Norwegian Fjords and Coastline Cruise

Welcome to the Kingdom of Norway – a country with the most beautiful fjords on Earth!
Upon arrival, transfer from the airport to a hotel on your own. (Private transfer can be pre-booked in advance).

Depending on your arrival time, you can start exploring Norway already today. Walk along the streets and explore the city of the royal family, and the main Karl Johan’s Street, with many shops, bars, and cafes. 

At 18:00 meet your Tour Leader at the reception of our hotel for an informative meeting about your tour.

Overnight at Thon Europa or similar.

Breakfast in the hotel. Morning departure by train to Trondheim, around 09:00, with arrival around 14:30 (subject to the schedule). This journey offers fantastic views of the Norwegian countryside, the longest lake Mjosa and Vinstra region.

Trondheim is the third largest city in the country where vikings settled on the estuary of the Nidelven River in the 10th century. Before the sixteenth century it was called Nidaros. Green and flowery city, pleasant pedestrian streets in the center and the old quarters. Panoramic tour of the city with a glimpse of the Cathedral of Nidaros, which is one of the most beautiful Gothic ensembles in Northern Europe.

Overnight at Scandic Nidelven or similar.

Breakfast in the hotel. After breakfast, board the Havila Cruise. We sail through the wide Trondheim fjord surrounded by rolling farmland on both sides, and enter the coast and the open sea.

You can disembark in Kristiansund and be driven along the Atlantic Ocean Road, which has been called the world's most beautiful drive. The road meanders along islets and skerries, and afterwards you can re-embark in Molde (extra fee applies). Lunch on board.

(Optional)The Atlantic Ocean Road is also a popular place for car commercials, and more recently as the location of a car chase scene for the new James Bond film. We stick to a slower speed so you can enjoy the scenery, and we also make time for photo stops. After the drive above the sea, we drive through an undersea tunnel and arrive at Kvernes Stave Church. Stave churches are Norway's most important contribution to European architecture. Kvernes Stave Church is richly decorated with leaf vines over walls and ceilings. The altarpiece and the rest of the church interior is characterised by the exuberant and colourful baroque style of the 17th century.  The journey starts with a sightseeing in Kristiansund, the klipfish capital. The town is built around the international klipfish industry, and while you are there you can sample one of the numerous dishes that can be made from klipfish.  Finally, there is time for a short sightseeing in Molde before boarding the Havila Voyages ship again. Duration: 16:30 – 21:20

Havila Voyage harvests natural resources. That’s why sustainability and the environment are important. Havila Voyage makes sure that most eco friendly passenger ships will provide best standard with the least possible impact on the environment.

Dinner and overnight in superior sea view cabins.

Bergen, the gateway to the fjords of Norway, awaits at the end of the voyage. As a UNESCO World Heritage City and a European City of Culture, the Bergen region has the ideal combination of nature, culture, and exciting urban life all year around.

As you walk from the quay in Sundal, a hamlet on the shore of the Maurangerfjord, you are retracing a historic path toward the Bondhusvatnet lake.

Late afternoon, we will embark on the electric boat to enjoy Hardanger, one of Norway's most romantic destinations. Fruit production is the core of Hardanger, and in May/June, the fjord is surrounded by rows of fruit trees blossoming in pink and white. Add the views of snow-covered peaks, and the romantic vibes are complete. Whether inside the vessel's lounges or outside on deck, you will have great views of the scenic landscape dotted with small farms and cute villages.

Flåmsbana is one of the steepest train lines in the world, and the train journey runs through fantastic nature, past the Rallar road, steep mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, through 20 tunnels, and offers so many viewpoints that many feel like traveling multiple times between the mountain and the fjord.
