Watch as eagles soar in the blue skies above and whales and seals play in the deep waters.

Beyond the majestic fjords, Norway’s cities and villages provide bucket-list opportunities for history buffs, foodies, and adventure seekers. Soak up the magic of picturesque cities like Oslo. Photograph the colorful fishermen’s houses dotting the coast of Alesund. Sip local craft beer in Bergen. Climb the soaring heights of Pulpit Rock for one of the best views in the country.

Norway Cruise Highlights

Norwegian fjords.

Nature buffs and adventure seekers can’t miss seeing the stunning Norwegian fjords during their cruise. Bergen is a great jumping-off point to see fjords like Hardangerfjord, the country’s second-largest fjord. UNESCO World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord is known as the “crown jewel” of the country’s fjords, contrasting steep waterfalls with snow-peaked mountain caps. Go slightly off-the-beaten path to neighboring Hjørundfjord, where activities like fjord fishing and kayaking will captivate you.

Art & History

Explore Oslo’s famous Viking Ship Museum and see three expertly preserved vessels. Spend a while at the Munch Museum, dedicated to the painter Edvard Munch, known best for his painting “The Scream.” In Bergen, Bryggens Museum is a mighty testament to life in the town before a devastating fire in 1955, where excavations uncovered beautiful reminders of everyday Norwegian life. Bergen is also home to its own art museum that uniquely preserves the homes of famous composers throughout history. Time travel at Sunnmøre Museum in Alesund, an open-air exhibit featuring preserved homes and boats dating back to medieval times.

Craft Breweries

Norway’s distilleries and craft microbrewing scene is rapidly growing in cities like Bergen and Alesund. After decades of mostly serving lagers, microbrewers around the country wanted to offer more variety for beer drinkers, so they started to brew their own IPAs, pale ales, and stouts. Ever since, Norway’s cities have brewed hundreds of their own unique drafts. Unwind after a day’s hike and try something new on the menu.

Featured Ports

Bergen, norway.

Rows of deep red, burnt orange, and white houses near Bryggen Wharf is one of the top sights in the city. Enjoy a romantic wharfside meal or a cozy coffee there before you visit Bryggens Museum or St. Mary’s Church. Ride a funicular rail to the summit of Mt. Fløyen for incredible panoramic views of the city below. Explore the surrounding fjords on an unforgettable kayaking or hiking adventure.

Alesund, Norway

On a Norway cruise, you’ll visit the picturesque town of Alesund, frequently cited as one of the country’s most beautiful places to visit. Spend a leisurely day exploring the Art Nouveau District. Hike up nearly 500 steps to Aksla Viewpoint and admire the stunning vistas of the archipelago and breathtaking fjords beyond. The town is also the gateway to Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most famous natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled between imposing cliffs on all sides.

Oslo, Norway

Let Oslo’s metropolitan atmosphere energize you as you explore its opulent palaces and incredible museums. The capital of Norway is teeming with Viking history, from ships dating back to the 9th century at the Viking Museum to 17th-century art at the National Museum. Art lovers won’t want to miss seeing Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in person. When you move on from historic wonders, grab a craft beer or sample local salmon at any of Oslo’s trendy eateries.

Norway Cruise Itineraries

Embark on an unforgettable cruise to Norway aboard Celebrity Silhouette or Celebrity Reflection. Sailing from May to August, our Norwegian fjord cruises last anywhere from seven nights to nine nights. Longer itineraries give you the chance to see towns like the mountainous Flam or the remote Geiranger. On a Northern Europe cruise, you’ll overnight in Oslo on the way to cities like Copenhagen, Bruges, and Paris, or visit the capital before venturing to Sweden and Finland.

Must-Sees - Norwegian Fjords

Superb glaciers, towering mountains and traditional towns offer fabulous panoramas and unusual places to visit during a Norwegian fjord cruise . You still need to select excursions to show you the very best of the region. Here's our shortlist of unmissable destinations.

