Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Stavanger (Norway): Compact harbour and wooden houses in Gamle Stavanger. Visit the oil museum for North Sea history, take a ferry-bus combo towards Lysefjord, or sample cinnamon buns on Øvre Holmegate. Easy to see a lot in a short time.
- Olden: A small fjord village backed by glaciers. Ride the Loen Skylift, walk to the turquoise lakes at Briksdal, or follow a gentler valley path. Views arrive quickly once ashore.
- Skjolden: At the head of Sognefjord. Take the scenic road to Jostedalen, visit the Urnes Stave Church across the water, or enjoy a shoreline cycle. It’s calm, with big hills all around.
- Bergen: Bryggen’s timber wharf and a tangle of lanes. Ride the Fløibanen funicular, explore the fish market, or duck into small museums. Weather shifts often, so pack a layer or two.
- Kristiansand (Norway): Southern coastal town with beaches and fortifications. Walk Posebyen’s wooden streets, visit the cannon museum at Møvik, or take the island ferry—Laid-back and tidy.
- Oslo: Green spaces and a busy waterfront. See the Munch Museum, stroll in Vigeland Park, or tour the Viking Ship Museum. Distances are manageable by tram or on foot.
- Copenhagen: Canals, cyclists and royal squares. See Nyhavn and Christiansborg, call in at the Designmuseum, or wander through the free town of Christiania. Café stops come naturally here.
- Skagen (Denmark): Northern tip where two seas meet. Visit the art museum for Skagen painters, walk out to Grenen’s sand spit, or explore yellow-washed houses. Bright light and open skies define it.
