Voyage through the Norwegian Fjords

Witness Norway’s incredible coastal beauty on a ship designed to voyage through the Norway's fjords. No matter what time of year you go, your journey to Norway will reveal stunning landscapes as you experience the contrasts between the northern and southern regions of the country. 

Bergen: Norway's Historic Port City

Bergen has it all: beautiful architecture, rich history, and stunning natural beauty. This Norwegian port city is a highlight of any visit to Scandinavia.

Tour of Ålesund

Take a walking tour of Ålesund, which was completely rebuilt in the art nouveau style following a 1904 fire.

Tour of Trondheim

Embark on a walking tour of medieval Trondheim, Norway's historic and religious capital.


Norway's Spring Awakening

Experience three seasons on a single cruise during April and May departures of our grand Norwegian coastal voyage. In Bergen and the surrounding area you will see the signs of spring, while further north snow still covers much of the land.


Norwegian Summer & the Midnight Sun

Norway’s mountains trade their snowy veils for green while fields burst into bloom under the radiant midnight sun, which you can enjoy on June through August departures.

OPTIONAL EXTENSION TO Helsinki, Finland

Whether you’re viewing Helsinki’s 1852 cathedral, crossing one of its many parks or squares, or seeing yourself reflected in the glass of a brand-new building, you'll find that there’s an appealing orderliness and grace to this northern capital.

Karin Jans, Adventure Leader, Norway

Karin is a lifelong learner, interested in music, art, Scandinavian architecture, and the Italian language. Although she has traveled extensively in the Far East, South America, the United States, and Europe, Karin — a self-described people-person — loves passing along her knowledge of Scandinavia. Educated in Sweden, Karin graduated from the teacher’s college in Malmö and completed training with Scandinavian Airlines to be a flight attendant. She became a licensed tour guide after graduating from Roskilde University in Denmark.

Clarion Collection Hotel Havnekontoret
