Norwegian Fjords Cruises
The Land of the Midnight Sun, Norway with its 24-hour, round-the-clock daylight during the summer attracts all those who delight in dramatic, unspoiled landscapes and pure, unspoilt natural beauty.
Breathe in the healthy invigorating air; enjoy awe-inspiring sunsets and natural scenery plus endless water on a Fjord cruise holiday around Norway. Norway's extensive and rugged coastline faces the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea and is also home to its world famous fjords.
A fjord is a long, narrow estuary with steep sides which is created when the sea floods a glacial valley. It develops when a glacier slices into a U-shaped valley through the abrasion of the surrounding bedrock by the rocks and sediment the glacier carries.
These valleys were formed during the ice ages. The sea was at a much lower level than it is now. At the end of these ice ages, the climate warmed up and the glaciers retreated. Because of an influx of water from melting ice sheets and glaciers, the sea level rose, flooding the vacated valleys with seawater to form fjords.
The Norwegian Fjords are endowed with some of the longest, narrowest, deepest and most beautiful fjords in the world and in Norway there are thousands of them for you to visit and explore on your Fjord cruise.
From the bustling Norwegian port of Bergen on the south-western coast of Norway, and the country's second largest city, all the way up to Tromso in the north and Honningsvaag, the country's most northerly city, you will have the opportunity to discover one beautiful and dramatic port after another on any one of the many Fjord cruises that are now available.
Visits to Norway's unspoiled and quaint towns and cities will punctuate your Fjord cruise. From Bergen's intriguing, busy fish market and charming wooden buildings to Tromso's Arctic cathedral and Stavanger's cobbled lanes, each destination has a special charm of its own. You can enjoy them all on your Fjords cruise.
When you are on your Fjord cruise, why not visit Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord situated on the border between Eastern and Western Norway which lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjord country and extends more than 200 km inland to the national parks of Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen.
Sognefjord has several branches, such as the Aurlandsfjord, the Naeroyfjord (which is on the World Heritage list), the Fjaerlandsfjord and the Lusterfjord.
Known as the Queen of the fjords, the Hardangerfjord, located south east of Bergen, is surrounded by stunning mountains, the majestic Folgefonna glacier, idyllic fjord villages and fragrant orchards and is surely worth a visit on a Fjord cruise.
From idyllic green meadowland, to picture-perfect villages and breath-taking landscapes, a Fjords cruise in Norway is the perfect choice for a relaxing yet unforgettable holiday.