Essential Norwegian Fjords

Before you set off on a cruise through the Norwegian fjords — great places to see rich fauna and stunning natural scenery — here is some useful and unusual information. The trip will soon be an even more attractive prospect!

Explore Norwegian fjords

Fjords: should you head north or south?

Meet the Sami

Admire stunning views from the tourist train

The Flamselvi River flows at various speeds through the middle of a green valley and between houses with coloured roofs dotted along the riverbanks. Waterfalls hurtle down steep slopes. From the tourist train which links Flam and Myrdal and climbs to over 860 metres, the views are amazing: each as extraordinary as the last. Using a second train, you can reach the charming town of Voss, passing by spectacular scenery including precipices and high waterfalls. Unforgettable photos are a given.

Explore the Geiranger Fjord

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005, the Geiranger Fjord is one of the most famous in Norway. Walking around this fjord, enjoy being in total harmony with the impressive and yet comfortingly calm natural surroundings. Some of the falls that end their frenetic journeys in the Geiranger Fjord are also some of the best-known in the region, like the Seven Sisters , the Suitor and the Bridal Veil.

Kayak in the Naeroyfjord

The Naeroyfjord is a Norwegian fjord that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoying its beauty from a kayak on the water remains a special experience. The impressive surrounding mountains, and the waterfalls and rivers that throw themselves into the fjord create breathtaking panoramas and contribute to its splendour.

Hike near the Briksdal Glacier

A Norwegian cruise gives you the chance to explore natural wonders that are totally unique. Part of the Jostedal, Europe's biggest glacier, the Briksdal Glacier only adds to the enchanting Norwegian fjord scenery. Rising up 1,200 metres, the jagged white and blue ice moves down the valley. A 3 km walk gives you the opportunity to admire its full beauty and extent.

Sail on the Lysefjorden

Lysefjorden is famous among all adventurers. The toughest climb the 4,444 wooden Flørli stairs. Risk takers have photos taken on Kjerag , which is famous for its rock stuck between two rocky walls. Others prefer to get close to the edge of the 600-metre Preikestolen cliff. However, Lysefjorden is just as impressive from its crystalline waters. Cliffs, waterfalls and green mountains captivate visitors.

Walk around Alesund

The town is by the water and seems to melt into the hills on the horizon. Alesund on Norway's west coast is an attractive place with paved alleys, canals and Art Nouveau buildings. The decoration and paint on the facades make the town special, after it was devastated by a fire in 1904 and rebuilt to meet " Jugendstil " regulations: a unique architectural style.

Visit the Bryggen area of Bergen

Although Bergen is the second biggest city in Norway, in our imaginations it retains the feel of a northern medieval village. Images of Bryggen 's coloured wooden houses by the port stay in the memory. This district, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, has made an impact on the country's history and even more so on that of the North Sea. From the 14th century, the port joined the Hanseatic League set up by the Germans with regional trading posts up to the Baltic Sea. At that time, the Bryggen area was exclusively for German merchants. It would be a shame to miss out on this charming district before leaving for the fjords.

Dos. Although the Norwegians shake hands to greet each other, they are quick to use informal language.

Don'ts. Civic-mindedness is a cornerstone of life in Norwegian society. Special favours are banned, you sincerely thank anyone you speak to (whether they are a friend or a stranger), you don't queue-jump and there are street patrols to prevent conflict.

Unique features

What if getting rid of all time constraints were the real luxury? The municipal council on Sommarøy Island in the very north of Norway near Trosmo has asked the government to ban time in the summer! This initiative isn't as crazy as it sounds when you realise that the sun doesn't set here for 69 days during midsummer. According to some locals, watches and timetables have actually been got rid of already, meaning it's not uncommon to see children playing and people swimming or mowing the lawn during what's supposed to be night-time.

