Scenic Fjords of Norway

Known as the 'Queen of the Fjords', Hardangerfjord is situated centrally in the heart of Western Norway. At 106 nautical miles long, and the world’s third longest fjord, this stretch of deep blue water is flanked by towering mountains – including the well-known Trolltunga rock formation, magnificent waterfalls and idyllic orchards. Charming villages are located along the banks of the Hardangerfjord, including Eidfjord, which offers superb views of the fjord.

The Norwegian Fjords are among some of the most picturesque locations on earth, and Maurangerfjord is no exception. Branching off from Hardangerfjord, Maurangerfjord stretches into Nordrepollen and Austrepollen and is home to the sprawling Furebergsfossen waterfall. The magnificent waterfall flows down the steep mountainside, over large rocks, surrounded by deep green spruces, under the road and directly into the Maurangerfjord.

Lustrafjord – an arm of the spectacular Sognefjord – boasts the incredible natural beauty and landscapes of glaciers, mountains and charming villages which line the often bright green waters of the fjord. Lustrafjord has inspired the work of many great Norwegian artists over the years and is home to some of Norway’s most famous landmarks, such as UNESCO-listed Urnes Stave Church – the oldest stave church in Norway – and the magnificent 218 metre high Feigumfossen Waterfall, one of the country’s highest falls.

Nicknamed the King of the Fjords, Sognefjord is Norway’s largest and deepest fjord and the second longest fjord in the world, stretching over 200km from the coast of Bergen to the small village of Skjolden. The tranquil waters and combination of glacier topped mountains, green farmland, steep forested mountainsides and cascading waterfalls provide an ideal place to enjoy Norway’s natural beauty.

Stretching over 66 nautical miles from the westernmost point in Norway, overlooking the Sunnmøre Alps, to Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in mainland Europe, picturesque Nordfjord has postcard-perfect icy-blue waters framed by towering peaks covered in lush greenery. As your ship navigates Nordfjord, the landscape becomes fairytale-like, with forested hillsides leading down to tranquil waters, cascading waterfalls, and remote villages and farms dotted along the fjord edge.
