Itinerary
Kiel
The picturesque port city is best known for the Kiel Canal and the unique sailing event "Kiel Week". However, Kiel has much more to offer: Stroll through the pretty port city and enjoy the maritime flair!
Embarkation 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Day 2
Look forward to a varied time out at sea.
Kristiansand (Norway)
Palm trees in Norway? They really do exist - on the sandy beach in Kristiansand. The capital of the Sørlandet region is surrounded by water on three sides. Kristiansand was built on a spit of sand. Discover the "Pearl of Southern Norway" on a scenic drive. Or visit the Vest-Adger open-air museum. For the more adventurous, take a trip along the coast on a RIB boat.
Haugesund (Norway)
Haugesund - the home of the Viking kings. It is the former center of power of King Harald Schönhaar, who united Norway into one kingdom. His burial place, Haraldshaugen, is also located here. But the surrounding area also has a lot to offer - chalk-white beaches like in the Caribbean, the mighty Langfoss waterfall with a height of 612 meters or a hike to the "Little Troll Tongue" - there are many ways to spend a wonderful day in the province of Rogaland.
Eidfjord (Norway)
In the picturesque village of Eidfjord, you can learn more about the unique flora and fauna of Europe's largest high plateau in the modern Hardangervidda Nature Center or try the homemade chocolate from Fjåk.
Enjoy the trip through the beautiful Eidfjord. It is a side arm of the Hardangerfjord, the second longest fjord on the Norwegian coast.
Bergen (Norway)
Bergen combines 900 years of history with the youthful ambience of a student city. With its seven mountains, bays and peninsulas, Bergen was once a center of the Hanseatic League. Traces of this past can still be found today - most clearly in the old merchants' quarter of Bryggen, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you walk on planks through the labyrinth of narrowly built counting houses and warehouses with their beams and cornices.
