Ålesund differs from other Norwegian cities in that it is not built out of wood but rather stone. This is due to a fi re that broke out in 1904. Stroll along the Keiser Wilhelms Gate boulevard, which serves as a tribute to the king who sent help after the fire.

Day 2

Recreation at sea.

Bergen (Norway)

Mooring: 12:30 Casting off: 20:00

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.

Geiranger

Mooring: 12:30 Casting off: 20:00

The way to the enchanting Norwegian town of Geiranger leads you through the 15-kilometer-long, legendary Geirangerfjord. Cascades of water cascade down from vertically sloping walls, billowing veils of mist form on the cliffs and mighty mountains tower up on both shores - you will never forget this unique natural experience!

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.

Leknes (Lofoten)

Mooring: 14:00 Casting off: 22:00

Gently rolling hills, impressively high mountains, deep forests, raging rivers and tranquil mountain lakes characterize the landscapes in Lofoten. Does the scent of fresh cod rise to your nostrils? Then you have arrived in tranquil Leknes! The cod is hung out to dry in front of the rorbuer, red-washed wooden huts.

Honningsvåg (Nordkap)

Welcome to the gateway to the North Cape! The North Cape Road takes you from Honningsvåg through a barren, incomparably impressive tundra landscape to the famous slate plateau. Enjoy the unforgettable views and keep an eye out for wild reindeer.

Cruising at the North Cape.

Honningsvåg (Nordkap)

Mooring: 01:00 Casting off: 22:00

Hammerfest

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 17:00

Welcome to the northernmost city in the world! Become a member of the Polar Bear Club in Hammerfest, Norway, and learn a lot of interesting facts about the Nordic culture in the associated exhibition. And maybe you will even meet a real polar bear?

Svolvær (Lofoten)

Mooring: 09:00 Casting off: 18:00

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.

In Trondheim, the imposing Nidaros Cathedral commemorates the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, who founded the picturesque port city thousands of years ago. Stroll through Bakklandet, the cozy old town of the Norwegian city, and enjoy culinary delights in the charming cafés.

Molde (Norway)

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 15:30

Situated at the wide mouth of the Romsdalsfjord, the "City of Roses" welcomes you. A branch of the Gulf Stream provides a mild climate and vegetation that you would expect to find in the southern hemisphere. Molde is particularly beautiful from above. The 407-metre-high Mount Vaden offers an overwhelming view of the fjords with the skerries and the more than 200 partially snow-covered peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps, one of the most beautiful panoramas in Norway.

Ålesund

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 15:00

After a great fire at the beginning of the 20th century, the city center had to be almost completely restored. This reconstruction created a beautiful city center, which is fully characterized by Art Nouveau.
