Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Wednesday - May 15, 2024

Bergen, Norway

Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Bergen is home to the Hanseatic League's only kontor (trading enclave) still in existence. Bryggen wharf, a row of timbered Hanseatic warehouses along a quaint quay, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow wooden walkways are flanked by parallel rows of small, vibrantly painted buildings overlooking the picturesque Vagen Harbor. This is perhaps the most charming district of Bergen and a delight to explore, from its tight-knit community of workshops, where artisans sell their wares, to its cafes, where freshly prepared smorbrod, or open-faced sandwiches, are on the menu.

Day 2 - Thursday - May 16, 2024

Bergen, Norway

Bergen, an ancient city with deep Viking roots, is nestled between gargantuan snowcapped mountains, magnificent fjords, and one of Europe's largest glaciers. Founded in 1070 on what was a Viking settlement, Bergen is the second-largest city in Norway. Not to be missed is a stroll through the Fisketorget, where the fresh catch of the sea awaits-from cod and prawns to local caviar and icy oysters.

Day 3 - Friday - May 17, 2024

Geiranger, Norway

Geiranger is the gateway to some of coastal Norway's most magnificent natural treasures. Nearby, the Seven Sisters Waterfall tumbles 1,000 feet into the fjord's water, while directly across the fjord, the Suitor Waterfall also plunges down a steep face. The overlook known as Eagle's Bend towers 2,000 feet above the village, accessed via a winding mountain road with 11 hairpin turns. The Norwegian Fjord Center puts all this natural splendor into perspective with fascinating exhibits.

Day 4 - Saturday - May 18, 2024

Cruising the Norwegian Sea

Journey to what was once believed to be the "end of the world", where sea monsters lurked and ships were lost on treacherous waters. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center.

Day 5 - Sunday - May 19, 2024

Leknes, Norway

The Lofoten Islands stretch 118 miles into the Norwegian Sea from Norway's coast. Ships in the archipelago's cozy fishing harbors are dwarfed by the hulking massifs rising from the waters. The setting was ideal for Norse settlements in the early Viking Age. Cod has long been harvested from these waters as they come here to spawn. More recently, the fish have been caught from traditional rorbus, charming cottages that hover above the waters on stilts. The Lofoten Islands are beautiful any time of year, but the summertime midnight sun illuminates their magnificent glory.

Day 6 - Monday - May 20, 2024

Tromso, Norway

Tromso is Norway's most northerly city and has long been considered the gateway to the Arctic. During the summer months, pretty wooden houses exude an air of sophistication as they bask beneath the glow of the Midnight Sun. Winter brings pristine landscapes surrounded by snowcapped peaks and the aurora borealis, whose magical lights dance across the nighttime skies. World-renowned explorers have set sail from Tromso's shores. Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to reach both poles, is commemorated with a bronze statue in the city.

Day 7 - Tuesday - May 21, 2024

Honningsvag, Norway

Honningsvag overlooks a pristine bay of the Barents Sea on Mageroya Island. This unassuming enclave grew mainly on the fishing industry, like so many in this remote region. Honningsvag has ample charms, including a rich Sami culture and a deep love of the birdlife that lives here. But it is the surrounding beauty that draws visitors: starkly beautiful tundra dotted with mountain birch trees, distant rocky islands, and rolling slopes that ascend into mountains. One of Europe's most stunning natural sights, Nordkapp, or North Cape, rises on the island's rugged northern coast.

Day 8 - Wednesday - May 22, 2024

Cruising the Norwegian Sea

Day 9 - Thursday - May 23, 2024

Cruising the Norwegian Sea

The Norwegian Sea is known for the bounty of seafood it has provided since medieval times. Norwegians still catch cod here and serve it fresh and flaky-far more delicious than the dried and preserved fish made by their ancestors. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center.

Day 10 - Friday - May 24, 2024

Lerwick, United Kingdom

The Shetland Islands may be remote, but history did not overlook them. At the excavation site of Jarlshof, tall, stone roundhouses date to the Iron Age and an ancient Norse longhouse tells of a Viking community. More recent history echoes through the streets of Lerwick, the islands' sleepy capital founded by Dutch fishermen. The main island, Mainland, gets much of its beauty from its diversity. Farmlands and dreamy meadows unfold toward seal-dotted beaches, rocky cliffs take a beating from the surf, and medieval castles overlook valleys and lakes.

Day 11 - Saturday - May 25, 2024

Kirkwall, Scotland

The history of the Scottish Orkney Islands dates back millennia. Neolithic remains, including the ancient site of Brodgar, predate Stonehenge and the Pyramids. The 13th-century Norse Orkneyinga Saga told of Vikings who ruled here. Later, the earls took over, and the French Renaissance palace that remains is a legacy to their grandeur. Another castle, Balfour, stands regally in a stark landscape. While the northern Europeans greatly influenced this hauntingly beautiful archipelago, consider the Italian Chapel, built by the hands of Italian prisoners during wartime.

Day 12 - Sunday - May 26, 2024

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Edinburgh has been Scotland's capital since the 15th century, despite the fact that the Union of the Crowns moved it to London in 1603. There is no capital quite like Edinburgh, with its gorgeous setting on green rocky hillocks and splendid views of the sea. Edinburgh Castle, home of the Scottish Crown Jewels and countless medieval treasures, overlooks the city from Castle Rock. The Royal Mile unfurls Edinburgh's architectural gems in all their finery, from the Canongate to St. Giles' Cathedral to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Scottish residence of British royalty.

Day 13 - Monday - May 27, 2024

Cruising the North Sea

Cross the North Sea, where Vikings sailed as they established colonies on Scottish islands, coastal France, and beyond. As you sail, take advantage of the array of delicious cuisine offered onboard. You may visit Mamsen's, a casual gourmet deli, anytime from early morning to late at night for a taste of traditional Norwegian fare. Or, dine at Manfredi's and savor an authentic Italian meal, with options ranging from Milanese risotto to Tuscany-inspired classics.

Day 14 - Tuesday - May 28, 2024

Greenwich, United Kingdom

Greenwich, a borough of London, is home to the Royal Observatory. From here, the world's longitude is measured from the prime meridian, and Greenwich Mean Time sets the global time standard. At the port, the clipper ship Cutty Sark, one of Greenwich's renowned historic landmarks, is preserved as a fascinating museum. Upriver, London is home to Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. In addition, this major economic and cultural hub boasts a long tradition of arts and architectural innovation-from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to West End musicals.

Day 15 - Wednesday - May 29, 2024

Greenwich, United Kingdom

Greenwich is home to several iconic maritime institutions. Royal Naval College is a major symbol of Britain's seafaring heritage and the architectural centerpiece of Greenwich. It opened as a hospital for sailors in 1712 and served as the Royal Navy's educational institution from 1873 to 1998. Today, its hallowed halls whisper of the days when Britannia ruled the waves. The National Maritime Museum is the world's largest, chronicling England's seafaring endeavors in its compelling collection of art, maps, and countless memorabilia, including the first marine chronometer. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home.
