Norway & Northern Europe Cruises

Mirror-calm fjords, mountain villages and endless summer daylight

Norway's west coast is cut by fjords so deep and narrow that sailing into one feels like entering a cathedral of rock. Waterfalls pour off the cliffs, farms cling to ledges, and small harbor towns wait at the end. Northern Europe cruises can also add Copenhagen, Stockholm, Iceland or the British Isles for a cooler, quieter alternative to the Mediterranean.

Why cruise to Norway & Northern Europe?

  • World Heritage scenery

    Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord are both UNESCO-listed — expect slow, spectacular scenic cruising.

  • Hikes with a view

    From Stavanger, hike to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock); from Olden, visit the Briksdal glacier arm.

  • Hanseatic Bergen

    Colorful Bryggen wharf, a fish market and a funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen.

  • Long light

    Summer days are long and northern sailings can reach the midnight sun near the solstice.

  • Aurora voyages

    Autumn and winter sailings to northern Norway offer a chance to see the northern lights.

Who sails to Norway & Northern Europe

Questions about Norway & Northern Europe cruises

What should I pack?

Layers and a waterproof jacket. Summer temperatures are usually in the 50s and 60s °F, and weather in the fjords changes quickly.

Is Norway expensive to visit on a cruise?

Prices ashore are high, so a cruise helps — meals and accommodation are covered. Budget a little extra for excursions and the occasional coffee.

Do I need a passport?

Yes. Most Northern European ports are in the Schengen area; your passport should have at least six months' validity.
