Itineraries

Day 2
At Sea
Day 3
Stavanger, Norway
Stavanger is the epitome of charm: a characterful mix of ancient houses and modern architecture that offers an ever-present nod to the past. In the city’s oldest neighbourhood of Gamle Stavanger 18th Century wooden buildings still dominate the streets, while the Canning Museum (Norsk Hermetikkmuseum) and Stavanger Museum offer an enriching glimpse into Stavanger’s maritime history. Those seeking a postcard-worthy view should aim for The Guards’ Museum in Valbergtårnet (Valberg Tower) - the highest point in Gamle Stavanger - and if you’re a fan of Gothic architecture the exquisite craftsmanship of The Anglo-Norman Stavanger Cathedral will no doubt delight.
Day 4
Skjolden, Norway
Skjolden is a serene village nestled among mountains. You’ll arrive there via Sognefjord, the world’s longest navigable fjord, putting you at the heart of Norway’s majestic scenery.
Skjolden itself actually sits within the Lusterfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord, and your arrival is truly mesmerising. Forested slopes lead down towards the still waters, summer meadows and fruit-bearing farmlands extend from their edge in patchworks of brilliant green, made so vibrant by the melt water of two glaciers. These are Nigardsbreen, which resembles a river frozen in full flow, and Jostedalbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe.
Day 4
Lustrafjorden, Norway
Sailing along the glasslike waters of Lustrafjorden brings an opportunity to relax. Breathe in. Take a step back from real-life and simply bask in the serene scenery.
Lustrafjorden is a branch off Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway. Sognefjord runs more than 125 miles inland and offers acres of stunning landscape destined to fill your camera roll. Find a spot on deck and watch the world go by, pondering the lives and culture of the local people, the history of the region, and the abounding wildlife that calls this part of the world home.
Day 4
Sognefjord, Norway
Cairns, in tropical Far North Queensland, serves as a laid-back gateway to the magnificent Great Barrier Reef – a haven for snorkelling and diving amidst vibrant marine life and coral. This outdoors enthusiast's paradise boasts two World Heritage sites: the reef and Daintree National Park. Cairns' cruise port, adjacent to the lively city centre, provides seamless access to shopping, dining, the Great Barrier Reef, and World Heritage Tropical Rainforests.
Day 5
Olden, Norway
Just a short walk to the sleepy village on Norway’s Nordfjord, the tender port of Olden is where you will first lay eyes on Olden’s sweeping turquoise landscape and the extraordinary views that accompany it.
A gateway to the glaciers, guests from near and far travel to Olden each year to explore its rugged coastline, hilly highland, and fascinating fjords. Raw wilderness made accessible, it’s no wonder so many guests embark on the journey to discover the impressive spectrum of offerings available.
Day 5
Innvikfjorden, Norway
Earning its unofficial title of ‘Mother Nature’s Wonderland’, Innvikfjorden is one of the best-known fjords in Norway. Gently stretching across 4.5 kilometres, a cruise through these tranquil waterways on a Cunard Queen offers a constant stream of scenic views to admire. Where you choose to enjoy them is up to you. Perhaps in the private sanctuary of your stateroom’s balcony, or settled in a steamer chair while enjoying a drink on deck?
Either way, you’ll bear witness to a shoreline peppered with picturesque villages and farmsteads, scattered among sprawling hills. Breathe in the crisp clean air and lose yourself in the natural wonders of this unforgettable region.
Day 5
Nordfjord, Norway
Sailing offers by the far the best way to appreciate the scale and majesty of this ancient region, where the palette of blues, greys, and greens are occasionally punctuated by an ambitious hiker, or a wild pony grazing at the Fjord’s edge. Selected branches of the Nordfjord even resemble a tropical paradise, with near-transparent waters fringing beaches composed entirely of pure white sand.
Whether you choose to admire these passing views while strolling your ship’s deck or tucked under a blanket in the privacy of your stateroom’s balcony, your sail-by of the Nordfjord is guaranteed to deliver some of the most memorable scenery you’ll experience on your Norway cruise.
Day 6
Haugesund, Norway
Haugesund stands proudly on Norway’s southwest shore, where the icy fjords flow out into the North Sea. Breathtaking scenery and world-class views are the main ingredients of this dramatic coastline.
Sheer cliffs and rolling meadows adorn the silent inlets of Haugesund, while nearby you’ll find striking rock formations and experience the thunder of tall waterfalls.
The part of the country in which Haugesund stands was a region of great importance during the Viking Age, and even lent its name to the country itself. The shipping lane offshore was known as the North Way, which shortened over time to Norway. It’s also renowned as the site where Norway's first king, Harald Fairhair, united the nation and was later buried.
