This cruise explores the coast of Norway from north to south, from the Lofoten Islands, an archipelago located 200km north of the Arctic Circle, the historic land of the Vikings whose islands are among the most beautiful in the world, to the city of Bergen, via the famous fjord region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

​

We offer you a peaceful 11-day cruise through the fjords, with plenty of stops to discover the typical fishing villages and beautiful landscapes for which this coastline is famous, where the mountains seem to rise out of the sea. Like the famous coastal express or Hurtigruten, we'll be sailing along the coast of Norway, but taking the time to stop off in several places !
