Highlights
Ålesund’s Art Nouveau architecture and island views
Two days cruising Sognefjord and Aurlandsfjord
Flåm with its steep mountains and fjord-side railway
Austefjorden’s narrower, less-visited fjord arm
Bryggen wharves of Bergen and Hanseatic heritage
This eight-night cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sets off from Newcastle Tyne before calling at Ålesund, a town rightly noted for its unusual Art Nouveau architecture and views over islands and fjords alike. After Måløy, a fishing port on Norway’s western coast, the ship heads to Flåm, where a railway clings to steep mountainsides beside the Aurlandsfjord.
Journeys
Eight days aboard Ambassador's Ambition, tracing a route from Newcastle through Norway’s lesser-known fjords and ports including Ålesund, Måløy and Bergen, with time cruising the Sognefjord and Aurlandsfjord.
Two days are spent cruising the Sognefjord and Aurlandsfjord, Norway’s longest and second-longest fjords, named after the waterways threading past villages, cliffs and waterfalls you can sometimes hear from the deck. Ambition slips into Austefjorden, off the main Sognefjord, a narrower arm less visited by larger ships.
The itinerary returns via Bergen, whose wooden Bryggen wharves are reminders of its Hanseatic past, then calls at Haugesund before retracing north to Newcastle. The pace allows for more time on the water than on land, which some travellers will appreciate for the chance of long views and quiet moments aboard a ship with moderate passenger numbers.
