Description |
18 Night Cruise sailing from Southampton to Oslo onboard Azamara Journey.
The voyage begins in Southampton, where walking tours of Old Town offer a trip through time. Then, it’s a day aboard your boutique hotel at sea before arriving in Olden—a world of towering glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and deep mountain valleys.
After another day of entertainment at sea we arrive in Svolvaer to catch a glimpse of enormous whales feeding in nearby waters. Cruise the breathtaking Troll Fjord, then explore historic Narvik, a charming village dating back to the Bronze Age.
Bask in the Midnight Sun in Honningsvag before you voyage past the North Cape at midnight (don’t forget sunscreen!) and spend a night at sea before two invigorating days cruising one-of-a-kind Norwegian fjords.
Get ready for adventures over Arctic tundra in Longyearbyen, cruise the stunning Lilliehook glacier complex, visit the remote village of Ny Alesund, then be awed by tranquil Tromso. After a night at sea, arrive in historic Trondheim, one of Norway’s largest cities.
Next comes Alesund, an architect’s dream, followed by a day in Bergen, a quaint old town with hidden gems around every corner. Spend a night at sea sampling fine wines before disembarking in Oslo.
Highlights of this cruise:
Southampton, England
It was the departure point for the Mayflower in 1620, and for the ill-fated Titanic in 1912. The charms of London are not far away, but pray tarry in the south to explore other wonders, including Bath, with its natural hot springs and stunning architecture and the mysterious megaliths of Stonehenge, or venture all the way west to Lands End, and the wild moorlands and pirate haunts of Cornwall.
Olden, Norway
Travel to a world of towering glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and deep mountain valleys when you arrive in Olden. The most adventurous will want to tackle the Briksdal, a million-year-old glacier that takes you across a wooden bridge for a breathtaking view. Not feeling up to the hiking challenge? Relax in a boat upon an enchanting lake with ancient mountains providing an unforgettable backdrop.
Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands, Norway
Experience everything nature has to offer when you travel to Svolvaer in the Lofoten Islands of Norway. Marvel at the glacial rock formations of the Lofoten archipelago set against beautiful beaches and sprawling green fields. Visit picturesque fishing hamlets, partake in incredible bird watching opportunities, and catch a glimpse of enormous whales feeding in nearby waters.
Narvik, Norway
There’s nothing quite like Narvik. Surrounded by steep fjords, towering mountains, and giant glaciers, this town above the Arctic Circle shines in the midnight sun. With a warm climate and rich naval history, history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts will be on cloud nine. Ride the Otofen Railway as it hugs sheer fjords, visit the impactful Narvik War Museum and see Norvik from a unique perspective with a soaring gondola adventure.
Honningsvag, Norway
Honningsvag, population 4,000, is the last village before the North Cape. No one lives permanently at the North Cape itself, but many come to visit this majestic cliff, rising over 1,000 feet above the sea, providing a lookout over a limitless panorama stretching silently to the North Pole. Ingeniously concealed inside the cliff is North Cape Hall, where you can ponder the vastness in comfort.
Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway
Imagine a town at the edge of the world. Backed by rugged mountains, overlooking striking blue glaciers, where polar bears often pay a visit. That’s Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on Earth. Get ready for adventures over Arctic tundra and incredible wildlife encounters, and get to know a community that thrives in the Land of the Midnight Sun.
Ny Ã…lesund, Norway
Remote and beautiful, Ny Ålesund is the perfect destination for explorers seeking the farthest reaches of human civilization. Once a mining town, Ny Ålesund is now a research community where approximately 30 people live year round. Don’t let its small size fool you, Ny Ålesund is home to absolutely stunning views you won’t find anywhere else.
Tromso, Norway
They say there’s no view like the one you get from the top of the world, and you can experience it for yourself in Tromso. Take a cable car up Storsteinen Mountain to take in snow-capped peaks and fjords. Afterward, venture into town and visit the Arctic Cathedral, an architectural marvel that resembles an iceberg rising high above the surrounding buildings.
Trondheim, Norway
Over 1,000 years of history awaits you in Trondheim. Lining the vibrant streets of this city are 17th-century working-class homes transformed into charming bistros, cafes, and local shops. Walk or bike to Nidaros Cathedral and climb the tower for a stunning view of the city and the Nidelva river. After, tour the beautiful Ringve Botanical Gardens that overlook the Trondheim fjord.
Alesund, Norway
Just a stone’s throw away from the spectacle of Geirangerfjord, Alesund is renowned for its architecture, where turrets, spires and other whimsical Art Nouveau touches give the town its distinctive character. Tackle the 418 steps to the look out point on Mount Aksla and be rewarded with sweeping views of the charming town, majestic fjords, and rugged Sunmore mountains.
Bergen, Norway
Head to the old town neighborhood of Bryggen, a UNESCO world heritage site, and wander along quaint street lined with colorful wooden buildings that house unique shops and restaurants. And don't forget about fjords! Take a ride up the funicular to Mt. Floyen, for views of these impressive natural wonders and the city below—or set out on an excursion to see them up-close.
Oslo, Norway
Discover the beautiful Tiger City when you arrive in Oslo, Norway’s gorgeous capital. Take in a performance by the National Ballet Company at the new Oslo Opera House, or stroll the Damstredet, a perfectly-preserved slice of Norwegian history where you’ll find wooden houses dating back to the 1700s. Historians will also want to visit Oslo’s many historic vessels, including the Fram and Kon Tiki. |
