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.
TOBERMORY, ISLE OF MULL
Heading south towards Duart Castle, the drive is breathtaking as we skirt the east coast of Mull with views across the Sound of Mull to the Morvern Peninsula.
TOBERMORY, ISLE OF MULL
This tour takes us to the north west of Mull, with gently undulating countryside, providing some of the most beguiling scenery on the island.
TOBERMORY, ISLE OF MULL
Leaving Tobermory, our coach will take us on a scenic journey south to Salen, before branching off on the Western coastal road to Loch Scriain and on to Fionnphort. Here we board the ferry on foot to enjoy the short (ten minute) journey across to the tiny Isle of Iona.
TOBERMORY, ISLE OF MULL
Our tour will set out from the colourful little picture postcard town of Tobermory. Heading south towards Torosay Castle, the drive is breathtaking as we skirt the east coast of Mull with views across the Sound of Mull to the Morvern Peninsula.
TOBERMORY, ISLE OF MULL
For the nature lovers amongst us, why not enjoy a trip out into the Sound of Mull to view some of Scotland’s most interesting wildlife. Leaving Tobermory harbour in our boat, we head out into the Sound of Mull with our local crew to see if we can seek out any local wildlife that live in and around the waters.
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’.
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.
OLDEN, NORWAY
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. Down on the other side of the mountain, we pass through the very green Våtedalen (‘the wet valley’), a grazing site for sheep and goats.
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.
OLDEN, NORWAY
From Olden we travel through Stryn, the administrative centre of the area, and follow the salmon rich Stryn River. We drive up to the crystal clear Stryn Lake, where we shall visit the Jostedal Glacier National Park Centre.
OLDEN, NORWAY
Departing the quayside by coach, we travel along the fjord until we arrive at the picturesque village, and popular yet peaceful resort, of Loen. Loen has it all: fjord, fertile land, views of mountains and glaciers, and the Lovatnet Lake. From Loen we continue to Kjenndalen Valley for our first stop.
OLDEN, NORWAY
We shall join the 10 metre (30 feet) boat Isabella, chartered especially for us today, directly from our ship. Our experienced local skipper will steer our course on a short cruise to the bottom of the fjord arm at Loen, to one of the best fishing spots.
OLDEN, NORWAY
This tour offers us the opportunity to sample Norwegian agriculture, nature and local culture. Our trip takes us through scenic Olden Valley and ends up at Aabrekk Farm, where the lady of the house, Signe, and her husband Rune welcome us.
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.
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.
