When the ice cap receded millions of years ago, it left behind a craggy coastline with endless opportunities for discoveries to be made in its lush, green fjord landscape. The majestic mountainsides are reflected in the calm waters and in some places the ice has been left behind in mighty glaciers. Take some walks to discover thundering waterfalls, gorges and mountains, or encounter the legacy of the Vikings in the colourful fishing villages.
The cruise is fully booked.
