The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Our team has designed this itinerary to showcase the natural surroundings of Norway when spring turns to summer, and the waterfalls are at their strongest. Bolette will deviate from the tourist trail along waterways such as Lysefjord – out of reach to larger ships; wild and rugged Hjørundfjord; and Maurangerfjord, where we will make a turn in front of the sprawling Fureberg Waterfall. There’s also a sailing along UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, past the Seven Sisters Waterfall. From Åndalsnes, you can admire mountainous landscapes during a ride on the Rauma Railway, while a hike up Bergen’s Mount Fløyen with a local will reward you with fjordland views away from the crowds.

How do I get off the ship if we're at anchor?
