Norwegian Fjords – Ålesund & Hellesylt

About this cruise

You board in Southampton on July 11, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Ålesund, Nordfjordeid, Hellesylt and Måløy, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Deep fjords, tiny fishing villages, and the kind of scenery that looks better in person than in photos. Keep an eye out for Ålesund: Art Nouveau architecture on a Norwegian fjord. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Virtuosa has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
