Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Spend the spring Bank Holiday weekend admiring Norway’s remarkable landscapes. In just five nights, Borealis will take you on a journey along picturesque waterways to two wonderfully contrasting destinations. In the Norse city of Bergen, named after the surrounding mountains, there’s the chance to hike with a local atop Mount Fløyen, affording views of the city and fjordland. Flåm presents the opportunity to take a boat tour along the winding UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord or to travel up high into the mountains aboard the Flåm Railway. Enjoy our Scenic Discoveries programme as Borealis cruises Norway’s longest fjord, Sognefjord, and the size-restricted Fjærlandsfjord, courtesy of a diversion.
