Norwegian Fjords & Denmark Cruise

8 Days / 10 locations in Finland, Denmark, and Norway

Summer is full of wonders and experiences. One of them is the cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. Emerald green waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, narrow waterways and charming villages offer magnificent scenery from the ship's deck. Experience a train ride climbing nearly 900m from a fjord to the mountain top and enjoy the breath-taking view. The tranquility of the fjords will give you an illusion of the world stopping for a moment. What a difference to the big cities!

Eduard Grieg's Bergen, the red houses in the harbour and the overabundant fish market are significant features of Norway's second largest city, which was founded already in 1070. Be inspired by Østerlars Round Church on the Danish Island of Bornholm. The church dates back to the middle of the 12th century and was used both as a place of worship and for protection against enemies from the sea. Experience the Skagen area, where Kattegat and Skagerrak meet at Grenen. The area is extremely picturesque and closely associated with the Skagen Painters, an artist colony, who flocked to this area in the late 1800s.

The northernmost point of the cruise is Trondheim, the first capital of Norway. Trondheim holds a special place in Norwegian history and culture. It has been and still is the city where new kings receive their ceremonial blessing. In our times Trondheim is a major technology centre for research and education. A town where past and present meet and the northern light stays continuously with us.

Shore excursion bookings can be made before departure or on board the ship. Because they are so popular we recommend advance booking. The excursions are guided in Finnish. Nearly every excursion contains a lot of walking. Please remember to bring comfortable footwear with you! We reserve the right for changes.
