Fjords Of Norway

From powerful geysers and crashing waterfalls to soaring puffins and mesmerising Arctic foxes, you are never far away from an unforgettable moment when you head to the spellbinding Fjords of Norway. Here captivating days at sea spent sailing serenely through glimmering fjords, past remote towns, are perfectly complemented with€tive days spent exploring ashore. Without doubt, a cruise is the best way to experience the other-worldly setting of Norways coast and fjords, which are a delight from spring to autumn. Receding snows are replaced by apple blossom, giving way to lush green hills and deep blue waters beneath the towering peaks. Since the inception of our Cruise Walk programme, Norway has consistently proven our most popular destination.
