What does this mean?
Overview
From powerful geysers and thundering waterfalls, to soaring puffins and mesmerising Arctic foxes, you are never too far from an unforgettable moment when you experience a spellbinding cruise to Norway.
Mountain railways…dramatic glaciers…snow-capped peaks… Norway is an enchanting country with less than five million people and over 15,000 miles of coastlines and deep blue fjords. Ever wanted to see the best of what Norway has to offer but unsure of where to start? Then this cruising holiday is perfect for you!
One of the most memorable things about a cruise to the fjords is, believe it or not, cruising the fjords! The journey between ports is always picturesque with nearly one third of the country located above the tree line, surrounded by towering peaks and magnificent glaciers, found as far south as central southern Norway.
In some ports of call you'll follow captivating walking trails and in some you will spend time with local guides, furthering our knowledge of history and culture during our exploration ashore. There will be free time in each port for you to explore at leisure, and your Ramble Worldwide Cruise & Walk leader is always able to offer interesting suggestions.
The village of Ulvik, located in a sheltered bay of the impressive Hardangerfjord, is surrounded by wild meadows and fruit trees, giving Ulvik the nickname of ‘the orchard of Norway’.
Your exploration will continue as your ship cruises along the dramatic Naeroyfjord and Gudvangen to the small alpine village of Olden. Alesund is a colourful city surrounded by deep blue water and craggy snow-capped mountains over 2000m high, and you will explore it by foot!
Days at sea are spent sailing through captivating fjords and past remote colourful towns, perfectly complemented with active days exploring ashore. Without a doubt, a cruise is the finest way to experience the other-worldly setting of Norway’s coast and fjords.
Norway has a reputation for being expensive, but on a cruising holiday you benefit from excellent value and experience more places than you would on a land based holiday. At the end of each day’s activities, you return to the excellent food and comfort of the Fred Olsen ship and sail on to another scenic destination.
