The Norwegian Fjords
Copenhagen to London
This Norwegian odyssey begins with an overnight stay in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, one of the most beautiful cities in Scandinavia and recently voted one of the friendliest cities in the world. Cross the Kattegat Sea to the historic Old Town of Grenaa and another Nordic capital, magnificent Oslo, a place of Viking heritage, extraordinary modern art and medieval architecture.
In Flam, enjoy a ride on the scenic railway and cruise the Sognefjord, the largest and best- known fjord in the country. Stroll through one of Norway’s biggest ports, Bergen, then explore the spectacular landscape surrounding the village of Geiranger and the port of Alesund.
With shore excursions in the cities of Stavanger and Kristiansand offering more opportunities for discovery, you will also spend a day in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, to experience all its mains sights, before your cruise comes to an end in Tilbury, the port of London.
