Norwegian Fjords

Norwegian Fjords Cruises

Spend lazy days weaving through still, inky waters surrounded by fir forests and steep, rocky cliffs on our spectacular dedicated fjords cruises.

Thinking of setting sail on a Norwegian fjords cruise? Journey through the fjords of Western Norway to discover dramatic cliffs that tower above deep waters permeated by Ice Age glaciers. Complete with powerful waterfalls, charming, sparsely populated villages and enchanting green countryside, it's not surprising that this stunning part of the world is famed for its incredible landscapes.

Our Norwegian Fjord cruises provide the chance to discover the very best of Western Norway's mesmerising scenery, with the opportunity to view stunning vistas that are only ever visible by boat cruise only. Witness the profound beauty of the Briksdal Glacier, whale watch and explore rich Viking history. Make your way along Sognefjord, the world’s largest and deepest fjord, in one of the most enigmatic parts of Norway. Marvel at the dramatic cliffs of UNESCO-listed Naeroyfjord, and take in the spectacular scenery of Hardangerfjord, another of the world's longest fjords. With winter cruises also available, a visit to the breathtaking Norwegian fjords is an incredible experience at any time of year.

Many of our cruises of the Norwegian Fjords include a visit to Lysefjord, a 42-kilometre long fjord that is home to the awe-inspiring Pulpit Rock, a flat-topped cliff that rises 602 metres from the sea and has become a favourite photo destination for visitors to the region. Elsewhere, the stunning unspoilt landscapes of Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, delights with its snow-topped peaks, imposing waterfalls, lush greenery and now forgotten traditional farmsteads.
