Day 4

Vik

<p>Make no bones about it, this is Fjordland at its finest. Named by the National Geographic Traveler magazine as "the world's most iconic destination", legend has it that Vikings and Trolls battled on these very waters and the pretty stave churches – of which Vik has two – are built on sacred Norse land. Vik is a place that could have been written by Tolkein; a mysterious land where mists roll off the mountains, the air is crisp and the silent, glassy Fjords are definitely the ruler of the kingdom. Shrouded in enchantment, the landscape of Vik is steeped in Viking heritage, Scandinavian myth and human enchantment.</p>

This dynamic environment provides a backdrop for authentic encounters with local traditions, from seafood feasts to folk festivals celebrating Norway's rich cultural heritage. As a gateway to the breathtaking Lysefjord and iconic Preikestolen cliff, Haugesund offers a glimpse into the heart of Norway's natural splendor. Delight in the sight of cascading waterfalls and towering cliffs, where nature's majesty reigns supreme.

Away from the hustle and bustle of typical tourist destinations, Eidfjord offers cruisegoers a truly authentic Norwegian experience, where they can immerse themselves in local traditions and sample fresh Nordic cuisine.
