Scenic Fjords & Falls of Norway
Admire Norway’s mountainous landscapes as Borealis takes you along picturesque, narrow waterways such as Lysefjord – only possible on smaller ships – and Nordfjord. We’ve also planned your cruise at a time of year when the waterfalls are at their strongest, so you can witness the likes of Langfoss and Kleivafoss in their full glory. As well as chances to encounter the icy glaciers of Briksdal and Nigardsbreen, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to embrace the great outdoors, from hiking in the mountains to fishing on the fjords. You can also experience innovative ways of travelling around the fjordland, including Bergen’s Fløyen Funicular, Nordfjord’s Loen Skylift, and the iconic Flåm Railway.