Essential phrases

Hello / Good evening: Hallo Goodbye: Ha det Welcome: Velkommen Excuse me / Please: Unnskyld meg / Vær så snill Thank you: Tusen takk Yes / No: Ja / Nei My name is...: Jeg heter...

The element of Norwegian cuisine that we are most familiar with is smoked salmon. Although the fish is often prominent on people's plates here, lamb is also well-loved. The animals are reared locally in the fresh air and provide high-quality meat, especially for pinnekjøtt : a rack of lamb or mutton salted in brine or seawater and served at Christmas. Brunost , a brown cheese with a caramel flavour, is also widely eaten.

Myths & legends

Trolls are found again and again in Norse mythology and first appeared in the Middle Ages. These myths were a key part of the Viking religion until Scandinavia's Christianisation. Trolls were most often associated with hostile natural environments foreign to people like oceans, mountains and forests. They therefore symbolised natural forces and the difficulties of living in society, and were fear-inspiring. For example, they were blamed for kidnapping women and children.

In the spotlight

To remove the need for local ferries to come and go between eight of the fjords and to open up a fast road on its west coast, Norway is looking into a huge and innovative floating tunnel and bridge project . This would suit certain large fjords where features like conventional tunnels and suspension bridges can't be built.

Books. Through portraits of four generations of women, A Hundred Years is an example of autobiographical fiction which combines and untangles stories, tragedies and family taboos. Herbjørg Wassmo also depicts the hard lives and combative natures of these mothers with so many more and less wanted children in Nordland: the northernmost region in Norway.

Music. Native to northern Norway and Scandinavia, the Sámi people have long been repressed by successive governments. Their language and culture were only recognised in 1988. For a few years, joik traditional Sámi music has been seeing a renaissance and becoming popular. Young Sámi singers like Marja Mortensson and Elle Márjá Eira pair these emotional and nostalgic songs with contemporary and electronic music.

Film. Directed by Arne Skouen in 1957, Nine Lives is inspired by real events during World War Two. Jan Baalsrud is the only survivor on his ship after a German military attack off the Norwegian coast. Hunted by the Nazis, he tries to reach Sweden: a neutral country in the conflict. Throughout the story, magnificent landscapes are shown: snowy mountains, white plains, fjords and icy cliffs.

Facts and figures

Sognefjord is one of the biggest fjords in Norway, covering 204 kilometres . This makes it the longest in Europe and the second longest in the world after Scoresby Sund in Greenland. With an average width of 4.5 kilometres , it is also the widest fjord in Norway. Its depth varies between 100 and 1,308 metres .

SEE THE CELESTIAL SKIES

Norway cruises.

Explore Viking Age history and jaw-dropping fjords.

In Norway, you'll admire everything from the deep blue fjords to the snow-capped mountain peaks. Cruise to Norway and head to the inner end of the stunning Aurlandsfjorden to join a fairy tale ride along the Flam Railway, one of the steepest railway tracks in the world. In Honningsvag, situated above the Arctic Circle, admire the views across the sea to the Svalbard Islands and the North Pole, and watch the indigenous Sami people herd raucous reindeer through the area. Stroll through Bergen's Bryggen neighbourhood, with its medieval cobblestone alleyways and colourfully painted houses or go shopping in the small boutiques that offer handmade Sami crafts. Whether you're looking to feast on traditional Nordic king crab or hoping to see the massive glacial walls of the Svalbard Islands, you can do it all in this northern paradise.

WELCOME TO THE ICE AGE

Set off for the north to see the sparsely populated, mountainous country of Norway. Among the thousands of pristine lakes, isolated islands and stunning fjords, you'll feel like you've stepped back into the Ice Age. 

THE JEWELS OF THE NORTH

Norway is famous for its fjords, the narrow, steep-sided inlets formed by retreating glaciers at the end of the Ice Age. Head to Geiranger to see Europe's highest fjord, or explore Molde's 12-mile fjord that winds through the archipelago. No matter how you choose to ford the fjords, you'll see why Norway is known for these natural wonders.

