Springtime Fjords
Offer Highlights
Spring brings Norway’s west coast vividly to life on this immersive fjord sailing, as waterfalls surge with meltwater and dramatic landscapes emerge in crisp, clear light. Towering cliffs, mirror-smooth waters and scattered coastal settlements create a sense of calm and scale that encourages a slower, more thoughtful way of travelling through one of Europe’s most spectacular regions.
Haugesund provides an inviting first taste of Norway, blending Viking heritage with scenic coastal walks and a relaxed harbour setting. In Flåm, the scenery becomes truly breathtaking, with steep mountain walls rising directly from the fjord and the renowned Flåm Railway offering one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys through deep valleys, cascading waterfalls and high mountain terrain. Cruising into the quieter Austefjorden reveals a more intimate side of Norway’s fjord country, before Stavanger adds warmth and character with its historic wooden streets, lively café culture and access to the dramatic Boknafjord landscape.
Combining iconic fjord highlights with lesser-visited waterways, this journey offers a beautifully balanced exploration of Norway’s natural beauty, rewarding guests with moments of awe, tranquillity and an enduring connection to the landscapes around them.
CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Haugesund
Haugesund is where Norway’s Viking story meets a relaxed modern coastline. Known as the historic heart of the Viking kings, the area is rich with burial mounds, maritime heritage and open coastal landscapes. Visit the Viking Farm at Avaldsnes, stroll the pleasant harbourfront, or enjoy local cafés and shops at an easy pace. With sea air, history and wide horizons, Haugesund offers a gentler, more human-scale glimpse of Norway.
Flåm
Flåm is surrounded by some of Norway’s most dramatic fjord scenery, where steep mountains rise sharply from calm, dark water. From here, you could take the famous Flåm Railway, climbing through narrow valleys, waterfalls and high mountain farms on one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys. Others may prefer to explore on foot, following quiet paths along the fjord or simply soaking up the scale of the landscape from the village. However you choose to spend your time, Flåm invites awe without hurry.
Austefjorden
Austefjorden feels like Norway at its most intimate - a narrow, winding fjord where mountains rise steeply from the water and waterfalls trace fine lines down dark rock faces. As you glide deeper into the fjord, the world seems to fall quiet, inviting you to step out on deck and simply take it in. There’s time to watch light shift across the cliffs, spot small farms clinging to the hillsides, and feel the scale of the landscape closing gently around you. This is a place best experienced slowly, where the journey itself becomes the highlight. Austefjorden offers a rare sense of stillness and immersion.
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.
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.
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.
