Gastronomic Journey Through Norwegian Fjords
7 nights
Le Champlain
5 Jul '27Cruise overview
Carried by the sea spray, set sail on a gastronomic journey through Norway, where nature has sculpted its most majestic masterpieces. In the exceptional presence of a chef from one of the Alain Ducasse restaurants, you will sail through Viking legends and colourful wooden villages while contemplating the raw power of the Geiranger Fjord with its roaring waterfalls, and of the Lysefjord with its mythical Preikestolen, a dizzying granite pulpit standing eternally over the void.
On land, the country’s history harmonises with the grandeur of its landscapes: the old town of Skudeneshavn, the Art Nouveau heritage of Ålesund and Bergen’s Hanseatic quarter reveal the full cultural richness of the Nordic kingdom. This is a flavoursome journey between millennia-old landscapes and a fascinating culture, to discover the majestic spirit of Norway’s fjords.
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.
