Magnificent fjords, majestic glaciers, and steep mountains adorned with lacy waterfalls all contribute to the stunning beauty of Norway’s coastline. And the best way to experience these sights is on a cruise ship, where you can sit back and enjoy the incredible panorama of constantly changing scenery.
In addition to unforgettable vistas, a Norwegian fjords cruise gives
you an opportunity to immerse yourself in the Norwegian culture by
visiting museums and exhibits depicting life in Norway. You’ll also
visit quaint towns and cities such as Bergen, known for its bustling
fish market and charming, pastel-colored wooden buildings. Although itineraries vary depending on the cruise line, many Norwegian fjords cruises leave from London or Copenhagen. Holland American Line, for example, offers a 10-day Norwegian Fjords and Scotland cruise roundtrip Copenhagen on the brand new ms Eurodam. The departure date is July 5, 2008, and ports of call include Oslo, several small Norwegian coastal towns, and three ports in the UK. Flam, one of the coastal towns, is known for villages and farms that perch on steep slopes above gleaming waterways and for its railroad, one of the most scenic railway lines in the world. Another option from Holland America is a 14-day Highlands, Fjords, and North Cape voyage that departs from Harwich (London) and ends in Copenhagen. In addition to scenic cruising along the Norwegian coast, guests experience crossing the Arctic Circle. Norwegian Cruise Line also features a 12-day Northern Europe Cape cruise in June round-trip London (Southampton) on the Norwegian Jade. One of the highlights of this itinerary is Geriranger fjord, known for its deep blue-green water, snow-covered mountain peaks, wild waterfalls, and lush vegetation. Yet another choice is Princess Cruises’ 12-day Norwegian fjords cruise with nine ports of call, including visits to Bergen and Reykjavik. Bergen, Norway’s second largest city, is surrounded by steep, forested mountains and provides visitors with interesting sights within a compact area. With its abundance of fish, flowers, fruit, vegetables, handicrafts, and souvenirs, the Bergen Fish Market is definitely worth a visit. Because the cruising season is relatively short, and the number of cruises is limited, you need to book your Norwegian fjords voyage as soon as possible. So give us a call, and we’ll find the perfect cruise for you.                 Trackback(0)
