Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Stavanger (Norway): Historic wooden houses cluster by the harbour. Take a fjord cruise or walk to city viewpoints and galleries. Calm streets meet wild landscapes just beyond.
- Ålesund: Art Nouveau facades on islands joined by bridges. Climb the steps to Mount Aksla for the postcard view, then try local cod at the harbour. It’s graceful and sea-laced.
- Olden: Lakes, pasture, and glacier valleys define the stop. The Loen Skylift gives instant altitude, while valley paths offer quieter moments. Nature does the heavy lifting.
- Innvikfjorden (Scenic Cruising): Watch for waterfalls, boathouses and sudden shafts of light. Stay out on deck for the bends and narrows. The scenery rolls past like a film.
- Haugesund: Harbour walks, Viking sites and easy coffee stops. Visit Avaldsnes or the Haraldshaugen monument. Low-key, coastal and plain enjoyable.