SAVOUR THE SEA

Different parts of Norway offer unique specialities and tasty delicacies. Most dishes include fish and seafood straight from the sea, but you can head to Naboen Pub and Restaurant in Bergen or Dovrehallen in  Oslo  for meat dishes featuring mutton, beef or reindeer. Try pancakes stuffed with bacon, sour cream and lingonberry jam, or warm up with a creamy fish soup.

HIGH-UP HIDEAWAYS

In Norway, you're never far from the natural world. Cruise to Norway to hike or bike the many trails of  Molde to see views of 222 mountain peaks, or trek along the  Geiranger Skywalk  to see aerial views of glaciers below. In Stavanger, hike up the well-marked paths to the impressive cliff of Prekestol, or simply enjoy the tranquillity and quietness of  Flam Valley .

ANCIENT HISTORY, MODERN CHARM

From the old city quarters to the modern architecture, Norwegian towns off wonderful sights. Take a stroll to Oslo's Opera House for a view of its striking design, or shop for trendy  Scandinavian  souvenirs in the streets of Bergen. You'll be in heaven no matter where you go with Norway cruises. 

GAMBLE ON GAMLEBYEN

Explore the remains of medieval Oslo in Gamlebyen (Old Town), and admire the charming wooden houses. In Bergen, wander alongside the wharf and through the narrow alleyways of Bryggen, the oldest part of Bergen founded in 1070. Here you'll walk amongst colourful UNESCO-listed wooden buildings, preserved or rebuilt in their original mediaeval style.

PIRATES AHEAD

Travel to the southern city of  Kristiansand  to visit the picturesque Christiansholm Fortress, built in the 17th century on the seaside promenade in the city centre. Walk along five-metre-thick walls, built to protect the city from pirate assaults. In Oslo, don't miss the Akerhus Castle and Fortress built in 1299, which has also functioned as a royal residence and a prison. You'll find history everywhere you look during your Norway holiday.

SCANDINAVIAN SOUVENIRS

In Norway's larger cities, like Oslo and Bergen, you can go shopping in big shopping centres and department stores, but there are also many small boutiques, antique shops and markets all throughout the country. The small trendy design stores are stocked with gifts and souvenirs like Norwegian brown cheese or knitted jumpers. In the smaller towns, you'll often find unique shops with handmade crafts like Viking drinking horns.

THERE'S NOR-WAY YOU'LL WANT TO MISS THIS

Enjoy the impressive views of the steep mountainsides, flowing waterfalls and narrow valleys of the Norwegian countryside. Immerse yourself in the local culture by admiring the colourful wooden houses and medieval ruins and indulging in the fresh regional cuisine. When you visit Norway, you'll find like you've entered a whole new world.

FJORD FOR DAYS

Originally a Norwegian word describing a narrow inlet formed within a glacial valley, the term 'fjord' has since gone international. Norway is home to no less than 1,000 fjords, so be sure to check out the country via these winding waterways. Admire the Geirangerfjord in  Geiranger , the Aurlandsfjord in  Flam  or the Lustrafjord in  Skjolden  for a heavenly view.

NORTHERN EXPEDITIONS

While you're in the region, why not explore some other  Northern European  cities? Norway's neighbouring countries, such as Sweden, Denmark, Finland and  Iceland , each have their unforgettably unique characteristics, so be sure to relax in  Reykjavik , Iceland's geothermal spa surrounded by volcanic vistas, or stroll through the stylish Swedish capital, built across 14 islands.

The Norwegian Krone (NOK) is the official currency of Norway. Cash machines are widely available and credit cards are accepted in most restaurants, taxis and shops.

For rainy days, bring an umbrella or raincoat, or head indoors to one of the city's world-class museums.

At the local Tourist Office, you can usually rent a bicycle or pick up some helpful walking and cycling guides.

