Scenic Views Of Norway's Iconic Fjords - July

As Balmoral ventures deeper into the magnificent Norwegian fjordland, you’ll delight in the splendour of some of the world’s most spectacular waterways. Lose yourself in the eerie silence of wild and rugged Nordfjord and the countryside scenes of Langfjorden and Eresfjorden; and witness the magnificence of the cliff faces, towering mountains and intricate rock formations in Lysefjord – only accessible to smaller ships – and Fjaerlandsfjord. Visits to four highlight destinations provide opportunities to step ashore in the fjords, and get even closer to an abundance of attractions. Olden is your gateway to astonishing glacier arms and the Loen Skylift, which offers breathtaking views all the way to the peak of 1011 metre-high Mount Hoven; and Skjolden is the starting point for going in search of the spellbinding Jostedalen Valley and Nigardsbreen Glacier. At Andalsnes, the incredible Rauma Railway is yours to ride high into and through magnificent mountain valleys, creating memories that will last a lifetime. A funicular railway can take you to the top of Mount Fløyen for stunning views in Bergen too, though you may opt for a change of scenery and explore the city’s iconic Bryggen Wharf instead.

Cruise Overview

With departures from Dover, Southampton, Newcastle and Rosyth, Balmoral cruises offer the chance to explore some of the world's most spectacular destinations. What's more, despite being one of the largest Fred Olsen ships, Balmoral is small enough to take advantage of the tighter waterways along each route, so guests do not miss out on remarkable sights along the way, such as the Norwegian fjords or Germany's Kiel Canal. As well as incredible scenery, Balmoral cruises provide the very best in amenities and dining experiences, as well as stylish and comfortable accommodation. With fewer than 1,400 guests, there is ample room for every passenger to enjoy the spacious venues and public areas, while still having plenty of chances to enjoy the company of others. Whether you're travelling around the culture-filled Americas or the Scottish Lochs, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience on board Balmoral.
