Arrival in the morning, Departure in the afternoon

Haugesund, homeland of the Viking kings and birthplace of Norway, is a place where you can inhale the Viking spirit. Surrounded by beautiful coastline, spectacular waterfalls, and majestic fjords, it's no wonder the kings called this extraordinary setting home. Populated for thousands of years, you can walk in the footsteps of the great kings at the Nordvegen History Centre and travel back over 3,500 years. St Olav's Church, dating from 1250 AD, is a monument to the former days of glory, and next to the church stands one of Norway's tallest pillars, the Virgin Mary's Sewing Needle. In nearby Rehaugene, you can explore the 'Pyramids of the North' - six intriguing Bronze Age, earthen burial mounds. And if you are feeling like a spot of retail therapy, you're in luck - not only is Haugesund filled with charming markets, it's also home to Norway's longest pedestrian street.

Everything about Ålesund is pretty. From its location at the entrance of Geirangerfjord to its unique architecture, it’s the kind of place that sticks with you long after you’ve left. Because it was completely rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 1904, Alesund looks quite different from other Norwegian towns along the country's west coast, now better known as simply 'Fjordland'.

Stretching across three islands at the mouth of the magnificent Geirangerfjord, Ålesunds architecture is now an eclectic mixture of mock-Gothic and neo-classical with more than a dash of Art Nouveau. Turrets and spires dot the skyline, and you can trace the town's architectural style development at the Art Nouveau Centre, one of several fascinating museums in the town. The pick is the open-air Sunnmere, while the Atlantic Sea-Park is also worth a visit as one of the largest aquariums in northern Europe.

Ålesund is also a lively fishing town and home to one of Norway’s most important traditional fishing harbours, in fact, more than two-thirds of the world’s production of klipfish comes from here.

A visit to the Mount Aksla lookout offers panoramic views of the town, the surrounding archipelago, and the fjords.

Arrival in the morning, Departure in the afternoon

The peaceful village of Olden has the perfect Fjordland cruise setting - nestling at the southern end of one branch of the beautiful Nordfjord and at the entrance to the gorgeous Oldedalen Valley.

Olden is blessed with a beautiful fjordic coastline, towering mountains, and the biggest glacier in mainland Europe, Jostedalsbreen. There’s easy access to both the Briksdal and Kjenndalen glaciers, plunging dramatically into the valleys below. Crystal-clear Lake Oldevatnet is set among steep mountains and roaring waterfalls. In a nutshell, it’s Norwegian nature at its finest.