CUISINE NORDIC NOMS 

In Norway, you'll find many higher-end restaurants transforming local ingredients into refined, modern plates. But there's also no shortage of hearty traditional far in the smaller towns or hip international cuisine in the bigger cities. If you're looking for delectable seafood dishes during your holiday, Norway is the place to go.

SATISFY YOUR SWEET TOOTH

Northern Europeans know a thing or two about pastry. If you're in the mood for a sweet treat for breakfast or with afternoon tea, pop into a traditional Norwegian bakery and try the norsk kanelboller, a cardamon-scented dough pastry, or skillingsboller, the Scandinavian cinnamon bun.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SEA

Throughout Norway, menus in both high-end eateries and humble, family-run spots reflect the long-held local fishing traditions. King crab risotto, creamy fish soup, mussels, poached salmon, tasty fish soups and crispy cod tongues are some of the regional favourites.

MEAT YOUR NEW FAVOURITE COMFORT FOOD

Kjottkaker, a popular dish of pan-fried meatballs with onions and spices, can be found nearly everywhere in Norway. It's typically served in a stick-to-your-ribs gravy or lingonberry jam and enjoyed alongside potatoes and vegetables.

Viking history, sky-high breathtaking fjords, the northern lights, and cosy costal towns all complete the vibrant picture of a Norway Cruise. Make your way to ports like Skjolden, Geiranger, Flam and Bergen.

Elizabeth Rhodes/Travel + Leisure

For the first time, we’re spotlighting new cruise ships on Travel + Leisure ’s It List, as these exceptional vessels become more and more like floating resorts — celebrity chefs, crystal chandeliers, and Rolex boutiques included.

Explora Journeys’ Explora I

Paul Brady/Travel + Leisure

It’s not every day a new cruise line arrives. The debut of the remarkable Explora I was a moment years in the making for Explora Journeys , the upstart luxury operator that aims to bring a European sensibility to the world of vacations at sea. So far, the project is a smashing success, thanks to the ship’s low-key vibe, standout food and beverage, and intriguing itineraries that visit in-demand ports in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. My own August 2023 trip on Explora I , from Copenhagen to Hamburg, Germany, included fulfilling visits to places such as Oslo and the town of Stavanger, Norway, a gateway to adventurous hiking with a postcard-perfect Old Town. The ship itself was also a destination, with its abundance of outdoor space — including an alfresco fitness center — and pools at seemingly every turn. The 461 suites, all of them with balconies, are filled with luxurious touches such as Frette linens and robes, heated marble floors, and Dyson hair dryers. But Explora I truly shines when it comes to food: During the week I was aboard, it was impossible to find a bad meal — and I was often astonished at the quality of, in particular, the pasta served in the Emporium Marketplace and the sushi on offer at Sakura, two of the nine restaurants aboard. The most ambitious of them all is Anthology, a rotating-chef concept that has seen a residency from seafood whiz Mario Ulaissi, known for his Michelin three-starred restaurant on Italy's Adriatic coast, and that recently welcomed Emma Bengtsson, from Aquavit , in New York City. Much has been made of Explora I ’s Rolex boutique — the first on any cruise ship — but for my money, the other shops on board were more interesting: The company has tapped family-owned businesses around the world to create capsule collections of resort wear, handbags, fragrances, sunglasses, and beautiful gifts that can’t be found elsewhere. From $2,050 per person for a six-day sailing. Accessible ship. — Paul Brady

