Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Haugesund: A maritime town with snug streets and sea views. Stroll Haraldshaugen, then follow the waterfront for cafés and local history. It’s a gentle introduction to the fjords.
- Olden: Mountains, water, and the road curling between them. Take the Loen Skylift for vast views or walk to a glacier lake. The scenery does the talking here.
- Innvikfjorden (Scenic Cruising): Steep sides, farmsteads, and shifting light. Keep an eye out for waterfalls as the ship threads the waterway. It’s unhurried viewing from the rail.
- Ålesund: Art Nouveau fronts and island panoramas define the town. Climb the steps to Aksla lookout or visit the local aquarium. The blend of design and setting is distinctive.
- Stavanger (Norway): Cobbled lanes meet a working harbour. Explore Gamle Stavanger, and then consider taking a trip to Pulpit Rock. There’s culture ashore and big nature just beyond.
