Norway Summer Expedition Cruise from Hamburg
Norway Summer Expedition Cruise from Hamburg
Departing from Hamburg, you’ll sail the spectacular Norwegian coast in spring, summer or autumn, going up into the Arctic to the roof of Europe and back.
Seasons to sail in
This expedition has a choice of departure dates across three seasons of the Norwegian coast for you to choose from. Spring in early May offers the best of both sun and snow, and a fresh coat of luxuriant leaves comes through on the once-bare trees and flowers bloom in an array of colours. Summer is when the Midnight Sun reigns supreme day and night, making the fjords and mountains appear even more vibrant. Autumn in late September has a special kind of sunlight that bathes the yellow, rust-coloured forests in hazy golden hues. Whichever season you select to cruise in, you’re sure to fall in love with Norway’s magnificent landscapes and unique culture.
Handpicked highlights of the Norwegian coast
Four of Norway’s most charming cities aside, your adventure will take you to spectacular landscapes along the Norwegian coast, such as the apple-orchard-lined Hardangerfjord and the Lofoten Islands, complete with idyllic fishing villages. Stand at the dramatic cliffs of North Cape and hike to the hole in Torghatten Mountain. Our ship size also allows us to bring you to places few ever get to see: the remote archipelago of Træna, hidden Hjørundfjord, and diverse ‘fairytale’ landscapes on the island of Senja.
