  • Bergen, Norway
It's only fitting for your Norwegian adventure to begin in Bergen, Norway's cultural and artistic hotspot. Your hotel is located in the heart of the city. Spend the rest of the day or evening at your leisure exploring Norway's second-largest city. In many ways, Bergen is a living museum of medieval times. Founded by King Olaf III in 1070 AD, Bergen was Norway's capital for many years. As you wander its cobblestone streets and alleyways, note how this bustling city hasn't lost any of its heritage and historic charm. Depending on how much time you have, take a funicular train to the top of Mount Floyen. At the summit, take in spectacular views of Bergen, its fjords, and the surrounding mountains. For dinner, what better place than the fish market in the city center? Its indoor stalls cook fresh seafood on the spot, filling the air with appetizing aromas. ...

  • Cruise Begins
  • Bergen, Norway
After breakfast at your hotel, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of Bergen. Visit well-known sites like Nordnes Peninsula, medieval Hakon's Hall, the Renaissance-era Rosenkrantz Tower, and the 12th-century St. Mary's Church, known as Mariakirken in Norwegian. Your tour will also take you by the UNESCO World Heritage-listed buildings in the Bryggen district. Once filled with 14th-century Hanseatic League traders, these colorful wooden wharves now house artisanal boutiques and galleries ideal for souvenir shopping. The tour will end at the pier, where your ship, MS Trollfjord, is waiting to depart by mid-afternoon. Once you've settled into your cabin or suite, you'll meet your Coastal Experience Team. Meet each member of the team as they give lectures and organize onboard activities throughout your cruise. Grab a drink in the ship's two-story panorama lounge and meet your fellow guests. Your scenic adventure along Norway's coast is underway! Enjoy your first hours of sailing from Bergen into Hjeltefjord. ...

Molde, Norway
  • Molde, Norway
Molde is the capital and commercial center of Romsdalen, which sits on the southern coast of the Romsdal Peninsula. You'll have all the time you need to enjoy the town. Your Coastal Experience Team will organize optional activities to enhance your experience in Molde. Accessible nearby on an optional excursion is the Atlantic Road, an icon of the Norwegian coast that often features in Hollywood movies. If the weather is favorable and time permits, join an optional hike up to Varden viewpoint for the best panoramic views of the area. Gaze down at the town from a height of 1,319 feet above sea level and admire the 222 snowy peaks that can be seen across Moldefjord. If you prefer to stay closer to the ground, pop into the Romsdal Museum, one of Norway's largest folk museums. It's only ten minutes from the town center. ...

  • Rorvik, Norway
The Vikna archipelago is a chain of about 6,000 islands, islets, and skerries. The largest of the chain, Inner-Vikna, is our next stop. We aim to dock at the port town of Rorvik around mid-morning and stay there for most of the day. The town and its surrounding areas have a long history, with burial mounds that date back to ancient times. The area's maritime legacy is on display across Rorvik's many museums, particularly the Norwegian Coastal Museum. Travel through Rorvik's history on an optional guided tour across three of the town's main museums. Similarly, at the SalmoNor visitor's center, you can take a tour of a modern salmon farm and find out more about the Norwegian aquaculture industry that supplies the world with tasty Nordic salmon. Another major export is cod, and the town even has an annual Cod Festival in March. Cod is especially common in the waters of the archipelago during winter. Why not indulge in some fresh cod cakes? ...

  • Lodingen, Norway, Norway
Lodingen is a village and administrative center on the southwestern shore of Hinnoya, with a population of under 2,000. We'll dock at around midday, using Lodingen as a base for a few hours to explore more of Hinnoya island, Norway's largest island south of Svalbard. Wander the streets near the port and admire the traditional red fishing huts, or rorbuer, that line the shore. As you walk, you'll likely notice the calm atmosphere of village life. The highlight of this visit is definitely the breathtaking fjords and mountains that have made the Norwegian coast so famous. Gullesfjord branches off of Andfjord and cuts into the north side of Hinnoya, bordered by pristine mountain ranges. The area is popular with campers, who stay on the campsite or in cabins and fish for cod in the fjord during winter. One optional excursion is a boat safari that brings you closer to the fjord. Challenge yourself to a hike in the mountains for the reward of majestic panoramas of the surrounding land and sea. ...