Oceania Cruises’ Vista

The new Oceania Vista is in a class of its own; no really, it’s the first in Oceania Cruises ’ new Allura class. Of its 11 bars and restaurants, three are entirely new to the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings–owned brand — including a high-end cocktail spot called Founders’ Bar, serving 26 intricate drinks that use house-made syrups and top-shelf booze like Whistle Pig and parsley-infused Grey Goose. As Oceania levels up, the cruise line has produced a ship that feels more like a floating resort than the vessels that came before. There’s pickleball; a health-conscious restaurant, Aquamar, serving made-to-order salads and pressed juices; and a coffee shop that looks like one in walking distance of my home in L.A. (marble counters, gold accents, leather bar stools) and pulls an espresso shot of similar quality. Vista has more suites than others in the Oceania fleet, too: There are 14 Oceania Suites (up to 1,200 square feet); eight Vista Suites (up to 1,850 square feet); and three Owner’s Suites with Ralph Lauren Home decor and two massive terraces (2,400 square feet). But the most hotel-like touch? A celebrity chef–driven restaurant, Toscana, where Giada De Laurentiis — the ship’s godmother — supplied two recipes for the menu. As someone who watched a lot of Everyday Italian in the early aughts, I was particularly excited to try her signature, Capri-inspired lemon spaghetti, and lemon-cream sauce with grilled shrimp and capers didn’t disappoint. From $2,499 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Maya Kachroo-Levine

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Grandeur

Courtesy of Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ sixth ship, the Seven Seas Grandeur , sailed its inaugural season in December, joining sibling ships Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Splendor as the newest member of the luxury fleet. The cruise line is a favorite among T+L readers for its gorgeous ships and all-inclusive pricing that covers unlimited shore excursions, dining at specialty restaurants, and even round-trip airfare. Grandeur lives up to its name thanks to stunning, art-filled spaces designed by cruise ship interior experts Studio Dado: signature restaurant Compass Rose is enchanting with interiors inspired by a fairy-tale forest; the Observation Lounge sparkles with an undulating chandelier and swanky bar; and the $11,000-per-night Regent Suite has a private en suite spa and custom Treesse mini pool. As I boarded Grandeur for the ship’s inaugural sailing, I was mesmerized by the grand staircase and glittering chandelier. And with a maximum capacity of 744 guests, I found it easy to take time to myself in the myriad of quiet spots tucked throughout the ship, whether in the Serene Spa and Wellness area, in the Library, or on the Sports Deck overlooking the ocean. Seven restaurants include specialty steakhouse Prime 7, pan-Asian restaurant Pacific Rim, and breakfast and lunch buffet La Veranda, which refines the cruise buffet experience with daily specials like paella and sushi. Several bars and lounges, a pool and hot tubs, a casino, Broadway-style productions, and cooking classes at the Culinary Arts Kitchen make the ship a destination in itself, though guests will want to take advantage of those included excursions on Caribbean, Central American, North American, and European itineraries, ranging from seven to 16 nights, during the ship’s 2024 season. From $4,669 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Elizabeth Rhodes

Silversea’s Silver Nova

Courtesy of Silversea Cruises

Carrying 728 passengers, Silver Nova is big for the luxury sector, but boasts a hugely important metric: a capacious passenger space ratio — that is, the number of guests relative to the size of the ship. Simply put, this ship offers more elbow room per passenger than almost any other cruise vessel. Silver Nova is wrapped in glass, with an asymmetrical layout; the funnel is positioned off-center, so is the pool, offering an expansive, uncluttered pool deck. Many features of the brand-new ship recall previous Silversea successes, my favorite of which is the S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) program, expanded for Silver Nova . S.A.L.T. perks include a gorgeous, sea-facing lab for hands-on culinary lessons (at no additional cost), plus a new concept, the Chef’s Table, where an 11-course menu is prepared for just 24 diners. All facets of the S.A.L.T. ecosystem, including ingredients, a bar, lectures, and shore excursions, are keyed to the region Nova is sailing. While food is a drawing card for Silver Nova , accommodations also received a revamp. Tied to the theme of bringing the outside in, there are brilliant new suites found in the aft starboard corner of the ship, with wraparound balconies revealing a 270-degree view.  This is where you can tuck me in when I win the lottery and head off on a world cruise. But until then, Silver Nova will summer in Alaska and spend northern hemisphere winters in Australia and New Zealand, places where top-deck views should prove ceaselessly rewarding. From $3,250 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — David Swanson
