Cruise Itinerary
The cruise itinerary of your journey begins in Bergen, a harbor town established by the Viking King Olav more than nine hundred years ago. It quickly became the center of Norway's vibrant commercial trade, especially in dried cod, with northern Europe and the British Isles.
By the late Middle Ages, the Hanseatic League had set up a trading post on the Bryggen waterfront. Some of those buildings with seaward-facing gables you'll see along the wharf date back to the fourteenth century!
From Bergen,your cruise itinerary has you sail north to Kirkenes, an arctic outpost near the Russian border, stopping at 34 uniquely picturesque ports along the way. The ship then turns around, and sails south back to Bergen. She'll call on the same ports, but those visited during the day on the northbound voyage will now be visited during the night on the southbound voyage, and vice versa. For passengers who seek immersion in the landscape and culture of Norway, this roundtrip voyage is a compelling choice.
Passengers with less time may choose to experience the cruise itinerary of a one-way voyage: the 7-day northbound journey embarking in Bergen and ending in Kirkenes, or the 6 day southbound return from Kirkenes to Bergen.
Regardless of your trip's length, you are guaranteed days filled with majestic scenery-spectacular fjords, snow-capped mountains, and an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. Make sure to pack your camera and binoculars for this "The World's Most Beautiful Voyage."
Welcome aboard!
