Classic Scenic Norwegian Fjords
An autumn fjordland adventure, this journey has been planned to show you Norway’s awe-inspiring natural surroundings at a time of year when the landscapes begin to lose their summertime hues and fruits are ready for harvest. You’re in for a wonderfully autumnal experience at Eidfjord; here you’ll be ideally placed to visit a local orchard and sample produce made from its fruit, from apple juice to cider and brandy. See the beauty of Hardangerfjord’s orchard-covered valleys and its mountain peaks from Borealis too.
Experience scenic cruising into Lysefjord, to see its dramatic cliffs, mountains and intriguing rock formations, and along Sognefjord, Norway’s longest fjord, gazing up at the edges and peaks of surrounding forested hills and imposing cliff faces. Before your exploration of Sognefjord, there’s also a visit to Flåm – a chance to go ashore, step on board the famous Flambana Railway and ride into the surrounding mountains to see rock formations and waterfalls up-close. Concluding your time in Norway is a call at Bergen. Ride the Floyen Railway for great views of the city – a ramble with a local is the best way to discover the finest sights, or simply take time to discover highlights such as the Bryggen Wharf at your own pace.
