DAY 3: Eidfjord.
After cruising along one of Norway's most beautiful stretches of water, arrive in Eidfjord, a tiny, tranquil village in the serene Hardangerfjord, located on the mouth of the Ejo River. Today, don't miss an optional excursion to explore the Hardangervidda Nature Centre at the upper end of Eidfjord Lake, with its stunning exhibits, aquarium and wide-screen media showcases on the Hardangervidda National Park. This breathtaking National Park is the largest in Norway and is inhabited by a significant number of protected wildlife, including moose, fox and the largest wild reindeer population in Europe. It is also home to the rare mountain cloudberry plant, which only grows at high altitudes. A wild and raw natural canvas, the Park is made up of the magnificent 750 metre-high Hardangervidda mountain plateau, together with lunar-style fells, racing rivers, sheer cliffs and spectacular waterfalls - all of which have to be seen to be believed.

DAY 4: Skjolden.
Today you will cruise along Sognefjord - the world's longest navigable fjord, to the peaceful and serene hamlet of Skjolden. Surrounded by the Jotunheimen, Breheimen and the Jostedal Glaciers, Skjolden was once home to the famous Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, during the early 1900's.

Spectacularly situated on the winding, snake-like Geirangerfjord, the tiny village of Geiranger is swathed in a spellbinding panorama of sparkling waters, dramatic snow-capped mountains and tumultuous waterfalls bearing romantic names such as 'The Seven Sisters', 'The Bridal Veil' and 'The Suitor'.

DAY 6: Bergen, Norway.
Known as the gateway to the Norwegian fjords and as the city of the 'seven hills', our arrival in charming Bergen gives you more than a glimpse of the wonders to come. The birthplace of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and the original capital of Norway, this beautiful city bursts with history, culture and picture-postcard charm and climbs up steep, surrounding mountain slopes to create an amphitheatre effect around its harbourside. Wander around its labyrinth of quaint cobbled streets flanked with crooked medieval houses, tiny porticoed shops, bustling cafes and museums, view the statue of Grieg standing proudly in the beautiful city park and see famous Bryggen Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its brightly painted Hanseatic merchant's houses and animated harbourside cafes, famous for their fish and seafood delicacies. Today also brings the option of enjoying an excursion to the top of Mount Floeyen. Reached by funicular railway, its peak towers 1,000 feet above the city and commands spellbinding views over its rooftops and the surrounding seascapes, dotted with lovely islands. (B, L, D)