Alta, Norway
  • Alta, Norway
Alta is one of the bigger coastal towns we visit, with a population of over 10,000 people. A particularly famous part of the town is Alta River, one of Norway's best salmon rivers. Large salmon are regularly caught here, with some weighing up to 53 pounds. You won't regret trying fresh, grilled salmon at one of the local restaurants. At 70 degrees north, this town is still far above the Arctic Circle. The area is known for particularly good Northern Lights visibility, so keep your camera ready. If the skies are clear and the conditions are right during the winter season, you should be able to snap some amazing shots of the lights dancing above. You can learn more about this incredible natural light show on a guided tour of the town. The Northern Lights Cathedral even has an exhibition showing how Alta became the epicenter of ground-breaking research of the aurora borealis between the 19th and 20th centuries. Increased snowfall in the winter allows for some truly authentic Arctic excursions. The snow and climate of Alta also creates the perfect conditions to build and maintain the Igloo Hotel, located on the banks of river Alta. In winter, you can visit and tour the world's northernmost ice hotel, built out of snow and ice every winter and carved with different artistic themes by local sculptors. Head to the hotel's ice bar, decorated with handcrafted ice sculptures. Order a drink in an ice glass - no ice cubes needed. ...

Honningsvag, Norway
  • Honningsvag, Norway
You have a full and exciting day to look forward to in Honningsvag. Honningsvag is the northernmost city on the mainland, and its landscape is distinctive, with barely any trees or bushes. This far north, winters are long and the snowfall is high, so prepare for fantastic winter scenery and activities. Feel the snow crunching under your snowshoes as you hike across the plains. You could even try your hand at ice fishing, a beloved winter tradition in the far north. Taste the local delicacy, king crab, which is caught in the waters around Honningsvag and served year-round. Admire local art in the Once Upon a Dream art gallery, and don't miss the Honningsvag Church. This is the oldest building in the area, dating back to 1885. The highlight of any trip to Honningsvag is a visit to the North Cape. This is one of the northernmost points in mainland Europe, which we will access by snowmobile during the snowy winter months. It's an unmatched experience to stand near the northern edge of Norway and look out over the Barents Sea under the polar night sky. Add the Northern Lights to the sky above and the moment will be unforgettable. The cape is marked with a famous globe monument, which demands a selfie or two... or five. When you're ready, head inside North Cape Hall to warm up. Learn about life in the High Arctic through a short film and a variety of exhibits. Having reached the northernmost point of our cruise, we'll turn around and begin going south as we sail away in the evening. ...

Tromso, Norway
  • Tromso, Norway
Today, you can explore the Arctic Capital. Often called the 'gateway to the Arctic', Tromso is Norway's northernmost university city and the ideal place to enjoy winter activities like dog sledding and snowshoeing. Located approximately 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Tromso experiences polar night for just over a month in the winter, which gives you a great chance of seeing the Northern Lights. This urban center is buzzing with life, with everything from trendy restaurants and cafes to boutique shops selling local crafts and produce. You can even find some high fashion. MS Trollfjord will be in port here for the whole day, giving you plenty of time to join optional excursions and explore the city on your own. There are exhilarating activities on offer to get you closer to nature and Tromso's wildlife. Embark on a mini polar expedition, as you cross the snowy Arctic on a sled pulled by husky dogs. Or immerse yourself in Arctic serenity as you enjoy an unforgettable view of orca and humpback whales in their natural habitat. For a cultural fix, learn to knit with the locals. Satisfy your curiosity about daily life north of the Arctic Circle on an excursion to meet the local Sommaroy people. ...

  • Stokmarknes, Norway
  • Svolvaer, Norway
Today, we explore Lofoten, a striking group of islands that rise out of the Norwegian Sea. As soon as you see the towering peaks around you with fishing villages clinging to their sides, you'll understand why this island chain is so often praised as one of Norway's most stunning locations. We can't visit the area without spending some time in Stokmarknes. This historic town is part of Vesteralen, an archipelago just northeast of Lofoten. This place is particularly special. Shipping pioneer Richard With founded the Original Coastal Express here in 1893. The Coastal Express soon became a lifeline for Norway's remote coastal communities. Standing on the waterfront, you'll find Hurtigruten's 1956 ship MS Finnmarken, encased in a glass building like a ship in a bottle. This is Hurtigrutemuseet, the museum that chronicles company's history as Norway's leading costal exploration cruise line. On a guided tour, you can explore the retired vessel and experience the atmosphere of a bygone era. We'll dock in the town of Svolvaer in the afternoon. Located on the island of Austvagoya in the south of Lofoten, Svolvaer is the biggest town of the archipelago, humming with shops, restaurants, galleries, and cafes. You can also admire views of the Svolvaer Goat, a nearby mountain that resembles a goat and its horns. A wide range of optional excursions is available from Svolvaer, which may include snowshoe hikes, scenic bus tours to Lofoten's highlights, or winter kayaking. ...

