Winter Vacations and Winter Theme Cruises

Bridge Cruises invite bridge club members and individual bridge players of all skill levels to perfect your bridge playing skills while our ship glides along the coast towards Kirkenes. Beginning in Bergen on the Voyage North, we'll sail gently through the wonders of winter Norway. Our experienced bridge director will run duplicate bridge sessions on the cruise ship for players of all levels, and while the rules of the game will be followed the emphasis is on the enjoyment of the play rather than a highly competitive event. The program will be adapted to allow time for excursions when we call at Alesund, Trondheim, Tromso and Honningsvag. View more

On our music theme cruises, you will sing your way along the dramatic shoreline of the Norwegian coast, or play audience to a group of people coming together with a shared love of song, forming a choral group, singing light-hearted favorites and culminating in a concert for all the guests on the final day of your journey. This voyage offers a unique opportunity to join an experienced choirmaster, who will mold music enthusiasts into a choir. While enjoying the dramatic scenery of this music theme cruise, along the way you will spend some time each day in choral groups and at the end of the voyage, actually perform for your fellow passengers. If you prefer not to sing, you may enjoy encouraging the singers as they prepare for their big day-a perfect way to make new friends. View more
