8 Jul '28Cruise overview
Fall under the spell of an enchanted journey linking the spectacular fjords of Norway to the elegant shorelines of Southwestern France. Between vertiginous reliefs and majestic waterfalls, the Nordic landscapes will unveil raw and soothing nature, before making way, travelling down the North Sea, for softer horizons, where Belgium reveals its discreet coastlines, with their maritime heritage and authentic charm. Gradually, Normandy then Brittany will come into view, with characterful ports, historic villages and the light of the Atlantic, down to the Gironde estuary, home to a warmer atmosphere shaped by way of life and wide open spaces.
Itinerary
Bergen
Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting. There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic wharf, known as Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade. As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Our comprehensive selection of excursions allows you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as stunning views of the city from the summit of Mt Fløyen. Alternatively, those who have visited the city previously may like to experience one of the tours that travel further afield. Just 300 yards from the main piers, you will find the Fortress Museum (Fesningsmuseum), which has an interesting collection of objects related to World War II.
