About the trip

This cruise sets out from London Tilbury for sixteen nights aboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition, calling at Norwegian ports from Alesund to Molde. Alesund’s art nouveau architecture is a quieter alternative to the usual fjord towns, followed by Trondheim, where the Nidaros Cathedral stands as the country’s northernmost medieval church.

Further north, Tromso and Alta offer an Arctic tone, towns known for the northern lights, though these winter months bring short days and long nights. Narvik, above the Arctic Circle, is a gateway to history and fjord scenery. The cruise also sails the Romsdalsfjord, allowing time to watch sharp peaks and waterfalls slip past the deck.

The route returns south, including Andalsnes and Molde before crossing the North Sea back to London Tilbury. The Ambition is small enough to handle fjord waters with ease, and the overall pace allows for several days at sea and nights in port, without feeling rushed or sprawling. It is a winter cruise leaning into the cold light, with the chance of spotting the aurora from quieter northern settlements.
