EXPLORE THE FJORDS Norway

If you’re planning a trip to Norway, visiting the fjords should be top of your list. Norway has 29,000km of coastline when you include its fjords (it’s estimated that there are anything between 1,200 to 1,700 fjords dotted along Norway’s coast) – but if you don’t include the fjords, there’s only around 2,500km of coastline.

What better way to explore them than on a Norwegian fjords cruise, expertly designed to help you experience the spectacular scenery of this other-worldly setting

Cruising with Fred. Olsen into the heart of the fjordland is the best way to appreciate the stunning scenery of this breathtaking part of the world. Fred. Olsen handcraft their Norwegian fjords cruises to showcase the very best of these enchanting destinations and natural wonders, taking advantage of their extensive Norwegian heritage and smaller ships ready-made for navigating size-restricted waterways, to bring awe-inspiring destinations closer to you.

What’s more, Fred. Olsen believe the journey is as important as the ports themselves and with their Scenic Discoveries, you’ll be able to experience the beauty of the Fjords from the open decks of your ship.

So, whether you’re embarking on your first exciting foray into the fjords, or returning – like many others – for another exploration of this astonishing region, you’ll find that the captivating beauty of Fred. Olsen’s homeland is as special as it gets.

The Norwegian Fjords transform through the seasons. In spring the air is beautifully clear; the green foliage is bright and the waterfalls are at their most mighty – perfect for nature lovers. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Norway’s landscapes when they are at their greenest, and the longer days mean you’ve ample time for Scenic Discoveries and time ashore.

Arctic cruises offer an eclectic mix of experiences; any passion for scenery, natural beauty and wildlife is easily satiated in breath-taking landscapes witnessed on an Arctic voyage. The opportunity to catch a glimpse of whales, manatees, seals or a multitude of bird life adds to the Arctic’s distinct personality.

Of course, all of this can be eclipsed by experiencing two extraordinary natural phenomena unique to the region – continuous days beneath the enigmatic midnight sun, or a dazzling encounter with the elusive Northern Lights.

And with Fred. Olsen’s Norwegian heritage and knowledge of these waters, you can rest assured that you’ll journey the most scenic routes.
