Norwegian Fjords – Lerwick & Flam

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Southampton on July 18, 2026 visits Lerwick, Måløy, Flåm and Kristiansand. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Midnight sun, Viking history, and landscapes that look photoshopped but aren't. Don't rush through Kristiansand, which is known as Southern Norway's sunniest harbour. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Virtuosa has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
