Norway in bloom
Setting sail from Hamburg, you’ll find southern Norway in vibrant spring bloom with lush emerald-green fjords and cascading waterfalls. Discover an enchanting hamlet as you cruise deep into the country’s longest fjord, and in Haugesund, delve into Viking heritage. In Andalsnes, you’ll be immersed in incredible panoramas while riding the iconic cable car. Then, we set course north across the Arctic Circle.
Arctic adventures
Scout for Sea Eagles as you navigate the dramatic coastline of the Lofoten Islands and feel inspired by legendary polar explorers in Tromso – the gateway to the Arctic. You’ll stand in awe on the edge of continental Europe, before continuing to the pristine wilderness of Svalbard. Striking fjords, sparkling glaciers and Arctic wildlife await as we spend three days exploring expedition-style.
