Introduction to Bergen (Tour B)

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. -

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’. -
Grieg's Bergen (Tour E)

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 (Tour B)
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. -

Fjord Kayaking (Tour F)
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. -

Driving along the fjord, passing small farms and orchards, we start climbing towards Utvik Mountain, where a photo stop is made at a viewpoint to take in the wonderful panorama.

Briksdal Glacier
OLDEN, NORWAY
Our excursion starts from the charming village of Olden, where we pass the church dating back to 1759 and, further up the valley, a red painted church from the early 1900’s – a gift from an American who settled in the village. He was a collector of Norwegian antiques and his home is today a museum. -

Fjord Fishing
OLDEN, NORWAY

Black Prince
Where better to discover a relaxing mood than aboard Black Prince, a byword for a traditional style of cruising born in a more elegant and unhurried age.
Black Prince's classic cruising formula continues to earn her a growing following of both regular and new admirers. Described as 'a little ship with a big heart and soul', she has the ability to slip into small harbours so often overlooked by larger ships, and combines a fun approach to cruising, whilst upholding the traditions of a bygone, more refined era.
