We start this trip in Bergen, where you can fly directly from the Netherlands, or take the train. Bergen once had close ties with the Dutch Hanseatic city of Deventer, and you will still find many references to that era in the old Bryggen. We sail north through impressive fjords, countless islands, and rugged cliffs. We round Norway's West Cape, and perhaps you'll spot a puffin or gannet on Runde Island.

From that terrace, you will probably already see our ship, the Baltic, docked along the quay. From 4:00 PM, we welcome you aboard, and you can meet your fellow travelers and the crew.

This fjord is surrounded by a chain of mountain peaks over 1000m high, a fitting conclusion to this impressive journey.

However, we recommend taking some time today to discover the Art Nouveau city of \u00c5lesund. The reason why so many houses and buildings in \u00c5lesund are in Art Nouveau style is that the city fell victim to a massive fire in 1904. In a short time, the entire city was rebuilt in the then-prevailing architectural style: Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil). Visit \u00c5lesunds Museum for the complete story about the city, or climb Mount Aksla for the most fantastic view. According to National Geographic, it is one of the most beautiful port cities in the world, and we secretly agree with them.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image
