Norway … more fjords than anywhere else on the planet and they are ALL breathtaking
Norway has one of the longest coastlines in the world, and more fjords than any other place on the planet.
And the most relaxing way to see and experience it all is on board a cruise ship, with the benefits of hotel living combined with all the comforts of home.
Forget the hassle of unpacking and repacking every time you reach a new destination. And while on board there are restaurants, bars, and amusements to entertain you.
But don’t expect party the nights away. Most people cruising coastal Norway are looking for calm and relaxation, spectacular scenery and beautiful landscapes, plus a taste of some local specialities along the way.
You can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
Among the natural splendours you can experience from the comforts of a cruise ship are the fabled northern lights and the midnight sun. It’s a strage experience indeed to watch the sun going down and then rising again with no darkness in between.
Usually there will be time for excursions while your ship is in port, with ample time to experience the most interesting cities and towns along the coast.
Hurtigruten offers an alternative, however, with its coastal express from Bergen. Hop on and off as you like and maybe spend a few extra days somewhere along the way.
Cruise ships depart for Norway from many different ports in Europe, with P&O Cruises offering a host of opportunities from Southampton.
And there is also the option of flying direct to Norway and pick up your cruise. For more information Visit Norway is a good place to start.
