Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Haugesund: Quiet harbour town tied to Viking heritage. Visit Avaldsnes to explore its rich history, stroll along the coastal paths, or unwind at the waterfront cafés. Norway’s seafaring roots show here.
- Olden: Village framed by glaciers and green slopes. Take a trip to Briksdal Glacier, cruise Lake Oldevatnet, or enjoy easy walks near the fjord. It’s peaceful and dramatic in equal measure.
- Innvikfjorden (Scenic Cruising): Narrow fjord with high cliffs and waterfalls. Watch the scenery shift as the ship threads between valleys. Nature does the talking here.
- Alesund: Art Nouveau facades and island views. Climb the Aksla viewpoint, stroll the harbour streets, or visit the aquarium. It’s one of Norway’s prettiest towns.
- Oslo (Overnight onboard): Compact capital backed by forest and water. See the Viking Ship Museum, stroll Vigeland Park, or take in the evening light from Aker Brygge. Staying overnight means time to linger.
- Gdynia (tours to Gdansk): Modern port leading to Gdansk’s old town. Explore its shipyard history, riverside markets, and amber shops. The contrast of old and new Poland stands out.
- Copenhagen: Danish capital of bikes and canals. Visit Nyhavn, the Little Mermaid, or Rosenborg Castle. Clean design and calm order meet seaside charm.
- Hamburg: Germany’s gateway city. Explore Speicherstadt, see the Elbphilharmonie, or take a river launch. Its maritime energy never sleeps.
