Exploring The Hardangerfjord
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. -
Birdwatching By Boat at Runde
ALESUND, NORWAY
Our local guide will take us very close, in good weather as close as just a few metres from the rock. We should see large groups of puffins and plenty of kittiwakes. The puffins, easily recognisable by their colourful bill, nest in holes in the rock. -
Giske & Godoy
ALESUND, NORWAY
From Giske we drive to the island of Godøy, with the pretty fishing village of Alnes facing the Atlantic Ocean. We take a short break at the Alnes Lighthouse and refreshments will be served in the nearby café. -
City & Surroundings
ALESUND, NORWAY
This tour shows us parts of the splendid town and takes us to the breathtaking viewpoint on Mount Aksla, for the best panoramic view of this spectacular scenery. We will also enjoy a drive along the Borgundfjord, through the suburbs, to the bustling old trading centre of Borgund, site of the Sunnmøre Museum. -
Introduction to Bergen
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. -
Lysoen Island
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. -
Grieg's Bergen
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. -
Norway In A Nutshell
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. -
Norway Old And New
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. -
Geiranger Panorama
GEIRANGER, NORWAY
Leaving Geiranger, our coach climbs a steep road complete with hairpin bends and incomparable views of the majestic Geirangerfjord. With each turn in the road the panorama unfolds; mountains and forests, streams and tiny towns clinging bravely to the steep hillsides. -
Photo Highlights & Norwegian Fjord Centre
GEIRANGER, NORWAY
At the Eagle Bends, a wide twist in the road allows heart-stopping views of the Geirangerfjord and the town of Geiranger. We will glimpse the waterfalls known as the Seven Sisters and see abandoned mountain farms clinging to the rugged hillside. -
Herdal Summer Farm
GEIRANGER, NORWAY
At the Eagle Bends, a wide twist in the road allows heart-stopping views of the Geirangerfjord and the town of Geiranger. We will glimpse the waterfalls known as the Seven Sisters and see abandoned mountain farms grasping the rugged hillside. -
Glorious Fjordland
HELLESYLT, NORWAY
We start our tour in Hellesylt and almost immediately we will see the mighty Hellesylt Waterfall which cascades into the aqua fjord. It is easy to understand why this is the place where Henrik Ibsen was inspired to write his immortal drama Brand. -
Zodiac Adventure
HONNINGSVAG, NORWAY
The course taken will be suited to the day’s weather.During this tour we will experience distinctive sub-arctic nature, bird life, historic sights, abandoned fishing communities, a lighthouse and, with luck, we might spot seals or a whale, possibly even a majestic white-tailed eagle. -
Nusfjord & Vestvagoy Museum
LEKNES, LOFOTEN ISLANDS, NORWAY
Our excursion starts in Leknes, from where we cross underneath the narrow sound between Lilleeid and Napp to Flakstadøy. We proceed to the idyllic fishing village of Nusfjord – protected by UNESCO – where we can study the architecture of the colourful fishermen’s dwellings. -
Borg Viking Centre & Ballstad
LEKNES, LOFOTEN ISLANDS, NORWAY
Departing from the landing stage in Leknes, we pass through this administrative centre of Vestvågøy Island ¬– skirting its little airport. All the while we have the Himmeltindan Mountains in our view, the tallest on the island at approximately 1,000 metres (3,000 feet) above sea level. -
Introduction to the Lofoten Islands
LEKNES, LOFOTEN ISLANDS, NORWAY
On the island of Vestvågøy, we travel by coach through Leknes – the municipality’s centre of administration and trade, yet with less than 2,000 residents. We then proceed to the small, traditional village of Ballstad for a short photo stop. -
Arctic City Tour
TROMSO, NORWAY
Our sightseeing tour of the city starts from the pier, passing the campus of the northernmost university in the world, and the Planetarium – resembling a rocket launch pad! We make our way to the Tromsø Museum for a look at the interesting zoological, geological and ethnological exhibitions -
Introduction to Tromso
TROMSO, NORWAY
Leaving the pier, our tour of this interesting area starts in the centre – a charming blend of old and new, with modest wooden houses set next to contemporary architecture. We pass Tromsø Church, one of the largest wooden churches in the north, before we head off around the island. -
Polaria Centre & Cable Car
TROMSO, NORWAY
This tour takes us to the environment centre, Polaria. The exterior alone is fascinating; the building resembles huge blocks of ice thrown together. Inside, various exhibitions present polar areas and the Barents region, and we will be shown a spectacular widescreen film -
Wilderness Centre
TROMSO, NORWAY
The Tromsø Wilderness Centre is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the city. Here we will enjoy an exciting programme of events including a chance to meet some of the 130 huskies. -
City Sightseeing
TRONDHEIM, NORWAY
We travel from the pier through the busy city centre, past the market square with the statue of the king who founded the city (interestingly it forms the axis of the world’s largest sundial), to the impressive, Gothic style Nidaros Cathedral. -
Orkdal & Lokken Mines
TRONDHEIM, NORWAY
This excursion takes us along the shores of the Trondheimsfjord – at 126 kilometres (80 miles), the third longest in Norway. Travelling through the suburbs, we later reach Gaulosen, a branch of the main fjord, before following the Orkdalsfjord to the village of Orkanger. -
Flightseeing By Seaplane
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.
Balmoral
With the introduction of the company’s fifth vessel, the newly extended and refurbished Balmoral - named in honour of the Scottish Royal estate - Fred. Olsen is taking cruising to a new level.
Although slightly larger than our existing ships, Balmoral is still compact enough to offer that intimate, homely atmosphere which is so much our trademark. The combination of Balmoral's elegant comfortable cabins, world class cuisine and diverse on board activities has been designed to appeal particularly to the rapidly expanding British cruise market.- Anchor Port
