Norwegian coastal ports
The ports along the Norwegian coast make up a colourful parade of larger and smaller coastal towns and villages, each with its own personality. They include Norway’s second and third largest cities – Bergen and Trondheim – and enrich your voyage with inspiring lessons in history, geography and culture. You can visit them on the Original Coastal Voyage and the Expedition cruises.
