Cruise highlights: Join Balmoral on this Summertime Norway cruise from Southampton, and experience the dramatic landscapes of the Norwegian Fjords. With an extensive choice of shore tours available, you will be able to tailor your cruise holiday to suit your personal interests.
Charming Stavanger is your first port of call, and the old town of Gamle Stavanger has narrow winding streets to stroll through, and quaint wooden houses to explore. Many of the attractions here can be reached on foot, and the intriguing Norwegian Petroleum Museum gives you an insight as to how oil and gas are created and what they are used for. As you are travelling around the city, look out for the 23 cast iron figures, sculpted by Antony Gormley, dotted around at different locations here.
Your cruise ship continues on to Bergen, where you can explore the city, including the vibrant fish market and the colourful wooden houses along the waterfront. Picture postcard Olden is next, and the breathtaking scenery here will leave you with lasting memories. The town is the base for a journey to the Briksdal Glacier, and as you travel up to the stunning glacier, you will pass the magnificent Lokenfossen Waterfall.
Flam is your final port of call on this inspirational cruise holiday, and does not disappoint, with it’s spectacular natural beauty. Surrounded by towering mountains, roaring waterfalls and deep valleys, it’s prefect for those looking for a one-of-a-kind experience with nature. Take the fantastic railway journey to Myrdal, climbing almost 2800ft through tunnels, over bridges and past stunning waterfalls.
