A 3-hour walking tour of Bergen covers key historical and cultural landmarks, offering a comprehensive view of the city’s charm. It usually begins with a visit to Bryggen Wharf, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its colourful wooden buildings. Here, you'll explore the narrow wooden alleyways behind Bryggen, getting a deeper sense of the city's history and architecture. Next, you will stop at Bergenhus Fortress, where you'll learn about Hakon's Hall, a royal residence from the 13th century, and the Rosenkrantz Tower, both representing Bergen's medieval and military history. After that, you will continue your way to Bergen Fish Market, where you may even get a chance to taste some local seafood while learning about the city's maritime significance. St. Mary's Church is typically featured, it is Bergen's oldest building dating to the 12th century. The tour often includes a walk around its exterior, where the guide explains its Romanesque architecture and importance during the Hanseatic period. Continuing the tour, you will pass through Torgallmenningen, the central square, where you'll hear about modern-day Bergen and its urban development. This vibrant part of the city showcases a mix of shops, cafes, and the heart of Bergen's social life. Some tours may include or suggest a quick ride up the Floibanen Funicular to Mount Floyen for panoramic views of the city, offering a great opportunity to take in the surrounding fjords and mountains. The tour can be flexible - it can include landmarks / sights on request too, according to one’s interest.
For our intimate fjord cruise Bergen is the ideal place to begin. This beautiful mountain-ringed port is often called the Gateway to the Fjords, and what began as a small village home to King Olav Kyree in the 11th century is now Norway's second largest city. Nestled in Bergen's center is Vagen Bay, the historic core of the city and home to the UNESCO-listed Bryggen quarter made up of charming cobblestone streets and boutique shops. Across from here, you'll find the famous fish market where you can sit down and enjoy fresh and delicious seafood dishes. Once we've welcomed you aboard, meet the Expedition Team - your hosts and guides to the Norwegian fjords. Get acquainted with your new surroundings and enjoy your first meal aboard the ship. We set sail just before midnight, so if you're still up you can watch from the deck as Bergen recedes into the distance. Our course is now set in a southerly direction towards the majestic fjords of Norway.

MS Trollfjord
The ship is named after the spectacular Trollfjord in Lofoten. Inside she provides spectacular comfort, modern facilities and interior design that makes extensive use of Norwegian wood and stone. The art exhibited aboard ship includes original paintings that were once on board the old Hurtigruten ship, MS Harald Jarl. MS Trollfjord's sun deck and hot tub are on deck 9. The ship's spacious, two-storey panorama lounge is above the bow. Its wall-to-wall windows bathe the lounge in natural light and provide extraordinary views.
Sailing into the Kvinnheradsfjord, a branch of the great Hardangerfjord, feels like entering a world carved by time itself. The fjord's steep mountainsides, shaped by ancient glaciers, rise in sheer walls of green and grey, their slopes veined with waterfalls that plunge straight to the sea. Once an important route for farmers and traders, these deep waters still carry the quiet rhythm of coastal life. At its heart lies Rosendal, a beatific village framed by orchards and the white peaks of the Folgefonna Glacier. Here, history lingers in the 17th-century Barony Rosendal, Norway's only manor house of its kind, surrounded by serene gardens. You can stroll through these historic grounds, visit local art galleries, or enjoy coffee and home-baked treats in the garden cafe. Nearby, the Folgefonna National Park Center reveals the story of the region's ice, rock and natural formations. Please note: This is an explorer voyage, designed with the freedom to embrace scenic sailing. To give you the best possible experience, the Captain may adjust the route or the order of fjord visits in response to weather and light conditions.

The day today belongs to the Lysefjord, one of Norway's most dramatic waterways. Towering cliffs rise more than 3,000ft (1,000m) above the sea, and from the deck you may glimpse Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock - a sheer plateau that has become an icon of Norway's wild beauty. The fjord's name, meaning "fjord of light", reflects the pale granite walls that gleam in shifting weather, shaped by ice and time. Later, we arrive in Stavanger, a lively coastal city where Viking heritage meets modern energy. The Old Town's white wooden houses line cobbled streets filled with cafés and galleries, while the waterfront offers museums, seafood restaurants and space to wander. As it's a weekday, this is an opportunity to browse the shops for souvenirs such as Norwegian design, wool sweaters and local crafts. Just offshore lies Flor og Fjaere, a small island garden of subtropical blooms and even palm trees - an unexpected oasis in Norway's otherwise rugged coastal world.

