Day 3, Mandal, NorwayArrival 09:00Departure 16:00
The
‘summer city’ of Mandal welcomes us to its sunny
beachfront and lovely harbour for an afternoon of
history, architecture, and fresh fare from the ocean. Stroll along an 800km
stretch of golden Sjøsanden Beach, explore the city's pier, venture into the
archipelago, visit museums, or find peace in Norway’s largest wooden church.
Established by King Eric of Pomerania as a major salmon trading station,
Mandal has morphed into one of the prettiest harbours lined by whitewashed
houses. Descend to the Lindesnes lighthouse to find small lakes and coves
dotted with isolated islands. Tour the birthplace of Gustav Vigeland, one of
Norway's greatest artists, where his quest for spirituality began.
Day 4, Bergen, NorwayArrival 09:00Departure 19:00
Lovingly known as the ‘heart of the fjords’, this city nestled between seven mountains has plenty to live up to. Burrowed between the mighty Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord fjords – the biggest in Norway – the sensational beauty of Bergen is best appreciated from the top of the funicular, Fløibanen. Flightsee around the peak for a summit advantage to enjoy panoramic views of this city’s beauty. Hike to Fløyen or mountain bike to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Bryggen, before winding down to the sound of calming piano recitals honouring Edvard Grieg Troldhaugen. Raft, crab, kayak or head to a local farm. With lungs full of fresh air and hearts full of love, sink into seafood heaven at the historic fish market to consume mouth-watering Bergen fish soup, fish cakes and customary persetorsk.
Day 5, Flåm, NorwayArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
Nested deep between towering mountains are narrow valleys, a mile-deep fjord and a little village called Flåm. Surrounded by breathtaking beauty, visit the Borgund Stave Church museum or board the astonishing Flåmsbana train, often titled the world's most beautiful rail journey. Climb aboard and witness waterfalls, fjords and farms so remote you wonder how they got there. Fish, cycle or experience a RIB safari through the slender Nærøyfjord - part of the UNESCO world heritage - as you appreciate the surreal landscape. Head into the abyss on the dramatic Stegastein, or - for the less adventurous but no less curious - sip homemade specialties at the local brewery.
Day 6, Nordfjordeid, NorwayArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
Mother Nature excels on Norway’s wildest coast with contrasting forms of extreme beauty: granite peaks laced with tumbling waterfalls that tower over silent fjords and beaches below. Nature is the entertainment, with surfboards, kayaks and horses adding to the adventure. Hike Europe’s highest cliff, scale Mount Hoven by the Sky Lift, drop into history at Sagastad Viking Center and soak in Europe’s deepest lake. Sail salty seas through epic fjords and explore the icy fingers of Briksdal Glacier during a scenic drive through landlocked panoramas punctuated with profound coastal views.

Day 8, Copenhagen, DenmarkArrival 08:00Departure 20:00
Rejoice in one of the happiest and most vibrant capital cities in the world. Relax like a local alongside joyful Danes and varied culture; the Gefion Fountain, the Little Mermaid statue, Old Citadel, the Amalien Palace with four Rococo buildings, medieval history, charming fishing villages, leading examples of sustainable living and - of course - flaky Danish pastries. Cycling is the preferred way to shuttle across town and it’s well worth the pedal to enjoy the trendy, cosy neighbourhood of Norrebro, Christiansborg Palace and the waterfront home of Christian Andersen. Genuine, vibrant and welcoming... rather like the smiles of those that live here.
Day 9, Rønne, DenmarkArrival 08:00Departure 17:00
The beautiful harbour town of Rønne is housed on the rocky island of Bornholm, home to narrow streets lined with merchant timber houses and small craft shops proudly displaying creative passion. Gently stroll to the heart of the art scene at Hjorths Fabrik museum and join workshops to create your own ceramic artefacts. In contrast to the bustling harbour, discover the fascinating street food market and cruise across waters in a private yacht. Charming and romantic, use a bike and roll around this pretty town at your own pace.
Day 10, Gothenburg, SwedenArrival 09:00Departure 19:00
Nature is never far away in this happy city circled by Dutch-style canals. Explore a vibrant cultural scene and fascinating history for true escapism. Discover the ancient wooden houses of the charming Haga district, the Gunnebo House, botanical gardens, boutiques, boulevards and the crumbliest, flakiest pastries for fika breaks. As a world leader in brewing beer and an equally proud fishing pedigree, settle in for long lunches of shellfish platters, globally acclaimed lobster and Poppels beer. Venture out to the beautiful islands of Marstand and Vinga or see it all on an archipelago tour. With a truly positive Swedish and scenic outlook, you’ll end the day feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Day 11, Oslo, NorwayArrival 08:00Departure 22:00
Not many cities are greener – in habitat or sustainability - than Oslo. With over half Norway’s capital city being covered by forests and parks, it’s only natural that the fjord creeps into the city centre. Nature aside, there’s so much more to explore; music, museums, opera, the Vigeland Sculpture Park and one of the world’s most beautiful libraries. Learn about the works of Edvard Munch and the importance of climate change or attend a private aquavit tasting and the Royal Palace. Embark on an aquatic safari, boat jaunt or bike tour. Then consider concluding your day with a classic finish – plunge fjord deep in for some stimulating cold-water therapy. They say these organic city waters are as clean as they are unique.

