Southampton to Southampton

The city center is a charming mix of old city walls and a large modern shopping centre. With multiple restaurants, museums, cinemas and theatres there is plenty to be explored. Time spent at embarkation and disembarkation ports may be limited which may restrict availability of shore excursions.

Umgeben von steilen Hügeln mit großartigen Wasserfällen liegt Skjolden am längsten schiffbaren Fjörd der Welt – Sognefjord. Atemberaubendend gelegen und einst die Heimat des österreichischen Philosophen Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), er schrieb hier einige seiner wichtigsten Arbeiten.

An der Spitze des Nordfjördes liegt das reizende und idyllische Dorf von Olden. Von diesem prächtigen Anlaufhafen werden Sie die beeindruckende traumhafte Landschaft, die Wasserfälle, die in die glasklaren See eintauchen, entdecken. Für das Postkartenpanorama der umliegenden Landschaft, ist nichts besser als eine Bootsfahrt auf dem Lovatnet See. Machen Sie einen Spaziergang durch Olden, hier finden Sie viele Souvenir-Geschäfte, für ein lokales Andenken, welches Sie immer an die schöne Zeit hier erinnern wird.

The beautiful glaciers and fjords are our next cruising extravaganza. Nordfjord is serenely beautiful with a fine display of nature at its most spectacular.

Haugesund, homeland of the Viking kings and birthplace of Norway, is a place where you can inhale the Viking spirit. Surrounded by beautiful coastline, spectacular waterfalls and majestic fjords it’s no wonder the kings called this extraordinary setting home. Populated for thousands of years, you can walk in the footsteps of the great kings at the Nordvegen History Centre and travel back over 3,500 years. St Olav’s Church, dating from 1250 AD, is a monument to the former days of glory, and next to the church stands one of Norway’s tallest pillars, Virgin Mary’s Sewing Needle. In nearby Rehaugene you can explore the ‚Pyramids of the North‘ – six intriguing Bronze Age, earthen burial mounds. And if you are feeling like a spot of retail therapy, you’re in luck – not only is Haugesund filled with charming markets it’s also home to Norway’s longest pedestrian street.
