Norway Summer Expedition Cruise from Hamburg (Itinerary 2)
Norway Summer Expedition Cruise from Hamburg (Itinerary 2)
Departing from Hamburg, you’ll sail the spectacular Norwegian coast in summer, going up into the Arctic to the roof of Europe and back.
Endless daylight under the Midnight Sun
Norwegian summers are known for long days and short nights. In parts north of the Arctic Circle, the Midnight Sun blurs the line between day and night, illuminating the fjords and mountains at all hours. This is one of the best times to explore Norway’s rugged landscapes and take in the unique culture of its cities and towns. With a choice of two departure dates, you can experience Norway near the beginning or the end of this beautiful season. Whichever time you choose to travel during summer, you’ll be treated to the trip of a lifetime, and you’ll leave with a greater understanding of what the Norwegians call “friluftsliv”.
Handpicked highlights of the Norwegian coast
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 Fjærland and diverse ‘fairytale’ landscapes on the island of Senja.
