The stunning Norwegian Fjords
Geirangerfjord, Norway
Cruise through the Fjords of Western Norway to discover dramatic cliffs that tower above deep waters whose channels stretch back many miles from the open sea and are permeated by Ice Age glaciers. Complete with powerful waterfalls, charming, sparsely populated villages and enchanting green countryside, it’s not surprising that this region is famed for its incredible landscapes. From green meadows and riverside towns to Viking relics and historic cities, cruises of the Norwegian Fjords have all the makings of a truly unique and delightful holiday.
Our Norwegian Fjords cruises provide the chance to discover the very best of Western Norway’s mesmerising scenery, with the opportunity to view stunning vistas that are only visible by boat. The impressive Briksdal Glacier is just one magnificent sight, and a particular highlight for some on our Norwegian Fjords cruises. Stretching over 1200 metres tall, it is just one of the 50 arms of the gigantic Jostedal Glacier. Pay a visit to the pretty settlement of Haugesund, with its quaint streets and important maritime history, and stroll past traditional wooden buildings in compact Bergen, the country’s second city. Make your way along Sognefjord, the world’s largest and deepest fjord, to the remote township of Flåm, home to one of Europe’s most scenic rail journeys, the Flåmsbana Mountain Railway. Many of our cruises of the Norwegian Fjords include a visit to Lysefjord in summer, a 42-kilometre long fjord that is home to the awe-inspiring Pulpit Rock, a flat-topped cliff that rises 602 metres from the sea and has become a favourite photo destination for visitors to the region. Elsewhere, the stunning unspoilt landscapes of Geirangerfjord, a Unesco World Heritage Site, delights with its snow-topped peaks, imposing waterfalls, lush greenery and now forgotten traditional farmsteads. Discover these unforgettable locations and landscapes, and much more, on our enthralling Norwegian Fjords cruises.
