Full Itinerary
Day 1: Embarkation, Southampton port
Days 2 - 3: At sea
Day 4: Alesund, Norway
You have Kaiser Wilhelm II to thank for this city’s wonder. He rebuilt his beloved gateway in Art Nouveau style after it was destroyed by fire in 1904. Lose your heart in this gem of the Nordic coast. Today, its buildings feature dreamy turrets and ornate carvings of dragons and mythical figures. Nature has played its part too, as calm waters and distant snow-capped peaks add to the charm.
Day 5: At sea
Day 6: Tromso, Norway
At Tromso, you’re nearly 250 miles inside the Arctic Circle. Clues to your location are everywhere; the bars are fully stocked with Arctic Beer and the Arctic Cathedral resembles a geometric glacier. Tromso features the Polaria Arctic Centre, where the exhibits recreate a polar bear den and an Arctic snowstorm. You might experience them for real from the cable cars that climb Mount Storsteinen.
Day 7: At Sea
Days 8 - 9: Narvik, Norway
Lying just 137 miles inside the Arctic Circle, Narvik may be one of the world’s most northerly towns, but the North Atlantic currents and the mountains that shelter the town make it surprisingly mild. From late May until late July, the midnight sun often sets the landscapes aglow with intense yellows and fiery red-orange hues. One of the best spots to admire its effect on the majestic landscapes is to whisk up Narvikfjellen by cable car for sublime views over the city and the surrounding fjords.
Day 10: At sea
Day 11: Stavanger, Norway
Norway's Stavanger is not only blessed with compelling history, but also natural beauty. From the ancient port, the city radiates across a network of islands which are connected by graceful bridges. Stavanger's cathedral and medieval lanes blend beautifully with the city and countryside. For a journey back in time, take a tour of Utstein Cloister, a beautifully preserved Augustin Monastery.
Day 12: At sea
Day 13: Disembarkation Southampton port
