Norway Cruises

Embrace the Magic of Norway

Norway cruises offer a rich tapestry of bucket-list experiences, where the awe-inspiring Norwegian Fjords, Viking history, and magical Northern Lights all come together to create the big dream-like picture! Nicknamed the Land of the Midnight Sun, it’s one of the very few locations where sunset merges into sunrise, with no darkness in between. 

A haven for culture enthusiasts, Oslo attractions are a mix of museums, green spaces, and eclectic architecture. Bergen, Norway is known as the ‘Gateway to the Fjords’, where you can delight in the breath-taking views of deep blue fjords, including the country’s longest and deepest fjord! And if you’re on the chase for the Northern Lights, Tromso is a popular destination in Norway for a full-on aurora borealis encounter, thanks to its strategic location above the arctic circle right in the middle of the aurora oval. 

Embark on one of our best Norway cruises and be wonderstruck as you sail in style past stunning landscapes, thundering waterfalls, and charming coastal towns – from the best possible vantage point – and uncover a realm of legendary tales and Viking history along the way!

Best Places to Visit in Norway

Flam

Flåm is truly an enchanting place, full to the brim with dramatic landscapes and fascinating history! The picturesque village is idyllically nestled at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord, an arm of the vast Sognefjord which is dubbed the ‘King of Fjords. This cosy cruise port is best explored via the Flåm Railway – described as the “world’s steepest railway” –  which transports passengers on a scenic train journey past the thundering waterfalls and lush valleys with its palpable old-world charm and vintage aesthetic! Fancy a bit of adrenaline? Plunge down the Flåmsdalen, the Flåm valley, on the longest zipline in Northern Europe! And for history buffs, the authentic Viking Village in Gudvangen offers a chance to meet real Vikings.

Oslo

Norway’s vibrant capital has some of the world’s most-visited museums and modern architecture. Many of Oslo’s world-beating museums are located on the Bygdoy Peninsula – the capital’s cultural hotspot – including the Norwegian Maritime Museum and Viking Ship Museum. The Oslo Opera House is one of the most iconic Oslo attractions, boasting a cutting-edge angled, white exterior that looks like an iceberg rising from a fjord. Oslo is also home to the Nobel Peace Centre and holds the Peace Prize ceremonies each year in the City Hall. Whether you want to admire art and architecture or stroll along trendy neighbourhoods, there’s plenty of things to do in Oslo!

Bergen

Stepping into Bergen is a magical experience, where majestic fjords and multi-coloured wooden architecture meet halfway to paint a picture-perfect scenery! Often called the gateway to the Norwegian Fjords for its strategic location in the heart of Fjord Norway, Bergen makes a great jump-off point for exploring both the Hardangerfjord and the Sognefjord. Another major attraction in the coastal city is the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, which is lined with colourful harbour-front houses that look like a beautiful work of art, carved onto the surrounding landscape! 

Tromso

Idyllically situated 217 miles (315 kilometres) north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is a haven for those seeking to get a glimpse of the stunning display of Northern Lights gracing the winter night skies! Apart from Polar Night viewing, Tromsø offers a chance to witness yet another awe-inspiring natural phenomenon – the Midnight Sun. Don’t miss out on soaking up the panoramic city views on board the Fjellheisen cable car that takes passengers to the Storsteinen mountain ledge. Whether you’re in for marvelling at the magnificent light spectacle overhead while dog sledding across the snowy landscapes or experiencing the endless summer days, Tromsø will never go out of style!

Ålesund

Visit the charming port town of Ålesund, where well-preserved Art Nouveau architecture picturesquely blends with the surrounding verdant mountains! Its narrow streets are dotted with ornate, fairytale-like towers topped with turrets, spires and gables that bear decorations of dragonheads and curlicues. As one of the few remaining Art Nouveau towns in the world, Ålesund was awarded the coveted Houens National Memorial Prize in 1998 for the preservation of its unique architecture. Set at the entrance of Geirangerfjord, Ålesund is an excellent starting base to arguably the most famous Norwegian fjord featured in several films like Frozen.

Natural Wonders

Natural Wonders

Norway cruises transport travellers into a world of enchantment, with breath-taking backdrops to leave you in awe as you sail in style all from the comfort of your cruise ship! One of Norway’s most renowned natural wonders are the Norwegian Fjords. It’s home to over 1,7000 monumental fjords formed during the Earth’s last Ice Age. These long, narrow inlets of the sea stretch between mighty sheer cliffs, with rugged rock faces formed by glaciers retreating over thousands of years. Norway’s rugged mountainous scenery is also a sight to behold, wonderfully peppered with dense green Nordic forests and diverse wildlife. 

Besides the mind-boggling fjords and natural landscapes, you’ll also get a chance to witness bucket-list-worthy light displays that strip the winter night skies and experience the never-setting Midnight Sun during summer! On a Norway cruise, you’ll journey to a world of vivid landscapes, punctuated by deep fjords, soaring peaks and cascading waterfalls…

Norway Cruises FAQs

When is the best time to go to Norway?

The best time for a Norway cruise depends on the experiences and activities you wish to do. Summer, which runs from June to August, is a high season for warm weather, longer days, and a chance to experience the Midnight Sun. It’s also the most ideal time for the Norwegian Fjords since the temperatures are most pleasant and the flora are the lushest. Meanwhile, winter is the prime season for Northern Lights hunting and viewing. The best month for viewing the northern lights would be anywhere between late September and late March.

What are the top things to do in Norway?

Norway packs a punch of things to do and see  besides the legendary Norwegian Fjords and Northern Lights, from the fascinating Viking history and Art Nouveau style architecture to stunning natural landscapes and powerful cascades! Visit the world-beating museums and landmarks of the capital, such as the Fram Museum, Viking Ship Museum, the Royal Palace and Oslo Opera House. Ride the scenic train journey in Flam, where you’ll go past mountain tunnels, thundering waterfalls, and catch sight of the ever-changing scenery of the Flam River and Valley. Discover the spiky peaks and quaint fishing villages in Lofoten Islands, a premier spot for bird-watching and chasing the northern lights.

Where is the best place to see northern lights in Norway?

Norway offers no shortage of prime spots for aurora borealis sightings. Tromsø is a popular destination for Northern Lights viewing, thanks to its strategic location above the arctic circle right in the middle of the aurora oval. From September to April, the lively city experiences a polar night, allowing endless opportunities to observe the northern lights. If you wish to take the off-the-beaten track, head further to Svalbard — a remote Norwegian archipelago with a rugged terrain that doesn’t see the sunlight during winter, making it a perfect setting to glimpse at the elusive astronomical wonder! 

Which cruise lines offer Norway cruises?

Norway cruise itineraries often include the quaint coastal cities, fjords, and the North Cape. Its namesake cruise line, Norwegian Cruise Line, offers several cruise itineraries specific to Norway. MSC Cruises often tie popular Norwegian ports with other nearby cities in Europe. For Northern Lights viewing, Cunard Line sails to Tromsø, which is a prime destination in Norway for aurora borealis sightings. Other major cruise lines that offer sailings to Norway are Royal Caribbean International, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Celebrity Cruises.

Where do Norway cruises leave from?

Most Norway cruises usually begin from either Bergen or Oslo. There are also no-fly cruises that begin from various ports in Northern Europe, such as Copenhagen in Denmark, Amsterdam in Netherlands, Hamburg in Germany and Southampton in the United Kingdom.
