The quirky and heritage-filled Hamburg is a true city of water, nestled snugly between the Baltic and North seas and intersected by a frayed network of rivers and canals, spanned by hundreds of pretty bridges. Explore the Speicherstadt, the world’s largest warehouse district and a UNESCO site, known for its neo-gothic architecture.

The nearby Elbphilharmonie concert hall is impressive with its striking design and views over the Elbe River. For a taste of local life, visit the lively Fish Market or stroll along the waterfront at Landungsbrücken, where ferries offer scenic river cruises along the canals.

Onboard MSC you'll experience a welcoming atmosphere with a Mediterranean-inspired elegance. Enjoy a wide array of dining options, from gourmet restaurants to casual eateries and experience live performances, themed parties, and engaging activities for all ages, making it ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

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.

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

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.

Arrives: 09:00 Departs: 19:00

Haugesund, known as Norway’s "Homeland of the Viking Kings," offers a blend of history and coastal charm. Visit Haraldshaugen, a national monument marking Norway’s unification under King Harald Fairhair. Stroll through the vibrant waterfront lined with colorful wooden houses, or explore the nearby island of Røvær, perfect for a quick escape into serene nature. The region is also home to Avaldsnes, an ancient Viking settlement with a fascinating history.
