About the trip
This nine-night cruise from Liverpool traces a classic Norwegian fjord route aboard Fred. Olsen’s Borealis. After leaving the Mersey, the ship spends two days at sea before reaching Ålesund, a town known for its early 20th-century Art Nouveau architecture and the steep climb up Mount Aksla, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding islands and harbour.
Further north, the ship calls at Nordfjordeid, a peaceful town at the end of Norway’s Nordfjord. The next days include several scenic cruises through Nordfjord, Lustrafjord, and Sognefjord. Among these waters are glimpses of towering peaks and glaciers from Jotunheimen National Park, a favourite spot for walkers and those interested in the region’s geology.
The voyage finishes in Bergen, once a Hanseatic port and still home to a cluster of colourful wooden buildings on the old wharf, Bryggen. Between fjords and towns, this cruise offers a quiet way to absorb Norway’s scenery, with the ship small enough to slip into fjord narrows and fjord-side harbours that larger vessels must pass by.
