Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Trondheim: River city with Nidaros Cathedral and the Gamle Bybro bridge. Wander Bakklandet’s wooden houses and cafés. Museums and the harbourfront sit close together. It’s a calm start with clear landmarks.
- Tromsø (Norway): Arctic gateway with big sky and fjord views. Take the Fjellheisen cable car, visit the Arctic Cathedral, and call at the Polar Museum. If the skies are clear, this is a good spot for aurora hunting. Everything sits within simple transfers.
- Alta (Overnight onboard): Northern Lights Cathedral and the Alta Museum’s rock carvings headline. Quiet roads lead to dark-sky viewpoints. The overnight helps with late-night aurora chances and an unhurried morning in town. It’s a spacious, high-latitude stop.
- Molde: Bayside town known for its rose gardens and vast mountain panorama. Head up to Varden for a grand view or visit the Romsdal Museum. Waterfront paths keep it easy—a gentle day between peaks and port.
- Ålesund: Art Nouveau facades spread over low islands. Climb Aksla for the signature outlook or visit the aquarium. Compact streets make museums and cafés close at hand. Architecture and sea views share the stage.
