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.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
This tour commences with a drive alongside the City Lake – Tjörnin – with a view of City Hall, and continues past The Pearl – Perlan – an impressive glass dome on top of hot water storage tanks. Through Reykjavík’s suburbs we travel past the rugged lava fields of the Reykjanes peninsula, towards the Blue Lagoon
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
Leaving the harbour we shall follow the coastline before heading inland to arrive at the city’s municipal conservation area of Heidmörk. The surrounding lava fields, craters and imposing mountain ranges bear witness to the country’s fiery origins.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
As we approach the city we will notice the clean lines of modern buildings and fresh bright colours, with the number of traditional buildings increasing as we get closer to the old town centre. Our tour starts with a drive through the city’s main recreational and sports area of Laugardalur.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
In 4x4 vehicles, especially modified for the purpose of traversing Iceland’s varied terrain, we travel over the lava plateau Hellisheidi and proceed via the southern coastal lowlands, to the greenhouse village Hveragerdi.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
Our visit allows us to experience some of the most outstanding scenery in the country. Thingvellir ranks at the top of Iceland’s tourist attractions, and in 2004 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The outstanding scenery here is of tremendous geological and historic interest.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
If you think that Iceland looks good from the ground – wait until you have seen it from the air. This never-to-be-forgotten trip shows the sharply contrasting faces of Iceland’s natural features – glaciers and volcano.
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.
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.
SKJOLDEN, NORWAY
We will travel through the Jotunheimen National Park with its dramatic alpine peaks, glaciers and waterfalls. The Sognefjell mountain road is a national tourist route and the highest mountain crossing in Northern Europe.
SKJOLDEN, NORWAY
This short trip to Jostedalen takes us from Skjolden, along the fjord to Gaupne, then through the narrow Jostedalen valley and all the way up to the Nigardsbreen. We shall park very close to the glacier, which means a fantastic view and great possibilities for photographs.
SKJOLDEN, NORWAY
This breathtaking trip takes us through the narrow, lush Jostedalen valley to the heart of the blue ice world in the Jostedalsbreen National Park. We will visit Breheimsenteret, an information centre for the glacier and the Jostedalsbreen National Park.
SKJOLDEN, NORWAY
Today we will drive along the fjord of Luster and make a short stop to see the beautiful Feigumfossen waterfall. Continuing, we travel along the Romantic Road to the Urnes Stave Church, which is Norway’s oldest stave church and is included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
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.
HEIMAEY, WESTMAN ISLANDS
We begin our tour from the harbour in Heimaey – a harbour that for a long time has been a shelter for the Icelandic fishing fleet, but was almost lost in the volcanic eruption on the island in 1973.
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.
