Stavanger is often referred to as the Petroleum Capital of Norway, and the city offers a charming combination of old buildings and new industries existing side by side. Norway’s oldest cathedral is situated right in the city centre and around the harbour you will also find the oldest surviving wooden housing district in northern Europe.

The famous walls of Preikestolen tower an impressive 604 metres over the Lysefjord. These walls provide a spectacular backdrop as we sail through this popular fjord en route to Rosendal.

Visit Ålesund, a colourful coastal town renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture. Later in the day we will sail into magnificent Geirangerfjord, voted the most iconic destination in the world by National Geographic in 2009. The fjord has also been on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites since 2005.

Enjoy a view of the spectacular Jostedals-breen, the biggest glacier in continental Europe as we sail into Olden where we will spend the day. On the way back to the sea, we will make a late evening sailing to Hyenfjord.

Bergen is Norway’s second largest city and the cultural capital of Norway. The city is best known for its picture-postcard Bryggen district, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
