Official voyage overview

Savor the sight of indigo fjords and colorful fjord towns, and delve into Celtic culture from Scottish tartans and historic Highland castles to lively Irish celidhs. Incredible scenery takes many forms: Rapunzel-like waterfalls, romantic ruins, crooked old warehouses, wild islands. And with a mix of popular ports and several small maiden ports, there’s always something new to discover. Explore Bergen’s UNESCO wharf and Alesund’s famous Art Deco architecture – two towns in a neck-and-neck race for the most picturesque fjord city. Discover neolithic ruins on remote Scottish isles, sip local tipples from Guinness to whisky, and trace legends to their source at the Giant’s Causeway and Loch Ness. This unique itinerary includes maiden calls to tiny fjord towns like Andalsnes, Froya, and OldenLoen, as well as Trondheim, Norway’s charming and walkable first capital.
