Norway’s rugged coastline stretches for around 2,500 km (1,553 mi.) and offers breathtaking natural experiences amidst the fjord landscapes. Accompany the EUROPA in the shimmering light of the midnight sun up to the dream destination of North Cape.
Even your first day at sea on the way to EIDFJORD will fill you with amazement – rocky plateaus floating above green slopes and waterfalls pouring into the deep blue of the fjords. Scenery that will also accompany you in the days to come – for example, when you explore Norway’s capital of art nouveau* in ALESUND or head for North Cape* in SKARSVAG. Are you looking for more adventure? Set off on explorations in TROMSO on a husky summer sled* or get to know the rugged realm of the LOFOTEN ISLANDS on a panoramic trip*. Look forward to Norway’s famous landmarks, such as the Jostedal Glacier* near SKJOLDEN or the Preikestolen, a pulpit rock that towers above you on a boat trip* off STAVANGER. ARENDAL promises an idyllic Norwegian afternoon, before you find ideal conditions in OSLO to celebrate the end of a successful cruise in the evening hours after your city tour.
* The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
