Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 15:00

The largest port in Europe, Rotterdam, is an intriguing mix of the old and the new, with bold modern architecture intermixed with classic 18th and 19th century buildings. Destroyed during WWII, the city has since been completely rebuilt to become the Netherlands second largest city.

You'll dock at the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal, conveniently located in the heart of the city. The terminal is just 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the city center, making it a quick 10-minute taxi ride or a pleasant 25-minute walk. Public transportation options include trams and buses, providing easy access to key attractions including the Markthal - a bustling market with diverse food stalls, and the Cube Houses, a unique architectural marvel. For a dose of history, visit the Maritime Museum.

A day cruising at sea offers you the perfect mix of relaxation and activity. Start your morning on the top-level decks with a game of pickleball, enjoying the fresh sea breeze and expansive ocean views. Or, head to the Greenhouse Spa & Salon® to rejuvenate with a therapeutic spa treatment. The Kids Club will keep younger guests entertained with a variety of fun events and activities, while you can unwind by the pool or enjoy a Pilates class at the Fitness Center.

In the evening, delight in a tantalizing meal at one of the ship's restaurants, and afterward, enjoy a world-class performance at the stunning World Stage, adding a touch of culture to your night. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or both, a day at sea will be full of unforgettable experiences.

Hardangerfjord, located in western Norway, is the country's second-largest fjord and stretches for about 179 kilometres (111 miles). Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, the fjord is surrounded by majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls, and lush orchards, making it a picturesque destination year-round.

Arrives: 11:00 Departs: 23:00

Soaring turrets, spires and beautiful ornamentation adorn the buildings throughout Ålesund, giving it a distinctive flair and earning the town a revered architectural reputation. Seven islands comprise Ålesund , and they’re cleverly connected by an elaborate set of underwater tunnels. Feeling energetic - climb the 418 steps to Mount Aksla for panoramic views of the town, surrounding islands and fjords or how about visting the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium, which offers an immersive look at marine life.

Arrives: 8:00 Departs: 18:00

Olden is located in the midst of incredible natural beauty at the end of the scenic Nordfjord. Visit the nearby Briksdal Glacier, where an easy hike or troll car ride brings you close to the icy beauty. The Loen Skylift provides spectacular views of the Nordfjord from 1,011 meters above sea level. Explore peaceful Olden Church or take a scenic boat ride along the fjord’s deep blue waters.

Nordfjord is situated between the largest mainland glacier in Europe and Norway's wildest coast at the western cape. Cruise through this world renowned network of fjords to experience the grandeur of Norway's stunning scenery.

In the astonishingly beautiful and diverse Nordfjord, you will find peaceful valleys and well-kept farms, as well as gleaming glaciers, foaming waterfalls, and towering, snow-capped mountains. The mountains, carved by glaciers, plunge from altitudes of a few thousand metres, straight down into the seawater.

Arrives: 8:00 Departs: 17:00

Norway’s beauty shines brighter than ever in Bergen, where colourful wooden buildings line every street. From the historic wharf called the Bryggen to the neighbouring fjords just waiting to be explored, a day in Bergen makes for a fun mix of city and seclusion, outdoor adventure and arts and culture. Ships will dock at the Skolten cruise port.

Top Things to Do in Bergen:

  • take in the views from atop Mount Floyen
  • visit the Bryggens Museum
  • explore the famous fish market
  • fly over Hardangerfjord in a seaplane

Norway and Iceland 3 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2023
Undoubtedly the best holiday we have had. The Rotterdam is a new ship so everything was clean and worked. The staff were beyond praise - nothing was too difficult and they went out of their way to make the experience an unforgettable one. The locality certainly helped. It is one thing to read a description of a Norwegian fjord - it is entirely different ...read more to actually be in one. This cruise took us deep into several stunning examples. The Captain even executed a 360 degree turn in one so that the full experience was open to every point on the ship. Onboard, there was something for everyone, even a grumpy old curmudgeon like me. Food was great, a wide range of drinks catered for all and the entertainment was excellent. Totally recommend the whole package.
