12 nights - Summer Magic in Norway - from/to Bremerhaven
About this cruise
Clear the calendar from July 15, 2027. This one's 12 nights from Bremerhaven, and the route visits Bergen, Nordfjordeid, Honningsvåg, Tromsø, Trondheim and Ålesund. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Waterfalls dropping straight into fjords, villages perched on cliffsides. Northern Europe doesn't do subtle. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff 2 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Bremerhaven and come back with stories from Bergen, Nordfjordeid, Honningsvåg, Tromsø, Trondheim and Ålesund.
