About the trip

This nine-night cruise on Fred. Olsen’s Borealis sets off from Southampton with a day at sea before entering Norway’s fjord country. The route passes along Norway’s two longest fjords, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord, taking in waterfalls like Furebergsfossen and giving repeated chances to watch steep-sided inlets from the deck.

There are calls at small ports such as Eidfjord, Olden and Bergen, notable for its wooden harbourfront and its role as a gateway to the fjords. Skjolden lies deep inland on the Lustrafjord, offering access to glacier tours or rides on the nearby Loen Skylift. The contrast between the open sea and Norway’s narrow, glacial-carved fjords can make for a steady rhythm of both relaxed cruising and short onshore excursions.

The ship retraces some of the same waters on the return, providing another opportunity to take in places often seen only fleetingly on other routes. It concludes back in Southampton after nearly ten days, following a full spell at sea northbound and southbound alike.
