Five nights round trip from Newcastle Tyne
Ambassador’s Ambition sets out from Newcastle, crossing the North Sea to reach Norway’s fjord country in under two days. The first stop is Ulvik, a small village on the edge of the Hardangerfjord, known for its fruit orchards and the quiet life of fjord-side farms. From here, the ship spends time cruising through the Hardangerfjord itself, where waterfalls can be heard as they spill into the water.
Journeys
Next comes Sandnes, near Stavanger, at the tip of the Boknafjord. It is a working town with links to Norway’s oil industry, but also close to some scenic coastal islands. The ship cruises this fjord on the return journey, offering views of fishermen’s cabins on rocky outcrops and stony shores. The small size of Ambition means it can turn in the fjords without fuss.
The pace suits those who want a brief but open-air introduction to western Norway’s fjords, without long drives or transfers. There is time for walks on shore and daylight cruising in between, finishing back in Newcastle after five nights at sea.
