Itinerary

Bremerhaven

Casting off: 18:00

Bremerhaven is located on the Elbe-Weser triangle, which merges into the North Sea, making the city the gateway to the North Sea, so to speak. Especially for the inquisitive, Bremerhaven has a lot to offer: the Klimahaus, the German Maritime Museum and the German Emigration House. All these sites offer knowledge about many different topics, so everyone will find what they are looking for.

Embarkation 15:00 to 17:00.

Day 2

Recreation at sea.

Bergen

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 17:00

Bergen combines 900 years of history with the youthful ambience of a student city. With its seven mountains, bays and peninsulas, Bergen was once a center of the Hanseatic League. Traces of this past can still be found today - most clearly in the old merchants' quarter of Bryggen, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you walk on planks through the labyrinth of narrowly built counting houses and warehouses with their beams and cornices.

Geiranger

Mooring: 09:00 Casting off: 18:00

The way to the enchanting Norwegian town of Geiranger leads you through the 15-kilometer-long, legendary Geirangerfjord. Cascades of water cascade down from vertically sloping walls, billowing veils of mist form on the cliffs and mighty mountains tower up on both shores - you will never forget this unique natural experience!

Kristiansund

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 14:00

Colorful houses exude Norwegian flair in Kristiansund! The historically significant harbor town stretches over four islands and was rebuilt after a devastating bombing raid in 1941, so that today it shines again in full splendor.

Leknes (Lofoten)

Mooring: 14:00 Casting off: 22:00

Gently rolling hills, impressively high mountains, deep forests, raging rivers and tranquil mountain lakes characterize the landscapes in Lofoten. Does the scent of fresh cod rise to your nostrils? Then you have arrived in tranquil Leknes! The cod is hung out to dry in front of the rorbuer, red-washed wooden huts.

Early morning crossing of the Arctic Circle.

Honningsvåg (Nordkap)

Welcome to the gateway to the North Cape! The North Cape Road takes you from Honningsvåg through a barren, incomparably impressive tundra landscape to the famous slate plateau. Enjoy the unforgettable views and keep an eye out for wild reindeer.

Midnight at the North Cape.

Honningsvåg (Nordkap)

Mooring: 01:00 Casting off: 22:00

Cruising the North Cape.

Tromsø

Mooring: 12:00 Casting off: 22:00

Colorful wooden houses exude a unique, Norwegian flair in the historic city center of Tromsø. Be enchanted and marvel at the imposing Ice Sea Cathedral with its eye-catching pointed roof that reaches almost to the ground and the high stained glass windows.

Day 10

Recreation at sea.

Trondheim

Mooring: 12:00 Casting off: 22:00

In Trondheim, the imposing Nidaros Cathedral commemorates the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, who founded the picturesque port city thousands of years ago. Stroll through Bakklandet, the cozy old town of the Norwegian city, and enjoy culinary delights in the charming cafés.

Ålesund

Mooring: 11:00 Casting off: 19:00

After a great fire at the beginning of the 20th century, the city center had to be almost completely restored. This reconstruction created a beautiful city center, which is fully characterized by Art Nouveau.

Stavanger

Mooring: 15:00 Casting off: 23:00

Stavanger is one of the oldest cities in Norway. The beautiful town lies on the Byfjord, an arm of the Stavangerfjord in the southwest of Norway. Wander through the cobbled streets of the old town of Gamle Stavanger, past the white wooden houses. The famous Preikestolen is also not far away.
