Western Norway in focus

15 days | Kiel • Bergen • Nordfjordeid • Kristiansund • Lofoten • North Cape • Hammerfest • Harstad • Ålesund • Kiel

Of course, you can also experience the Norwegian west coast from land. But from the water, you are right in the middle of this fabulous landscape. Look forward to the Hardangerfjord, one of the longest fjords in Norway, which stretches 170 kilometers into the country. Get to know (and love!) Norway's second largest city, Bergen, before setting course for the Lofoten Islands. Only a few travelers make the journey here. But it's worth it! The same applies to the North Cape: getting to the northernmost point in Europe by boat is a great adventure! By the time you have seen Ålesund, you will find it hard to decide what you enjoyed most about your Norway cruise.

Bergen (Norway)

Mooring: 12:00 Casting off: 18:00

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.

Nordfjordeid (Norway)

Mooring: 10:00 Casting off: 19:00

The picturesque coastal town is a real gem. With incredible nature and a history dating back to the Vikings, it is a great place for nature and culture lovers.

Kristiansund (Norway)

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 14:00

Colorful houses exude Norwegian flair in Kristiansund! The historically significant harbor town stretches over four islands and was rebuilt after a devastating bombing raid in 1941, so that today it shines again in full splendor.

Svolvær (Lofoten)

Mooring: 16:00 Casting off: 22:00

The charming town of Svolvaer is the gateway to Lofoten. The town is surrounded by spectacular mountain formations and peaks, of which "Svolværgeita" is one of the most famous. The town itself is characterized by traditional fishermen's huts and beautiful beach promenades.

Hammerfest

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 16:00
