Norway
Fjords too narrow for the big cruise lines.
A 120-guest expedition ship, with kayaking off the stern.
Norway's fjord country rewards a smaller ship — one that can get into narrower channels and dock closer to the small towns the mega-liners skip entirely. This itinerary combines that access with a genuine expedition feel: kayaking, small-boat excursions, and onboard naturalists.
What's included
The experience
Passage through Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord, both UNESCO World Heritage sites
Guided sea kayaking directly from the ship in calm fjord waters
A funicular ride up Mount Fløyen above Bergen
Onboard lectures from a Norwegian naturalist covering local geology and wildlife
Where you'll stay
A veranda stateroom aboard a small expedition ship (under 150 guests).
Best time to go
May–September for the longest days and mildest weather; June for the midnight sun further north.
