Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Bergen
Depart 18:00
Bergen, Norway's charming coastal city and historic trading hub, is known for its picturesque Bryggen Wharf and rich maritime heritage. Must-do experiences include sampling local delicacies at the vibrant Fish Market and exploring the medieval Hanseatic quarter. The best season to visit is during the summer months, when the city's lively atmosphere and stunning fjord landscapes are at their peak.
Day 2
Day 2
Alesund
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 3
Day 3
Geiranger
Geiranger, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its breathtaking fjord and charming village. Must-do experiences include sampling local delicacies like rakfisk and exploring the stunning landscapes of nearby Alesund and Balestrand.

May through September offers long Nordic days and the best conditions for fjord exploration.

Day 5
Skudeneshavn
Skudeneshavn on Norway's Karmøy island is one of Europe's best-preserved wooden house towns, with over 130 white-painted timber buildings from the herring boom era of the 1800s.

June through August offers warm weather, long days, and the annual traditional wooden boat festival.
Day 5
Day 5
Lysefjord
Lysefjord is a forty-two-kilometer glacial fjord in southwestern Norway, home to the iconic Pulpit Rock and the vertiginous Kjeragbolten.
