Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Haugesund: North Sea heritage and a neat waterfront. Visit the Haraldshaugen monument, stroll through the pedestrian centre, or follow the coastal path. It’s easy-going and compact.
- Olden: A small fjord village with glacier country behind it. Ride the Loen Skylift for big views or visit Briksdal Glacier. Even a gentle lakeside stroll feels special.
- Innvikfjorden (Scenic Cruising): Steep slopes, tiny farms and waterfalls. Keep a camera ready as the light shifts. Slow, quiet drama throughout.
- Molde: Known for roses and mountain panoramas. Walk the waterfront, visit Romsdal Museum, or head to Varden viewpoint. The fjord-and-peak setting steals the show.
- Bodø: Arctic Circle city with sea eagles and strong tides. See the Norwegian Aviation Museum or the Saltstraumen maelstrom. Modern cafés and shore walks line the harbour.
- Ålesund: Art Nouveau streets on island peninsulas. Climb to Aksla for the classic view, then browse the harbourfront. Pretty, tidy and walkable.
- Stavanger (Norway): White wooden houses and a snug old town. Visit the cathedral or take a boat to Lysefjord—coffee spots cluster by the quay.
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Canals, cobbles and quiet courtyards. Climb the Belfry, see the Groeningemuseum, and linger near the Markt. Best taken at an easy pace.
