About the trip
Setting off from Rosyth, Balmoral heads north to Olden, a small village at the end of the Nordfjord. Its proximity to the Briksdal Glacier brings an opportunity to see the slowly moving ice in late spring, while the nearby town of Loen has a cable car that climbs steeply for views over the fjord.
The next few days are spent cruising three of Norway’s best-known fjords: Nordfjord, Sognefjord, and Lustrafjord, all carved by glaciers and lined with cliffs where waterfalls spill straight into the water. The ship calls at Skjolden, a quiet village where fjord and mountain meet.
Fred. Olsen’s Balmoral is a familiar ship for those who like a steady pace and decent deck space to watch the countryside slipping by. This holiday is a straightforward way to see distinguished fjords during the April bank holiday, with time for longer views rather than rushing ashore at every stop.
