At its eastern end, the magnificent Nordfjord divides into three arms beneath the glaciers of the Jostedalsbreen, and Olden sits at the beginning of the southernmost of these arms. A charming village, Olden is among green meadows which are ablaze with colourful flowers throughout the summer, and through which babbling brooks meander between pretty houses.

In the centre of the village is the Old Church, built in 1759 on the site of a 14th century stave church: the timber was used for the pew doors and doorposts. Near the church is the Singerheimen, the former home of William Henry Singer Jr, an heir to a steelworks in Pittsburgh, who lived in Olden between 1868-1943 and donated large amounts of his wealth to fund the building of local hospitals and roads here. Singer was also a gifted amateur artist, and some of his paintings the Olden area can be seen in his workshop.Show less
The beautiful Oldedalen Valley extends for 12 miles behind Olden and is an absolute joy to explore. On an adventure into the valley you can marvel at huge, near-vertical cliffs, a string of spectacular waterfalls, and sparkling glaciers, such as the astonishing Briksdal.

Επτά λόφοι και επτά φιόρδ πλαισιώνουν το Χανσεατικό Μπέργκεν, μια πόλη με πλούσια ναυτική κληρονομιά. Από τα πολλά αξιοθέατα του Μπέργκεν, η 900 ετών προβλήτα Bryggen Wharf, που έχει μπεί στη λίστα της UNESCO, είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα αξιοθέατα. Μια απόλαυση για εξερεύνηση, τα πλακόστρωτα σκαλοπάτια του Bryggen είναι γεμάτα με παραδοσιακά ημι-κατεχόμενα κτίρια και ανεβαίνουν μακριά από την προκυμαία, οδηγώντας σε περίεργους ανοιχτούς χώρους που συχνά ξεχειλίζουν από πολύχρωμα λουλούδια που αρωματίζουν τον αέρα.

Το Μπέργκεν διαθέτει μια ζωντανή ψαραγορά και φιλοξενεί ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα πολιτιστικά γεγονότα της Νορβηγίας το χρόνο, το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Μπέργκεν. Η πόλη ήταν κάποτε το σπίτι του πιο διάσημου συνθέτη της Νορβηγίας, του Έντβαρντ Γκριγκ, και το Μουσείο Troldhaugen είναι αφιερωμένο στο έργο της ζωής του.

Δεν πρέπει να χάσετε την ευκαιρία να ανεβείτε με τον τελεφερίκ στην κορυφή του όρους Fløyen, προσφέροντας εντυπωσιακή πανοραμική θέα στο Μπέργκεν και το γραφικό περιβάλλον του.

Situated at the northern end of the Hardangerfjord – Norway’s second longest fjord – Ulvikafjord is surrounded by soaring mountains and lush-green valleys, and leads to the beautiful village of Ulvik. Be sure to have your camera to hand to take advantage of the fantastic photo opportunities as your ship slices through the still blue waters of the fjord.

Behind the bustle of the prosperous and cosmopolitan Stavanger of today lie 1,000 years of ancient seafaring tradition and history. This vibrant, exciting Norwegian city oozes charm and was awarded the prestigious title of ‘European Capital of Culture’ in 2008.

The city’s wealth and thriving oil industry has prompted its tag as Norway’s ‘Oil Capital’, but Stavanger has remained as charming as ever. The old town, Gamle Stavanger, has narrow winding streets and ancient wooden houses gathered round an historic fresh fish and vegetable market. Stavanger is also a university city, which is reflected in the city’s lively, urban atmosphere, and in the varied assortment of shopping and dining experiences.
