Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Dover Return aboard Crystal Serenity.
Navigate the beautiful Hardangerfjord – the second longest in Norway – and the Viking history of Stavanger before an overnight in Copenhagen, the world’s oldest kingdom and home to Kronborg Castle, home to Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Highlights of this cruise:
Dover
For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England's royal fortitude. The port's legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. The solid Dover Castle has faced invasions by Roman, French and even English troops. London's legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.
Eidfjord/Hardangerfjord, Norway
During Norway's brief springtime, when the weather is fair and mountains are dotted with blooms, it might be difficult to imagine that three million years ago, all of Scandinavia was covered in ice. But as you cruise the Hardangerfjord, with its high, craggy walls and cascading waterfalls, it will become clear that nothing short of the slow yet powerful movement of glaciers could have sculpted such a breathtaking landscape. The statistics are striking: Hardangerfjord is Norway's second largest, with its main stretch being an impressive 3,000 feet deep. Its sights are awe-inspiring: Near the town of Eidfjord is Vøringsfossen, the tallest waterfall in Norway. And diversions are truly unique: You might explore the Hardangervidda Nature Center, which displays exhibits on the area's natural history and geology, or you might enjoy a visit to Kjeåsen mountain farm. Situated at the top of a winding road, it rewards the intrepid traveler with splendid views.
Stavanger, Norway
For centuries, Stavanger and its surrounding areas have played a leading part in Norway's maritime history - from the time when Viking kings battled in Hafrsfjord, through the period of the "White Sails," steamships and modern super tankers. As a result of its prime geographical location, Stavanger is considered the most important oil city in Norway.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Denmark, the world's oldest kingdom, awaits your discovery on this visit to its lively capital, Copenhagen. Immerse yourself in the vitality of this delightful city as you explore its expansive parks and plazas, as well as its treasure trove of historic galleries and buildings. Discover its exquisite combination of Scandinavian elegance and European joie de vivre. Visitors traveling outside the city enter an altogether different world; one where stately castles are found nestled in the gentle, emerald-green Danish countryside.
