Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Haugesund: Harbour town with Viking roots and sea-going history. Walk Karl Johan’s Gate and the waterfront, or head to Haraldshaugen. The nearby islands make for easy boat trips. It’s a gentle first look at fjord country.
- Olden: Small village backed by steep slopes and emerald water. Visit Briksdal Glacier or cruise Lake Lovatnet by boat. The valley roads offer simple viewpoints and short walks. It’s where Norway’s drama feels close but unforced.
- Innvikfjorden (Scenic Cruising): Narrow waters, high walls, and scattered farms. Watch for waterfalls and hanging valleys as the ship turns. Deck time pays off with shifting light and long views. It’s Norway in a wide-angle shot without leaving the rail.
- Stavanger (Norway): Old town clapboard houses sit beside a modern harbour. Visit the Petroleum Museum or take a boat trip towards Lysefjord. Cafés and galleries dot the compact centre. It’s an easy day on foot with fjord excursions close by.
- Kristiansand (Norway): Southern Norway’s beach town with a grid of streets and a tidy harbour. Explore Posebyen’s old wooden houses and the fish market. Bystranda and the boardwalk give a quick coastal fix. It’s a relaxed end before the sail home.
