Welcome to Norway! Your 10-day adventure exploring the country's far north and beautiful coast starts in the cool, chic capital, Oslo. This walkable city has something for everyone: world-famous art, award-winning architecture, and museums that cover everything from Polar exploration to Nobel Peace Prize winners. There's great shopping, floating saunas, and an array of parks, too. Make your way to your hotel. It's centrally located, so if you have time to stretch your legs before dinner, there's plenty to see nearby. Later, meet your tour manager and get to know your travel companions over a welcome dinner in the hotel. ... Read More
Fill up with breakfast in your hotel in preparation for a 4-hour guided tour of Oslo. Your local, English-speaking guide will show you some of the city's most famous sights from the comfort of a private coach. Highlights include the striking Oslo Opera House on the edge of the Oslofjord, and Holmenkollen Ski Museum and jump, in the hills behind the city. The views across Oslo and the island-peppered fjord beyond are as special as the attractions themselves. You'll also visit Vigeland Sculpture Park, home to more than 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. Look out for The Angry Boy - a bronze-cast statue of a chubby child with pure frustration etched in every fold of his clenched fists and stamping feet. The rest of the day is yours to explore the rest of the city. ... Read More
After breakfast, it's time to check out of your hotel and transfer to Oslo Airport for your flight north. You'll fly the length of Norway's mainland to Kirkenes, traveling from around 60 degrees north to 70 degrees north. Here, you're approximately 250 miles (400 kilometers) within the Arctic Circle and on the very edge of Norway. This Arctic town is a place of adventures in wild landscapes, with a surprising blend of cultures. You're about 7 miles from the border with Russia - an influence you'll notice in the bilingual road signs. You'll be transferred to your hotel where you can get a good night's sleep ahead of a fun-filled day tomorrow. ... Read More

Harstad, Norway
Stokmarknes, Norway
Cruising Trollfjord
Svolvaer, Norway

Today, you'll sail the archipelagos of Lofoten and Vesteralen, undisputed highlights of Norway's coast. In the morning, your ship stops briefly at Harstad, home to Trondenes, the world's northernmost medieval stone church. From here, the landscape shifts gear from gentle hills to towering mountains as you sail to Stokmarknes, birthplace of the Coastal Express. It's the perfect place to jump into Norway's maritime heritage. At Hurtigrutemuseet, you can step on board MS Finnmarken from 1956, preserved like a ship in a bottle. Sailing along Raftsund from Vesteralen to Lofoten, your captain might detour into tiny Trollfjord, where the soaring mountain walls feel almost close enough to touch. In the evening, stroll the streets of Svolvaer, gateway to the Lofoten Islands. Or join an optional excursion and trot along a white-sand beach on an Icelandic horse, meet the owner of the archipelago's only craft brewery, or go in search of sea eagles on a RIB. Fall into bed after you've sailed past Stamsund and the vast granite cliffs of the Lofoten Wall. ... Read More

Day 7
Sandnessjoen, Norway
Bronnoysund, Norway
Your ship crosses the Arctic Circle just after breakfast. Mark the moment with a taste of traditional Norwegian cod liver oil. Sandnessjoen is the gateway to the magnificent Helgeland Coast. Ever wondered where your eiderdown quilt comes from? Join the optional excursion into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Vega archipelago to find out. Be on the viewing deck as you cruise past the magnificent Seven Sisters mountain range. According to legend, seven beautiful troll princesses fleeing from an unwanted suitor got caught out as the sun rose, transforming into the seven beautiful peaks. Step off your ship in Bronnoysund to see the bustling marina and the Neo-Gothic-style Bronnoy Church. Or join an optional excursion and hike through the cathedral-like hole running through the center of famous Torghatten mountain. Back onboard, don't miss views of Torghatten from the sea - your Expedition Team will tell you the troll story associated with it. ... Read More
Your day begins in Trondheim, as the city wakes. See sacred Nidaros Cathedral, resting place of St. Olav, then stroll across Gamle Bybro bridge to the trendy Bakklandet district. Take your pick from the chic cafes serving coffee and pastries - try a traditional Norwegian boller (bun) - and walk up to Kristiansten Fort for unforgettable views of Norway's third-largest city. Later this afternoon, you'll dock at Kristiansund, known as Norway's 'bacalao capital' for the salted cod - klippfisk - that's dried on the surrounding cliffs. Wander the old town's cobblestone streets, tour the lively port, and head up to the old watchtower at Varden viewpoint for a panorama of the three islands that make up the city. To reach Molde, the last port of the day, hop back onboard or swap the ship for the swooping bridges of the Atlantic Road. You'll drive along the route that has featured in countless car ads and action movies, as well as visit a stave church and sample bacalao, a hearty stew made from klippfisk. Molde is famous for its skyline of 222 peaks. If you're here in July and August, you'll soon see why the town is nicknamed 'The City of Roses'. ... Read More
Before your coastal cruise comes to an end later today, soak up some of the views that put the Norwegian fjords at the top of so many travel bucket lists. Make sure you're awake in time to catch a glimpse of Nordfjord snaking towards mainland Europe's largest glacier, majestic Jostedal, shortly after Maloy. As you depart Floro, look out for Stabben Lighthouse, a favorite with photographers. And keep your camera close as you cruise across the mouth of Sognefjord (Norway's longest and widest fjord) and through the islands and skerries of Hjeltefjord on the approach to the fjord city of Bergen, the final stop of your voyage along Norway's coast. It's time to say farewell to the ship but your Norwegian adventure isn't over yet. It's time for a private motorcoach tour of Bergen's highlights, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed wharf, Bryggen, and the colorful fish markets. Afterwards, check into your centrally located hotel. There's still time to explore Bergen independently. Don't miss the funicular railway up Mount Floyen - the incredible view across the city and out to sea is the perfect finale to your Enchanting Edges of Norway tour. ... Read More
