Summertime Norwegian Fjords & Folklore
FREE On Board Spend!
No-Fly from Newcastle
This six-night British Bank Holiday sailing will guide you through some of Norway's most stunning fjordland scenery. Smaller-sized Balmoral will traverse a series of majestic fjords including Langsfjord & Eresfjord, Nordfjord, Innvkfjord and Hjørundfjorden. Be sure to be on deck as these serene waters carve their way through rugged terrain flanked by towering mountains and sheer cliff faces - such as the iconic Trollveggen - whose sheer vastness commands attention.