  • Bronnoysund, Norway
Surrounded by islands and water, Bronnoysund sits on a narrow peninsula that juts out from the mainland. Around 5,000 people live in this small town, many in colorful houses against a backdrop of gentle slopes and dramatic mountain peaks. Enjoy the bustling atmosphere of the harbor and stroll along Havnegata. Drop into one of the pubs for a snack, or treat yourself to a meal in a local restaurant. Wander the visitors' marina, or visit an 1870 stone church built in Neo-Gothic style. As we sail, look out for the Vega archipelago, a cluster of some 6,500 islands, skerries, and islets. There's a UNESCO World Heritage Center on the island of Gardsoy which showcases how highly prized eider down is harvested from the local eider ducks by providing little huts for them to build their nests in. On an island south of Bronnoysund, you'll find Torghatten mountain, recognizable by a natural tunnel that runs through the center. According to local lore, the hole is the result of a troll who fired an arrow at a young woman who rejected his advances. As the Troll King threw his hat to protect her, the sun began to rise, turning the hat to stone with a hole in the middle from the arrow. On an optional excursion, you can hike an hour up to the hole in the mountain. Peer through the tunnel and enjoy the view of the surrounding islands. ...

  • Alesund, Norway
After a hearty breakfast on the ship, we'll dock mid-morning at Alesund, a town that spreads out across a string of islands. As we approach the shore, you might notice the distinctive architecture. Every detail of the buildings, from the bright colors to the rounded spires, were inspired by the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in the early 1900s. Almost the entire town received a makeover in the style when it was rebuilt after a major fire in 1904. As you leave the waterfront, you'll enter a fairy-tale town, filled with narrow streets lined with unique houses. Take a walking tour of Alesund's distinctive Art Nouveau architecture, then taste some of the best local beer from a small brewery. You could also venture out of town for a scenic bus tour to Alnes to experience the Saga Islands, see a lighthouse, and hear countless tales of the Vikings. If you don't fill up your camera's memory card with this, snap some impressive photos of the archipelago from the nearby Mount Aksla viewpoint. The 418 steps leading there might look intimidating, but the views are well worth the effort. ...

  • Rosendal, Norway
  • Haugesund, Norway
Journeying south along Norway's west coast, we sail past some of Norway's most famous fjords - none more so than Hardangerfjord. At 111 miles long, it is the second-longest fjord in the country and the fifth-longest in the world. This stunning waterway is one of Norway's finest. Mountain scenery is everywhere you look, with white peaks towering over the fjord and reflecting off the shimmering water below. The region is famous for its apples, used in jams, juice, and award-winning cider, which one food writer described as 'Nordic champagne'. Weather permitting, we may be able to dock at Rosendal or at one of the other picturesque settlements that line the fjord's shores. In the quaint village of Rosendal, the biggest attraction is the 16th-century Baronial manor, famous for its beautiful rose garden and landscaped grounds. We reach Haugesund, the 'Home of the Viking Kings', in the afternoon. The nickname is inspired by sites such as St. Olav's Church, built in 1250 by King Hakon Hakonsson. We also have Haraldshaugen, a national monument reputed to be the first king's burial site. Step back in time to the Viking Age by visiting the fascinating exhibits at Nordvegen History Centre. You can also take a walk with a local artist to learn about glassblowing, architecture, and the local connection to Marilyn Monroe! For a more adventurous and unique perspective on Norway's Viking history, try the Viking Experience by RIB along the beautiful and narrow straits of Norway. ...

  • Kristiansand, Norway
Located on the southern tip of the country, Kristiansand is Norway's fifth-largest city. We aim to be at port from morning to late afternoon, giving us plenty of time to explore. As you walk around Kristiansand, you might notice that the city is built on a uniform grid plan, with several straight roads running from the harbor all the way through the city. These roads are lined with architecture from different eras - evidence of the extensive rebuilding the city underwent after major fires in the 18th and 19th centuries and an attack during World War II. Kristiansand is on a mission to become the most sustainable port in Europe. Find out more about this admirable goal on an optional excursion that includes a visit to Odderoya Island. Here, you can see beautiful views of the ocean and city and visit 18th-century military barracks that have been transformed into creative artist studios running several sustainable initiatives. Kristiansand's 20th-century military past is the focus of an optional excursion to Batterie Vara. Originally built as a German fort in World War II, it features the world's second-largest cannon ever mounted on land. Another optional excursion takes you to the working Lindesnes Lighthouse, which marks Norway's southernmost point. See the beacon that has been guiding seafarers to safety on dark nights since the early 20th century and learn about the site's long history, which goes all the way back to 1656. Back on the ship, we'll end our cruise on a high note with a farewell dinner. Take this chance to swap stories and show photos to your fellow travelers one last time. ...

This marks the end of your trip on the North Cape Line, exploring Norway's coastal cities and villages all the way to the top of the European continent. During the journey, you'll have experienced Norway's varied climate, seen majestic mountains and fjords, and maybe gazed up in awe at the Northern Lights. ...
