Verdant Fjords – Bergen, Geiranger & Ålesund

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Bremerhaven on August 17, 2026 and visits Bergen, Geiranger, Hellesylt, Ålesund, Haugesund and Hamburg. You wind up in Hamburg, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Waterfalls dropping straight into fjords, villages perched on cliffsides. Northern Europe doesn't do subtle. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 1 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