Today we sail into the magnificent Hardangerfjord, often called the Queen of the Fjords, which stretches 100 miles (179 km). Its broad waters reach deep into the mountains, where glaciers glint above orchards and villages cling to the slopes. In spring, fruit trees burst into blossom while snow still crowns the peaks, and in autumn the ripe fruits hang from the boughs ready for harvest - a vision of Norway at its most poetic. It's no surprise that so many artists and painters have come to find inspiration here over the centuries - one of the most famous paintings being the Bridal Procession on the Hardangerfjord, by Hans Gude and Adolph Tidemand. At the fjord's innermost reach lies Eidfjord, a tranquil village surrounded by sheer cliffs and tumbling rivers. Here, nature and culture intertwine; you might visit the Hardangervidda Nature Centre, a gateway to Norway's largest mountain plateau, or take an excursion to the mighty Voringsfossen waterfall, which empties dramatically into a mist-shrouded gorge. The area's deep valleys tell stories of farmers, fishermen and generations shaped by the fjord.

Sailing into the Sognefjord is like following a silver thread into the very heart of the country. Known as the King of the Fjords, it stretches over 120 miles (200 km) inland - so deep that by the time you reach its end you are almost in the middle of Norway. Towering cliffs rise above still waters, their faces etched by glaciers and dotted with the remnants of abandoned farms and homesteads. These ruins bear silent witness to the generations who once carved a hard living from these steep slopes. At the fjord's innermost point lies Skjolden, a tranquil village framed by waterfalls and snow-capped peaks. This was once a retreat for philosophers and artists seeking solitude, including the scholar Ludwig Wittgenstein. From Skjolden, you can explore the mighty Jostedalsbreen Glacier - mainland Europe's largest - or follow scenic trails through valleys and flowered meadows that lead toward ancient farmsteads. A little farther along the fjord stands the UNESCO-listed Urnes Stave Church, Norway's oldest, its wooden carvings blending Viking artistry with Christian symbolism. Standing before its weathered timbers, surrounded by mountains, you sense the deep continuity of life along these shores, where faith, craftsmanship and landscape have been intertwined for nearly a thousand years.

Arriving in Alesund, you'll find one of Norway's most beautiful and distinctive coastal cities. Rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1904, Alesund rose again in the graceful curves and pastel hues of Art Nouveau architecture - turrets, towers and floral details reflected in the surrounding waters. The town's setting is just as striking: a cluster of islands framed by mountains and sea, with views that unfold in every direction. Wander the cobbled streets and waterfront cafes or visit the Jugendstilsenteret Museum to learn how European design movements shaped this northern gem. For a sweeping panorama, climb the steps to Mount Aksla, where the city's intricate plan and the Sunnmore Alps reveal themselves below. If time allows sample local seafood or browse small boutiques selling Norwegian crafts.

The approach to Nordfjord is among the most scenic in Norway. Stretching over 60 miles (100 km) inland, it links the open sea to glacier-carved valleys and mirror-bright lakes. The fjord's sheltered waters once carried Viking ships and trading vessels; today, it reveals a gentler rhythm of life where red boathouses, pastures and forested slopes line the shore. Steep mountains rise abruptly from the water, their tops dusted with snow well into spring, while waterfalls descend in silver threads from high plateaus. At the fjord's innermost reach lies Olden, a peaceful village framed by the turquoise waters of the Oldeelva River and the mighty Jostedalsbreen Glacier, the largest on mainland Europe. From here, you can take excursions into the valley, visiting glacial lakes and viewpoints where ice, rock and meadow meet. Whether you wander the waterfront or join an excursion inland, Olden captures the stillness and splendor of Norway's inner heart.
