About the trip
Fred. Olsen’s Borealis sets sail from Southampton for eight nights along the Norwegian fjords, a route suited to smaller ships that can navigate narrow waters. The itinerary includes Stavanger, a city known for its wooden houses and oil industry roots, followed by Eidfjord, tucked at the end of its fjord and gateway to the Hardangerfjord.
The cruise takes a scenic turn with a detour into Maurangerfjord to see Fureberg Waterfall, whose roar carries to the ship’s deck on calm days. Bergen is on the list too, with its UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf and busy fish market. New to the line is Nordfjordeid, a small town whose landscapes invite the local Norwegian tradition of friluftsliv, or outdoor life.
Having crossed the northern fjord regions, the ship begins the return, passing Nordfjord’s shores and spending two days at sea before retracing to Southampton. This is a measured pace, more about watching the landscape slip by than rushing between landmarks.