Day 17, Belfast, United KingdomArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
Belfast bursts with its own unique beat. Once an industrial port of riveters and revolutionaries, it is now a buzzy cultural hub of musicians, tech specialists, environmentalists, and culinary chefs – even UNESCO took notice and designated it a City of Music. Encircled by intense green hills that are backdrops to the movie Game of Thrones and Gulliver’s Travels, which Jonathan Swift envisioned as the slumbering giant. A must-see along Maritime Mile is the Titanic Belfast Museum, magnificently devoted to the fated liner. Walk through West Belfast to the Crumlin Road Gaol museum then leave your own message scrawled on the peace walls. More bucket-list beauties include the Milltown cemetery and the loyalist murals in the Shankill and Falls Roads. Sip a pint of Guinness Irish Stout which, some protest tastes better in a Belfast pub than anywhere else in the world.
Day 18, Stornoway (Isle of Lewis), United KingdomArrival 09:00Departure 16:00
Head to a far-off land in the Outer Hebrides, where unique culture awaits you at one of Britain’s best kept secrets.

Visit Lews Castle, the prehistoric Standing Stones at Callandish, learn the art of weaving or crofting and enjoy peat-smoked scallops or battered fish and chips. And as you admire your new hand-woven Harris tweed jacket, bid farewell to authentic Gaelic values, and the fabulously iconic long-haired cattle.

Something of a bathing mecca, refresh in the town’s geothermal swimming pool, soak up hot spring minerals within My’vatn Nature Baths and encounter incredible views as you let the warm sea work miracles at the restorative GeoSea baths.

Day 25, Sailing the Prins Christian Sund waterway, GreenlandArrival 12:00Departure 13:00
Go carefully into Prince Christian Sound, an iceberg-pocked chasm deep inside a rocky labyrinth, hewn out of the mountains of southern Greenland by Thor himself. Succumb to the sublime sounds of Mother Nature’s song: the silence-shattering whip-crack of calving glaciers, the low groans of spectral ice floes and the shrill exclamations of seabirds, accompanied by the wind’s howl. Onwards through jagged snow-capped peaks rinsed clean by meltwater falls, we are among the intrepid few to navigate the 60-mile passage, escorted by pods of curious whales and solitary bearded seals, basking on lonely bergs.
Day 26, Paamiut, GreenlandArrival 08:00Departure 20:00
Keep quiet about Paamiut – it’s the best kept secret in the region. Head off the well-trodden path and be welcomed with mugs of kaffemik coffee and many a story. Noble and colonial-style, the harbourside gives way to brightly coloured, protected buildings - a church, museum and just a few residents. Hike trails through untouched landscapes, spot spiritual white-tailed eagles and find peace in this natural habitat at the entrance to the Kuanersooq Fjord. This place is good for the soul but remember not to tell a soul.
