Saga of the Nordic Fjords – Bergen & Reykjavik

About this cruise

A 11-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Southampton on August 29, 2027 and visits Zeebrugge, IJmuiden (Amsterdam) and Bergen, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. The trip wraps in Reykjavik, so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Northern Europe & Scandinavia route takes in Belgium, Netherlands, Norway and Iceland, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Geiranger: A fjord so stunning it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Prima keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Southampton before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 11 nights well spent.
