Norwegian Cruises

Norwegian cruises are experience-rich, unescorted programs, designed to give you a real sense of the country. Norway is a land like no other and Norwegian cruises afford you travel adventures through Norway's fjords and untouched countryside. Enjoy expeditions to scenic waterfalls, salmon rivers, cultural exploration and so much more. Norwegian cruises offer you both history lessons and the opportunity to create some history of your own, as you craft vacation memories that will last a lifetime.

Your journey begins in Oslo, Norway. Here you'll have plenty of time to investigate the many attractions within this capital city. Next, you'll board the scenic Bergen Railway, which travels through the Hallingdal Valley and the unspoiled fjord region to Norway's second largest city, Bergen. With the afternoon at leisure, you'll have time to visit the charming old Bryggen harbor or the Akvariet, an aquarium with the largest collection of saltwater fish in Europe. In the evening you'll embark on your incomparable Norwegian cruise. This will be an unforgettable journey filled with breathtaking sailing adventures including Kirkenes, an arctic outpost along the Russian border. You'll awe at the stunning scenery through the island groups of Lofoten and Vesteralen and hold your breath as your ship carefully slips through the narrow Raftsun Strait into Trollfjord. You'll enjoy plenty of time along the way to explore on your own or take optional shore excursions designed to enhance each destination.
