CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
Eidfjord
Tucked deep within one of Norway’s most dramatic fjords, Eidfjord feels calm, remote and wonderfully close to nature. Steep mountains rise straight from the water, while waterfalls tumble down rock faces in the distance. This is a place to breathe deeply, whether strolling along the fjord’s edge or simply taking in the stillness and scale of the landscape. Inland, wide valleys and rushing rivers hint at the power of nature that shapes this region. Eidfjord offers a peaceful, awe-inspiring moment at the heart of fjord country.
Flåm
Flåm is surrounded by some of Norway’s most dramatic fjord scenery, where steep mountains rise sharply from calm, dark water. From here, you could take the famous Flåm Railway, climbing through narrow valleys, waterfalls and high mountain farms on one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys. Others may prefer to explore on foot, following quiet paths along the fjord or simply soaking up the scale of the landscape from the village. However you choose to spend your time, Flåm invites awe without hurry.
Måløy
Måløy offers a gentler view of Norway, shaped by open horizons and everyday coastal life. Fishing boats come and go from the harbour, seabirds circle overhead, and the air feels fresh with salt and wind. You might explore the shoreline, visit nearby beaches and viewpoints, or simply enjoy the calm rhythm of a town closely connected to the sea. Måløy feels unpolished, welcoming and quietly restorative.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.
