The harbor offers amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. Take a stroll and duck into one of the pubs or eateries along the way. Only three pre World War II buildings in the city centre have survived and are worth a look - city hall, St. Laurence church and the White House. Explore the Museum Boymans van Beuningen, which houses a unique collec... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Eidfjord, Norway **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM In the shadow of snowy peaks and near stunning blue-green fjords, Eidfjord is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful villages in Norway. Even though it has a population of less than 1,000, scores of visitors come here each year to bask in the area's natural splendor. Hardangervidda, near Eidfjord, is Europe's largest mountain plateau as well as Norway's largest national park. Interestingly, the legendary polar explorer Roald Amundsen, who led the first expedition to reach the Sou... ### Day 3: Hardangerfjord **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 4: Maloy, Norway **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM ### Day 5: Trondheim **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Although a popular cruise destination, Norway’s Viking capital is often overlooked by other travelers in favor of Oslo and the fjords. Yet Norway’s third-biggest city has plenty to offer those who make the time to explore. The compact city center, enclosed by the Nidelva River, is easy to get around on foot. Within a couple of hours you can explore the main downtown sights and still have time for a bite to eat. The medieval Gothic grandeur of the Nidaros Cathedral is a must-see, as is the... ### Day 5: Trondheimsfjord Scenic Cruising **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Leknes **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM The fishing life used to be harsh and brutal on Norway’s wind-whipped Lofoten archipelago. Boats would head out from the town of Leknes in search of cod and risk never returning, but today visitors follow a well-paved road that skirts small farms below craggy, snowcapped peaks and twists around bogs and lakes and over precipitous bridges that link one rocky islet after another. In summer, fish hang on wooden drying racks at every turn. With its airport and cruise terminal, Leknes, on VestvÃ¥g... ### Day 8: Tromso **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Gateway to the Arctic and overhung by lofty snowcapped peaks, it's still a bright and lively place, thanks to the Midnight Sun. Visit the Tromso and Polar Museums for fascinating displays of wildlife and Arctic explorations. ### Day 9: Honningsvag **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM For many travelers, the sparsely populated settlement of HonningsvÃ¥g is nothing more than a pit stop en route to the North Cape, the northernmost point of continental Europe. (The North Cape is rightly an iconic bucket-list destination with postcard views across the open ocean.) But amidst its colorful buildings, HonningsvÃ¥g has a lively cultural life powered by local spirit and an economy driven by shipping through the Barents Sea, which is ice-free year round thanks to the warming influences... ### Day 10: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 11: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 12: Lerwick, Shetland Islands, United Kingdom **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Although part of the United Kingdom, Shetland’s roots are as much Norse as Scottish. This is reflected in the archipelago's many archaeological sites, cultural events and a unique dialect that borrows heavily from Old Norse. Although economically driven by energy, in particular the North Sea oil industry and a growing number of wind farms, Shetland’s heritage of fishing and textile production lives on. Tradition also drives the islands’ main festivals, including the world-famous Viking... ### Day 13: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 14: Dover **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Dover, in the county of Kent in southeast England, has understandably been one of the most important ports of entry to the country for centuries, given its location on the English Channel across from France. The famous White Cliffs of Dover greet you as you arrive, and the city has a number of historic sights, including a medieval castle. For many travelers, however, it is primarily a gateway to London. Few places can compete with England’s capital for sheer energy, atmosphere and variety. Lon... ### Day 15: Rotterdam, The Netherlands **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Often called the gateway to Europe, the port city of Rotterdam is full of old-world charm. The harbor offers amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. Take a stroll and duck into one of the pubs or eateries along the way.
