Day 2 - Cruising

Day 3 - Cruising

Day 4 - Olden

Arrive: Sat 03 June 2017 / Depart: Sat 03 June 2017

At the head of the three valleys amid the sublimely peaceful surroundings of the Inner Norfjord, idyllic Olden is the key to a not-to-be-missed journey up the million-years-old and ever-advancing Briksdal Galcier, best known of the gigantic Jostedal's many icy arms.

Day 4 - Cruising Nordfjord

Day 4 - Cruising Hornelen

Day 5 - Flam

Arrive: Sun 04 June 2017 / Depart: Sun 04 June 2017

Little Flam lies at the southern end of the Aurlandsfjord, one of the branches of the beautiful Sognefjord. From the tiny village you can enjoy a spectacular 40-minute rail journey spiralling nearly 3,000ft up a steep mountain gorge to Myrdal. Flam claims Norway's oldest church (built in 1667) - and with its traditionally decorated walls also arguably the prettiest.

Day 5 - Cruising Naeroyfjord

Day 6 - Bergen

Arrive: Mon 05 June 2017 / Depart: Mon 05 June 2017

Bergen was one of the great Hanseatic ports, and this maritime heritage is recalled by the 900-year-old Bryggen Wharf, with its splendid museum. The Bryggen is a delight to explore: its narrow streets climb away from the waterfront, lined by interesting shops, colourful half-timbered houses and cobbled stairways, with alleyways and tiny open spaces that beg to be explored. In summer months every spare corner seems to be filled with pots and containers overflowing with colourful flowers that fill the air with perfume. Bergen is framed by seven magnificent hills, the highest of which can be reached by a funicular railway. From the top there are spectacular views down to the harbourside, where cafés, bars and restaurants welcome visitors from around the world. Bergen was the home of Norway’s most famous composer, Edvard Grieg, and the Troldhaugen is a museum devoted to his life and work, including an exhibition centre, shop and café.

Day 7 - Kirkwall, Orkney Islands

Arrive: Tue 06 June 2017 / Depart: Tue 06 June 2017

Ancient echoes of Christian, Nordic and Celtic history resonate here in the capital of the Orkneys, whose 70 little islands of the Scottish north coast were conquered by 9th century Norsemen before being returned after non-payment of a loan! Kirkwall's St Magnus Cathedral has been drawing worshippers for 800 years – but even this time scale is eclipsed by the 5,000-years-old enigma of Skara Brae's Neolithic settlement.
