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
Sarande
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Sarandë is Albania's Ionian coast jewel, where the UNESCO-listed Butrint archaeological marvel and the impossibly turquoise Blue Eye spring create a Mediterranean experience rivaling Greece at a fraction of the cost. Visit June via Emerald Yacht Cruises or Virgin Voyages for six-civilization archaeological sites and Albania's exciting Mediterranean frontier.
Day 4
Day 4
Kristiansand
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Kristiansand is Norway's sun-drenched southern gateway, a Renaissance-planned harbour city where white timber houses, island-dotted coastlines, and exceptional seafood — particularly the beloved cold-water shrimp eaten fresh at the Fiskebrygga market — create an atmosphere closer to the Mediterranean than the Arctic. Visitors should not miss wandering the historic Posebyen quarter and sampling *fiskesuppe* by the harbour. The ideal season is June through August, when endless daylight bathes the Skagerrak coast in golden warmth and the outdoor culture of Sørlandet comes fully alive.
Day 5
Day 5
Delphi
Arrive 08:00Depart 15:00
Delphi is the legendary sanctuary of the Oracle, set on a dramatic mountain terrace above the Gulf of Corinth and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors must walk the Sacred Way past the Temple of Apollo and ancient theatre, and see the bronze Charioteer in the superb archaeological museum. Spring and autumn offer the best light and most comfortable temperatures for exploring the site.
Day 6
Day 6
Sognefjord
Sognefjord is Norway's longest and deepest fjord — a 204-kilometer waterway of staggering natural grandeur that includes the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and the legendary Flåm Railway. Must-dos include riding the Flåm Railway through mountain tunnels and past waterfalls, visiting the twelfth-century Urnes Stave Church, and tasting wild Atlantic salmon and fjord-side craft beer. June and July offer midnight sun and warm temperatures, while shoulder months bring quieter conditions.
Day 6
Day 6
Skjolden
Arrive 07:00Depart 15:00
Skjolden sits at the innermost point of Sognefjorden, the world's longest navigable fjord, offering an intimate encounter with Norway's most dramatic landscape of glacier-crowned peaks and thousand-metre granite walls. A visit to Wittgenstein's cabin site above Lake Eidsvatnet and a tasting of traditional *rakfisk* and *brunost* at a local farmstead rank among the essential experiences. The fjord is navigable from May through September, with late June and July delivering the luminous magic of near-endless Arctic daylight.
