Norway & Fjords Cruises
UNESCO-listed fjords, Viking heritage, and the midnight sun. Norwegian cruises deliver the most dramatic scenery in European waters.
Cruising the Norway & Fjords
Norway's fjord coast is widely regarded as the most spectacular cruise destination in Europe, with deep-blue waterways cutting between sheer mountain walls, cascading waterfalls, and charming villages clinging to impossibly steep hillsides.
The Norwegian fjords season runs from May to September, with the longest daylight hours in June and July — including the midnight sun north of the Arctic Circle. The most popular itinerary departs from Bergen (or Southampton) and visits Geirangerfjord, Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord, and the Lofoten Islands.
Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the crown jewel — ships navigate the narrow 15-kilometre fjord beneath the Seven Sisters and Suitor waterfalls. Sognefjord, Norway's longest and deepest fjord, reaches over 200 kilometres inland. The Lofoten Islands, above the Arctic Circle, offer dramatic fishing villages and some of the world's finest aurora viewing in late season. Hurtigruten's coastal voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes remains the definitive Norwegian cruise experience.
