This compact, highly walkable port town is steeped in rich Viking heritage and offers an array of museums, galleries, shops and cafes to explore and swathes of delightful nature on its doorstep. You may decide to join a guided walking tour of the town to learn about its history, visit the picturesque nearby islands of Karmøy and Bukkøy, hike to the spectacular Himakana mountain viewpoint, or perhaps even venture out on a RIB boat safari.

Flåm
Having sailed overnight, you’ll wake up this morning to the resplendent sight of the Norwegian fjords. Your destination is the village of Flåm, nestled in a branch of Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord, which stretches for more than 200 kilometres. There’s no shortage of ways to explore this awe-inspiring region, whether it be a ride up into the mountains on the iconic Flåm Railway (one of the world’s steepest rail journeys), a kayaking adventure on the nearby Nærøyfjord, or a hike to the jaw-dropping Stegastein panoramic lookout point, where you’ll be treated to stunning views overlooking the fjord. Alternatively, there are tours taking in ancient Viking settlements, waterfalls and wooden stave churches.

The village of Geiranger, deep within the fjord, is a superb base from which to enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities, including mountain hikes, bike tours, RIB boat safaris and kayaking experiences. This undoubtedly among the highlights of the cruise, and a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the most majestic parts of Norway.
