Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Rotterdam
Depart 15:00
Rotterdam, Europe's largest port, is a city that rebuilt itself from wartime ruin into one of the continent's most exhilarating architectural laboratories — a skyline of Cube Houses, the pencil-thin Westerkade skyscrapers, and the breathtaking Markthal arching over an indoor food market of extraordinary abundance. The Boijmans Van Beuningen collection ranks among Europe's finest, while the art district of Witte de With pulses with galleries and design studios. Day-trip to Kinderdijk's nineteen iconic windmills, a UNESCO World Heritage site rising from the polders just south of the city. Spring and early summer offer the finest conditions.

Day 3
Alesund
Arrive 10:00Depart 22:00
Ålesund, rebuilt in just three years after a catastrophic 1904 fire, rose from its ashes as one of Europe's most remarkable concentrations of Art Nouveau architecture — turrets, dragon motifs, and floral stonework lining a Norwegian fishing town waterfront like an open-air Jugendstil museum. Climb the 418 steps of Aksla hill for a panorama that sweeps across the Art Nouveau rooftops to the surrounding fjords, then descend to sample the town's celebrated fresh Atlantic seafood at the harbor quay. Summer brings the midnight sun; autumn offers moody light and the region's famous apple orchards. The Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO treasure, is an hour's sail away.
Day 4
Day 4
Olden
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Olden is a serene fjord village at the head of Nordfjord in western Norway, where glacial rivers meet emerald waters beneath towering peaks. The essential experience is the journey to Briksdal Glacier, an arm of Europe's largest ice cap, followed by tasting traditional *raspeball* dumplings and cloudberry cream at a local farmstead. The prime visiting season stretches from June through August, when near-endless daylight illuminates the valley and summer temperatures make glacier hikes and fjord kayaking particularly rewarding.
Day 5
Day 5
Haugesund
Arrive 10:00Depart 21:00
Haugesund is a historic Viking-era port town on Norway's southwestern Rogaland coast, where Harald Fairhair—the nation's first king—once held court and now rests beneath the Haraldshaugen monument. Visitors should not miss the elaborate herring table at a waterfront restaurant and the immersive Nordvegen History Centre that brings Viking politics vividly to life. The ideal season to visit is late May through August, when long Nordic daylight hours illuminate the Smedasundet waterfront and nearby fjord excursions to Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord are at their most spectacular.
Day 6
Day 6
Eidfjord
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Eidfjord is a fjord village of fewer than a thousand residents at the innermost tip of Norway's Hardangerfjord, framed by towering peaks and the vast Hardangervidda plateau. Visitors should not miss the 182-metre Vøringsfossen waterfall and the ancient rock carvings at Hæreid, both within easy reach of the waterfront. The prime season stretches from late May through early September, when endless Nordic daylight illuminates the glacial waters and the surrounding Hardanger orchards are in full bloom.
