Midnight Sun Forge – Tromsø & Nordfjordeid

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from June 20, 2026. This one's 12 nights from Bremerhaven, and the route visits Ålesund, Trondheim, Honningsvåg, Tromsø, Nordfjordeid and Haugesund. 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, You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 1. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
