Book Now5 Days | 4 Nights | 270 NM
Along Norway’s western coast, the sea has sculpted a landscape of quiet grandeur. Towering cliffs rise from glassy waters, villages cling to emerald slopes, and age-old seafaring traditions endure amid breathtaking stillness. This voyage reveals the heart of Norway’s fjords through a lens of culture and calm, offering a balance of adventure and repose. Each moment invites slow discovery, guided by nature’s rhythm and the quiet elegance of life at sea.
Gateway to the Fjords
Arrive in Bergen, a harbour city steeped in maritime history and framed by seven green hills. Wander through Bryggen Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage Site lined with colourful Hanseatic buildings, before boarding your private yacht. As you depart the harbour, the scent of pine and sea drifts through the air. A welcome dinner is served on deck while the evening light lingers over the mountains.
The Orchard of Norway
Cruise through Hardangerfjord, a region celebrated for its fruit orchards and cascading waterfalls. Visit small family-run cider farms for a private tasting or tender ashore to stroll through wildflower meadows. Lunch is enjoyed on deck with views of the glacier-topped Folgefonna range. As dusk arrives, anchor in a quiet bay where the stillness of the fjord is broken only by the sound of water against the hull.
The King of the Fjords
Continue your voyage into the vast Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. The scenery grows ever more dramatic with sheer cliffs and distant waterfalls cascading into mirrored water. Explore the village of Balestrand, known for its elegant art nouveau villas, or visit the historic Hopperstad Stave Church. Dinner on deck is accompanied by the golden hues of a long Nordic sunset reflected on the fjord’s surface.
Where Mountains Meet Reflection
Cruise into the tranquil Aurlandsfjord, a narrow branch of Sognefjord surrounded by emerald slopes and mirror-like waters. Go ashore in Flåm for a private journey on the world-renowned Flåm Railway, passing through tunnels and valleys lined with waterfalls. Return to the yacht for an afternoon of kayaking or relaxation at anchor. As night falls, dine beneath soft candlelight while the mountains rise like silhouettes around you.
Farewell to the Fjords
Begin your return voyage to Bergen, tracing the fjord’s contours back toward the open sea. The morning offers a final glimpse of mist-draped peaks and fishing villages nestled along the coast. Arrive in Bergen by afternoon, where disembarkation awaits. Reflect on days defined by serenity, heritage, and the quiet splendour of Norway’s timeless fjords.
