Individual arrival in Bergen. You can choose to travel by plane from an airport near your home. You can then pick up your rental car at the destination airport. Another option is to travel by ferry from Hirtshals to Bergen, where you can bring your own car.

Before leaving Bergen, you should take the Fløibanen funicular up to Mount Fløyen. There are beautiful hiking trails at the top with magnificent views of the city. The subsequent drive to Stavanger takes you through stunning coastal scenery.

A trip to Lysefjord is well worth it. Take a fjord cruise where two famous Norwegian landmarks await you. You'll pass a popular photo spot – Kjerag, a boulder wedged tightly between two rocks. A little further down the fjord, the majestic Preikestolen (the "Pulpit Rock") rises an impressive 600 meters vertically out of the water.

Flekkefjord, meanwhile, invites you to a pleasant stroll. The old, white wooden houses are in excellent condition, and the Dutch origins of this little town are unmistakable. Charming cafés also invite you to linger. In Vrådal, take a trip to the Telemark Canal. Experience a section of the nearly 110 km long canal system with its locks, canals, and lakes, which ends in the idyllic village of Dalen.

Geilo is located on the Hardangervidda plateau. Countless hiking trails to viewpoints and through magnificent landscapes await discovery. If you're looking for an active holiday, Geilo is definitely the place to be. A particularly beautiful hike is the Prestholtrunden trail in Hallingskarvet National Park. The starting point is the Prestholtseter mountain pasture. You're also not far from the western Hardangervidda and the Hallingdal valley. At the Geilojordet open-air museum, you can explore local history and culture.

This short stage allows for a few detours. The route leads via Voss to the Hardangerfjord. Ulvik is one of Norway's most important fruit-growing communities and is beautifully situated on the fjord of the same name. One of the world's longest suspension bridges spans the Eidfjord and is an architectural masterpiece. From there, you reach Kinsarvik on the Sørfjord.

Enjoy your free day at the Sognefjord. A drive along the Snøvegen mountain pass, which leads to Flåm, is highly recommended. There you can board the famous Flåm Railway, a steep railway line offering stunning views. Alternatively, a hike up Molden (1,118 m) is also worthwhile, perhaps even combined with a visit to the glacier in Jostedalen.

Upon arrival in Bergen, you'll settle into your floating home for the next 11 days. The ship departs Bergen in the evening. Enjoy the passing scenery while meeting other passengers in the Panorama Bar. Relax and unwind as the evening draws to a close.

On your unique journey, you'll discover the diverse facets of Norway in 34 charming ports. You'll set course for the picturesque town of Ålesund. From there, your journey continues past numerous small towns and harbors to Trondheim, famous for Nidaros Cathedral and the archbishop's seat. Next, one of the highlights of your trip awaits: the scenic Lofoten Islands. Here, north of the Arctic Circle, you can admire the dramatic scenery and countless small islands both from land and sea. Then you'll reach the North Cape – a dream destination for many visitors to Norway. From the "end of the world," you'll travel to Kirkenes, near the Russian border, the turning point of your journey. From here, you'll head back towards Bergen, visiting many other stops along the way, such as Hammerfest, Kristiansund, and Molde. A visit to the Svartisen Glacier is an absolute must.

After a final morning on the fjord coast, your cruise ends in Bergen in the early afternoon. The rest of the day is yours to explore the city. For example, you could visit the Aquarium, the Bergen Open Air Museum, or, if relevant to your trip, the Maritime Museum. You will spend the night in a city hotel.

After a leisurely breakfast, depending on your departure time, you'll have the opportunity to explore more of Hamburg's attractions. Take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen, which offers a fantastic view of the city, or visit the charming Hanseatic wharf of Bryggen and the old fortress. Transfer to the airport and return flight home.
