Cruise Holidays To Norwegian Fjords

Overview

Western Norway is a cruise destination for lovers of the outdoors, with its magnificent fjords, craggy mountains and sleepy offshore islands. Ports of call are close together and most cruises allow maximum time ashore to explore the small, wooden towns and quaint villages that are typical of this region. Almost every town is a working fishing port and in summer, when the sun barely sets, everywhere is buzzing with street life.

Further north lies the land of the midnight sun, and many cruise lines operate special cruises in June and July to admire the phenomenon. Some of these go all the way beyond the North Cape to Spitsbergen, a remote archipelago on the top of the world, where you stand a good chance of seeing polar bears.

Anywhere in Norway, though, offers breathtaking scenery, rich history and excellent shopping for tasteful, handmade souvenirs. Fresh air, friendly people and a feeling of wellbeing are guaranteed!
