BERGEN, NORWAY
Our excursion to the Hardangerfjord – one of Norway’s most popular fjords, with beautiful fruit orchards lining the sides and reflections of the magnificent mountains on the crystal clear water – begins at the pier in Bergen, when we board our coach.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
Leaving Amsterdam we drive to the historic city of Delft, famous for its Delft Blue pottery. Old shadowy canals, monuments and museums make Delft one of the most characteristic Old Dutch cities.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
This evening tour takes us cruising on the illuminated canals of Amsterdam. We shall glide through the historic city centre. Sights seen will include the Westerchurch where Rembrandt is buried, Anne Frank’s House, the Skinny Bridge that crosses the Amstel River and the Town Hall.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
We travel by coach to the windmill village Zaanse Schans – a name deriving from the defending wall (schans) which was erected at the end of the 16th century for the war against the Spaniards.
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
We will drive through Dam Square, with the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk, to the museum area. We pass the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, the Concert Building and the entertainment area Leidseplein on our way to the heart of the city for an hour long canal cruise.
BERGEN, NORWAY
Surrounded by seven mountains, a short distance from the country’s wildest and scenic fjords – encapsulating the best that Mother Nature has to offer – Bergen is Fjord Norway’s capital.
BERGEN, NORWAY
Passing the city park and lake, our tour continues south through Bergen’s attractive suburbs. On Nordås Lake we can see the royal residence, ‘Gamlehaugen’. Fana Mountain offers us a superb view, though only 230 metres (755 feet) above sea level.
BERGEN, NORWAY
As we explore the modest house, we will wonder at the significance of the notes that once filled these rooms. The walls whisper stories of melodies that sprang from the heart and hands of an incredibly talented man.
FLAM, NORWAY
We wind our way up to the Hardangervidda Mountain plateau through several tunnels, over bridges and past thundering waterfalls. Narrow paths twist up the mountainsides, used by only the deftest goats, and beautiful vistas of the valley unfold below. At Myrdal, we change trains and head to Voss.
BERGEN, NORWAY
Our tour will show us how the way people live in this part of Norway has changed dramatically during the last century. We will see this change vividly evident throughout the beautiful outskirts of Bergen in the fjord, lake and coastal districts.
EIDFJORD, NORWAY
From the pier at Eidfjord – a tiny quaint village located at the head of the fjord, situated on moraines left behind after the Ice Age – we follow the Eid River, well known for salmon and trout fishing.
EIDFJORD, NORWAY
Sima Power Plant, situated at the end of the Hardangerfjord in Sima Valley, is the biggest power production unit in Norway, and it is open to the public. The production hall itself is situated 700 metres (2,300 feet) inside a mountain, and from there the production room is 200 metres (650 feet) long, 20 metres (65 feet) wide and 40 metres (130 feet) high.
FLAM, NORWAY
We travel by coach from Flåm along the fjord, a branch of the lovely Sognefjord, to Aurland – a small yet thriving village, with a 13th century Gothic style church in the centre. From here we journey inland along the salmon river Aurland, past Vassbygda Lake.
FLAM, NORWAY
This is a unique opportunity for a closer encounter with the Sognefjord! Figuring on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the Nærøyfjord is a spectacular fjord arm – part of the mighty Sognefjord – so narrow we will almost be able to touch the mountains on either side.
FLAM, NORWAY
We will start ascending the “Goat’s Back Mountain” from which we have breathtaking views of the Aurlandsfjord and its surrounding mountains. Proceeding through several tunnels we reach the highest point on this road – 1,158 metres (3,800 feet) above fjord level.
STAVANGER, NORWAY
A visit will be made to the monument ‘Three Swords in the Rock’, where three majestic swords are planted in the mountain as a memorial to King Harald. We then proceed to the Norwegian Petrol Museum presenting the Norwegian oil story.
STAVANGER, NORWAY
After walking along the pier, we board a boat which will take us on a tour of the Stavanger archipelago and the splendid Lysefjord. Lysefjord, which cuts almost 50 kilometres (31 miles) deep into the country, is surrounded by steep mountainsides and polished by glaciers and waterfalls.
STAVANGER, NORWAY
From the pier we travel by coach through the harbour area, with its quaint fish and farmers’ market. We continue past both old and modern residential districts, heading for the verdant and peaceful Mosterøy Island.
ULVIK, NORWAY
This tour is for those of us searching for a dramatic way to view the utterly amazing fjordland scenery. Characterised as ‘Norway’s fruit garden’, the village of Ulvik is a well known tourist centre.
