Sail Away...

Bergen, Norway Bergen is called the "Gateway to the Fjords," as it is a great launching point for a tour of nature's Hardanger Fjord, Sogne Fjord and Geiranger Fjord. This city has a wonderful mix of ar- chitectural styles that add to its 18th-century charm. And as birthplace of virtuoso violinist Ole Bull and pianist Edvard Grieg, Bergen is considered the cultural capital of Norway.

Olden / Nord Fjord, Norway Located at the head of three valleys amid the sublimely peaceful surroundings of the Inner Nord Fjord, the pretty village of Olden is a gateway to the spectacular ice wilderness of stunning di- mensions.

Hellesylt, Norway (scenic cruising of Geiranger Fjord) The small village of Hellesylt is an old Viking port located at the head of the Fjord on the northwest coast of Norway. Here, glacier-fed streams cascade over towering granite cliffs and descend to the calm waters of the fjord. The thundering wa- terfalls, snow-capped mountains, lakes and crystalline glaciers, inspired Henrik Ibsen's dramatic masterpiece, "Brand."

Geiranger, Norway The fjord of Geiranger is one of most famous of Norway. Sur- rounded by mountains reaching over 3,000 feet high, the im- pressive natural beauty has led some to pronounce it the "most beautiful fjord in the world." To get here, a 60-mile passage leads through sheer, steep cliffs and spectacular views of water- falls.

Alesund, Norway The tiny outpost of Ny Ålesund is the northernmost settlement in the world. This remote island in the Spitsbergen archipelago of Svalbard (Norway) is located on the south shore of the Arctic Ocean, and serves primarily as a place for scientific research, yet filled with natural wonders.

Optional Shore Excursions are not included in the price. We will assist you in booking shore excursions before the cruise to avoid waiting in line on the ship.

4 Akureyri, Iceland Iceland is a place of delightful contradictions where flowers flourish amid ice and snow. Some of nature's most powerful antics, from active volcanoes to geothermal phenomena, exist only a few miles from charming towns and major cultural centers. For those in search of the unexpected, the surprises begin in Akureyri — Iceland's second-largest city.

Reykjavik, Iceland Reykjavik is the gateway to Iceland's stunning natural wonders, which range from ice fields to boiling thermal pools. The landscape on the island seems to be in a continual process of transformation much like its society, which blends Nordic tradition with sophisticated technology.

Belfast, Northern Ireland Capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast was a big industrial city in the 19th century, famous for its linens and shipyards—a city of great pride that was transformed by the Industrial Revolution. Belfast curls around the west bank of the River Lagan. Tour its grand public buildings or travel to the mythical Giant's Cause- way.
