atlanterhavsparken, one of Northern Europe's largest seawater aquariums. If you travel with us in spring or winter, you'll spend much of the day exploring this picturesque town. In the fjords in summer, we'll head for the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord*, passing through some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer. Once in the fjord, you may be lucky enough to see the famous Seven Sisters waterfalls tumbling down the cliffs.
*Geirangerfjord is replaced by Hjørundfjord for these sailings:
-2025: June 1, June 12, June 23, July 4, July 15, July 26, August 6, August 17, August 28.
In spring, from April to May*, and in autumn, from September to October, your boat will sail to Hjørundfjord, hidden in the Sunnmøre Alps. A stopover is also planned in the picturesque village of Urke to admire the thousand-year-old farms, the fjord and the lush mountainsides.
*Only on voyages departing from 2025-26.
The last port of the day is Molde. In summer, there may be just enough light to enjoy the incredible view of the 222 mountain peaks across the fjord known as the Molde Panorama.
From mid-June to the end of August, the city's streets and gardens are adorned with fragrant roses of every colour, living up to its nickname of ‘City of Roses’.

Nidaros Cathedral, nicknamed “Our Lady of Norway” for its Gothic style, is considered the most sacred building in Norway. Close to the cathedral is the Archbishop's Palace, where the Norwegian Crown Jewels are displayed.
Nearby, the city's old bridge, the Gamle Bybro, spans the River Nidelva and marks the entrance to the old Hanseatic quarter of Bakklandet.

At 10 a.m., we call at Ørnes, close to Norway's second-largest glacier, Svartisen. The jetty here is famous for its Love Bank, where lovers declare their love by attaching a padlock.

Welcome to Lofoten
This afternoon, the ship enters the Lofoten archipelago. The 1,000-metre-high Lofoten Wall is an impressive sight on the horizon, as if it were there to greet us.
The port of Stamsund is home to one of the islands' largest fishing fleets. Activity here is particularly intense from January to April, when Arctic cod, known locally as skrei, swim north from the Barents Sea to the Vestfjord to spawn.
In the evening, the sight of rows of traditional fishing huts on stilts, called rorbus, will mark your arrival in the pretty port of Svolvær, the main town on the Lofoten Islands.

Activities

Founded in 997, this ancient Viking capital is rich in culture and history, but has also established itself as a Norwegian innovation leader and knowledge center.

The bus tour of Trondheim will take us past the ancient capital's magnificent red bridge and... more+ the old wooden buildings of the Bakklandet district, which have stood along the Nidelva River since the 18th century.

We'll then enjoy a magnificent panorama of the bustling city from the Utsikten viewpoint, which overlooks the nearby Kristiansten fortress and offers a glimpse of the island of Munkholmen in the fjord.

Our next stop is Nidaros Cathedral, Norway's national shrine. Built over the tomb of St. Olaf in 1070, it boasts dazzling architecture and Gothic-style ornamentation masterfully carved into the stone. After a captivating guided tour of the cathedral, you'll receive a book on the Norwegian Our Lady as a souvenir gift.

Join us for a guided tour of Trondheim and get ready to explore this historic city in depth. We'll start at the harbor, which developed during the second half of the 19th century, before walking to Stiftsgården, Trondheim's royal residence. We continue on to... more+ the market square to take in the huge statue of the city's founder, the Viking King Olav Tryggvason.
Then it's on to Nidaros Cathedral, Norway's national shrine and the world's most northerly cathedral, where you can tour the interior. Get your camera ready as we cross the town's ancient bridge, Gamle Bybro, recognizable by its pointed red arches. Locals call this bridge “the gateway to happiness”, a nickname popularized in the 20th century in a popular waltz by Norwegian singer and songwriter Kristian Hoddø. Admire the view of the colorful quays along the Nidelva River before returning to the quay.
