After sailing from Tilbury relax into life on board as you sail across to Norway. Your first stop is Eidfjord nestled at the head of one of many branches of the beautiful Hardangerfjord. Visits to the Hardangervidda Nature Centre, remarkable Sysen Dam and towering Voringsfoss waterfall are some of your tour options from the village that is gateway to the largest high mountain plateau in Europe. Flåm is famous as the start of the most dramatic train ride in Europe. The track, which in just twelve miles climbs from fjord level to 2,700 feet, is a remarkable feat of engineering. The steep-sided Flåm Valley, through which it passes, is an extraordinary work of Mother Nature. A popular optional tour, Flåm Railway is not to be missed! After sailing from Flåm enjoy the scenery of the mighty Sognefjord. The following morning you arrive in Skjolden, which nestles beneath some of Norway’s highest mountains and its largest glacier. The Jotunheimen National Park and Jostedal Glacier Park both feature in our tours. The ‘Gateway to the Fjords’ Bergen is a fitting end to this wonderful cruise. Explore the many wonderful shops along the Hanseatic waterfront, or perhaps take the funicular to the summit of Mount Fløien.

	Known as the ‘Gateway to the Fjords’, Bergen is Norway’s second largest city. Yet with a population of less than a quarter of a million, it has the feel of a small town. It is beautifully sited against a backdrop of seven mountains and the funicular ride to the summit of Mount Fløien affords wonderful panoramic views of Bergen and Norway’s attractive coastline. Overlooking the harbour the colourful Bryggen wharf is the face of Bergen. The characteristic wooden gabled buildings were once the home and offices of Hanseatic merchants but today house shops selling crafts and traditional souvenirs.

	Surrounded by towering mountains the tiny village of Flåm, with some 500 inhabitants, nestles at the head of Aurlandsfjord, the innermost arm of the mighty Sognefjord. Its popularity as a tourist destination began in the late 19th century with the arrival of steamships carrying English and German passengers including Europe’s royals attracted by the salmon fishing in the Flåm River. Today’s visitors are drawn to Flåm for a chance to ride on one of the world’s steepest and most spectacular railways. A masterpiece of engineering, Flåm Railway twists and turns through the steep-sided Flåm Valley amidst some of Norway’s most breathtaking mountain scenery.

It is approached via the picturesque Lusterfjord, which is emerald green from the melt water of the glaciers. The pretty village is a gateway to the stunning and varied landscapes of the Jostedalsbreen National Park. Sognefjell Mountain Pass, the highest mountain road in Europe and Urnes Stave Church, the oldest stave church in Norway are highlights of optional excursions from this charming village surrounded by steep hills and spectacular waterfalls
