Local Heritages

City Life

Why not complement your voyage by exploring Norway’s unique heritage.

Norway’s rich history and cultural heritage can be seen in its ancient stave churches, unique museums, traditional cuisine and thriving folklore and artistic traditions.

Many of the country’s World Heritage sites are in easy reach of our ports of call.

Norway is also renowned for its maritime heritage, from fishing and shipping to oil and gas. You can see evidence of this all along our route, the ‘clipfish capital’ of Kristiansund founded on bacalao, to the futuristic Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger. Other attractions you can discover along the way include a Viking chieftain’s longhouse with its own banqueting hall, a 17th century Manor House and Renaissance garden in a remote coastal village.

Once ashore, you’ll discover a plethora of museums, from Bergen’s Hanseatic Museum, Lofoten’s Stockfish Museum and Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, and Oslo’s hypermodern Munch Museum.
