This 8-night Norwegian Fjords cruise explores western Norway’s most iconic landscapes, combining cultural coastal towns with world-famous fjord scenery. The itinerary includes Stavanger, Bergen, Nordfjordeid and Geiranger.

In Stavanger, there are opportunities to explore historic streets, enjoy harbour-side cafés and experience the region’s maritime heritage. Bergen offers colourful waterfronts, panoramic viewpoints and a lively food and café scene. Further north, Nordfjordeid provides access to peaceful fjord landscapes and surrounding countryside, while Geiranger delivers some of Norway’s most dramatic natural scenery, with steep cliffs and cascading waterfalls.

Ideal for travellers seeking classic fjord experiences with time to explore ashore, this cruise blends culture, scenery and relaxed discovery along Norway’s western coast.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Stavanger
Stavanger blends old-town charm with dramatic natural surroundings, where white wooden houses line quiet streets just moments from the sea. There’s time to wander the historic centre, enjoy local flavours in waterside cafés, or explore the city’s strong maritime heritage. Beyond the town, the landscape opens out into fjords, lakes and open countryside, offering a striking contrast to the compact, walkable streets. Stavanger feels lively yet relaxed, modern yet rooted in tradition. It’s a place where culture and nature sit comfortably side by side.

Bergen
Wrapped between mountains and sea, Bergen is a city of colour, culture and quiet confidence. Wander the wooden lanes of Bryggen, a UNESCO-listed wharf where Hanseatic merchants once traded, or browse the lively fish market for fresh seafood and local flavours. Ride the Fløibanen funicular for sweeping views over the harbour and surrounding islands, or explore galleries, cafés and boutiques tucked into historic streets. Elegant yet relaxed, Bergen balances maritime heritage with modern Scandinavian life.

Geiranger
Few places in Norway are as instantly recognisable as Geiranger. As your ship glides into the fjord, waterfalls spill down vertical cliffs - including the legendary Seven Sisters - while abandoned mountain farms cling impossibly to the rock. Step ashore to explore viewpoints high above the water, such as Flydalsjuvet or Dalsnibba, where the fjord unfurls beneath you in sweeping curves. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Geiranger is not just seen - it’s felt.

Tilbury

Just 22 nautical miles down river from the Tower Bridge in London, Tilbury is a popular turnaround port for cruises visiting Baltic and Northern European destinations.

A day to relax and enjoy life on board.

Stavanger

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Stavanger flourished in the 19th century as a fishing port. While other towns in Norway have suffered with the decline of this industry, Stavanger has kept its economy booming by diversifying, first into shipbuilding and now into oil. These two contrasting industries have created a city of two halves – a modern area of high-rise buildings and a historic centre with cobbled streets and old wooden houses. The city centre was the birthplace of Alexander Kielland, one of the great 19th-century Norwegian novelists. Stavanger Cathedral, dating from 1125, is an impressive building and the only medieval cathedral in Norway that has not been substantially altered since it was first built. From Stavanger you can explore the attractive blue waters of Lysefjord, surrounded by cliffs and striking rock formations, and also visit Hafrsfjord where the Viking King Harald won an important battle that started the Unification of Norway. Those preferring to explore on their own may wish to visit the interesting Petroleum Museum.

Bergen

Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting. There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic wharf, known as Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade. As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Our comprehensive selection of excursions allows you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as stunning views of the city from the summit of Mt Fløyen. Alternatively, those who have visited the city previously may like to experience one of the tours that travel further afield. Just 300 yards from the main piers, you will find the Fortress Museum (Fesningsmuseum), which has an interesting collection of objects related to World War II.

Nordfjordeid

Geiranger

The Geirangerfjord, which made the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, is Norway's most spectacular and perhaps best-known fjord. The 16-km-long (10-mile-long), 960-foot-deep Geirangerfjord's most stunning attractions are its roaring waterfalls—the Seven Sisters, the Bridal Veil, and the Suitor. Perched on mountain ledges along the fjord, deserted farms at Skageflå and Knivsflå are being restored and maintained by local enthusiasts.The village of Geiranger, at the end of the fjord, is home to fewer than 300 year-round residents, but in spring and summer its population swells to 5,000 due to visitors traveling from Hellesylt to the east. In winter, snow on the mountain roads often makes the village isolated.

A day to relax and enjoy life on board.

Tilbury

Just 22 nautical miles down river from the Tower Bridge in London, Tilbury is a popular turnaround port for cruises visiting Baltic and Northern European destinations.

Ambience

Ambience

Here she is — our flagship of the fleet and first lady of the sea — Ambience. Inspired by the French word for “surrounding,” our aim is to create the right atmosphere on board, so every guest feels at home. With space for around 1,400 guests, Ambience balances a sense of freedom with the intimacy and camaraderie many of us value.

Entertainment will spoil you for choice. Dress up for The Palladium or settle in at the Observatory. Enjoy a drink at Raffles Bar, The Botanical Lounge, SW19 or The Purple Turtle Pub. Dining includes the Buckingham Restaurant and Borough Market, with Alfresco Grill for fresh-air favourites. For something special, try Saffron*, Sea & Grass* or our Chef’s Table*.

Her dining options will inspire you with two main restaurants, speciality dining options*, and a more casual bistro-style café. Sit back, relax and enjoy a drink in one of her four bars, lounges and pub. Or take in a show in the tiered main theatre, or discover your hidden talents in the card room, library, and craft studio.

Other facilities include the wellness centre, gym, two swimming pools and a range of retail shops, perfect for days at sea.
