Norwegian fjords

Set sail with Ponant on an exceptional itinerary and discover the beauty of the Norwegian fjords. Come aboard Le Champlain for an 8-day cruise and sail along the Norwegian coastline, whose vertiginous cliff faces have been sculpted by the wind and the sea, giving rise to many unspoiled fjords. Leaving from Oslo, the Norwegian capital with its unique energy, you will set sail towards Sweden and the city of Gothenburg. You will then take the direction of Arendal, once known as the Venice of the North because of its canals, which will be an utterly charming port of call.

You will also...read more visit Stavanger, a cosmopolitan and prosperous small town with a perfectly balanced blend of old and new. During your stopover, walk the paved streets and admire the wonderfully preserved fishermen's houses that date from the 18th century. You will then travel to Nordfjordeid, on the shores of Nordfjord, where unique remains from Viking times have been discovered. Your ship will then sail towards the Geiranger Fjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before making its way to the small colourful and cosmopolitan towns of Hellesylt and Alesund. Your cruise will end in Bergen, famous for its Hanseatic wharf that still carries a few traces of the rich historic past of the city founded by the Vikings.
