Fjord Explorer – Stavanger & Flåm

About this cruise

This one leaves Southampton on June 20, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Stavanger, Flåm, Geiranger and Haugesund at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. From Bergen's coloured waterfront to the fjords beyond, this is Scandinavia doing what it does best. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Celebrity Apex takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Southampton has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Southampton and come back with stories from Stavanger, Flåm, Geiranger and Haugesund.
