A Norwegian fjords cruise package from Fond Travels combines a summer cruise through Norway's western fjords with round-trip flights from the US to the European departure city and a hotel night before you board. Call +1 (323) 800 6001 24/7 and a real travel expert will price the cruise, flights and hotel together on your dates.

Sheer granite walls, waterfalls dropping straight into the sea, villages at the water's edge and daylight that barely ends: the fjords are cruising at its most scenic, and the ship does the work of reaching places roads struggle to.

Why a Norwegian fjords cruise

Norway's fjords are long, narrow inlets carved by glaciers, and the only way to see them properly is from the water. A cruise threads deep into Geirangerfjord, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord, then docks at towns where the mountains start at the end of the main street. Sea days are few because the coast is the itinerary, and in midsummer the sun sets after 11 p.m. and rises again a few hours later. Excursions range from gentle scenic railways and boat rides to serious hikes, so it works for a wide span of ages and fitness. Longer voyages continue north past the Arctic Circle to Tromso, the Lofoten Islands and North Cape for the midnight sun. Add in seafood, clean mountain air and some of the most photogenic sailaways in Europe, and it is easy to see why this route fills up early each summer.

What's included in a Norwegian fjords cruise package

  • Your cruise in the cabin category you select, with main dining, entertainment and onboard programs.
  • Round-trip flights on major airlines from your US city to the embarkation city in the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany or Norway.
  • A pre-cruise hotel night in the departure city, with transfers between airport, hotel and pier where available.
  • Optional shore excursions, dining and beverage packages, and post-cruise hotel nights.
  • Travel insurance on request.

Call for current pricing on your dates; your expert will explain what each cruise line includes and which departure city gives you the easiest flights.

Best time to sail

The season runs from May through September. May and early June bring snow still on the peaks, waterfalls at full force from spring melt, and blossom in the orchards around Hardangerfjord. June and July offer the longest days and the midnight sun above the Arctic Circle, with temperatures typically in the 55 to 70 degree Fahrenheit range at sea level. August is warm and green, and September turns quieter with early autumn color and a chance of northern lights on the far northern routes. Rain is possible in any month on Norway's west coast, so pack a waterproof layer and a fleece; conditions inside the fjords are usually calm, while the North Sea crossing from the UK can be lively.

Ships, cabins and itineraries

Classic fjord cruises are 7 to 8 nights round-trip from Southampton, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg or Kiel, and visit four or five ports in Norway. Longer 10- to 14-night voyages add the Arctic north or combine the fjords with Iceland or the Baltic. Port days are long and sea days are few, so the pace stays gentle even on a week-long sailing. Mainstream ships bring pools, shows and family programs; premium mid-size ships focus on scenery and lectures; small expedition-style ships and coastal vessels reach narrower fjords and remote harbors.

Interior cabins are the economical choice, but on this route a balcony delivers real value: the ship sails through the narrow fjords slowly, often for hours, and the view from your own deck is spectacular. Oceanview cabins are a sound middle option. Suites add space and priority services and are popular with couples on anniversary trips.

Ports and shore days

  • Bergen: the wooden Bryggen wharf, the fish market and a funicular to Mount Floyen.
  • Geiranger: the Seven Sisters waterfall, the Eagle Road and Dalsnibba viewpoint.
  • Flam: the scenic mountain railway and Naeroyfjord, a UNESCO site.
  • Stavanger: old town, Pulpit Rock hikes and Lysefjord cruises.
  • Alesund and Olden: art nouveau streets and the Briksdal glacier.
  • Far north: Tromso, Honningsvag and North Cape on Arctic itineraries.

Norway uses the krone, though cards are accepted almost everywhere. Onboard accounts on US-marketed ships are usually settled in US dollars; some European-based ships bill in euros or pounds, which your expert will confirm. Norway is six hours ahead of US Eastern Time.

Departure ports and getting to the ship

Most fjord cruises embark in Southampton, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg or Kiel, with a few sailing from Bergen or Oslo. We fly you from your home city into London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Bergen or Oslo on a nonstop or one-stop routing, landing the day before embarkation. The included hotel night covers the overnight flight and any delay, and gives you a day in the departure city. Return flights are booked after disembarkation with a comfortable buffer. Because these are overnight flights of seven to nine hours, business class upgrades are a popular add-on.

Who this cruise suits

  • Seniors: calm inland waters, scenery from the deck and gentle excursions. See senior travel reservations.
  • Couples: balcony sailaways in the midnight sun and small-town charm.
  • Families: summer school-holiday departures with kayaking, rail rides and kids' clubs on mainstream ships.
  • First-timers: a scenic, low-stress introduction to Europe with English widely spoken.
  • Groups and clubs: hiking and photography groups on group travel flights.
  • Premium flyers: ask about business class for the overnight leg.

A balcony is worth serious consideration here because the ship spends hours sailing slowly through narrow fjords. Oceanview cabins are a good compromise, interior cabins keep costs down, and suites suit anniversaries and special occasions.

Yes, especially in July and August. Mainstream ships offer kids' clubs and pools, and shore days include kayaking, the Flam railway, waterfalls and easy hikes. Ask about connecting cabins and family excursions when you call.

Very. Inland waters are calm, scenery is enjoyed from the deck, ports are compact and many excursions are by coach or boat. Accessible cabins and airport assistance can be arranged in advance.

We recommend it. Medical care in Norway is excellent but costly for visitors, and international flights can be delayed. Insurance can cover cancellation, medical care, delays and lost luggage. We can add a plan when you book.

Weather or port congestion occasionally forces a swapped or skipped port, and tender ports like Geiranger depend on conditions. The cruise contract allows changes, so keep independent excursion bookings flexible or book through the ship.
