Norwegian Fjords Cruise
8 DAYS FROM £825

567 E Duke Doncaster For the past two years, my husband Bob and I have been on Costa Cruise holidays, booked through Archers Direct. The first was to the Baltics, visiting the fascinating capital cities of those countries that border that sea. Having thoroughly enjoyed it, we decided to take a Costa Cruise to Norway and this was equally captivating as we sailed the fjords and viewed the wonderful scenery.

During the winter we told our many friends of our wonderful holidays with Archers and thought about where we would like to go next.

Now we are busy telling more friends about this year's holiday and looking though the Archers brochures, planning our next exciting trip.

Holiday Itinerary

DAY 1: UK - Copenhagen.
Fly to Copenhagen where you will be met and transferred to your cruise ship, the Costa Atlantica. (D)

DAY 2: At sea.
Your first day is at sea. Relax and enjoy the entertainment and facilities on board. (B, L, D)

DAY 3: Flam.
Set on Sognefjord, the world's longest and deepest fjord, the Flam Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with towering peaks and crashing waterfalls. To fully appreciate the magnificence of the region, why not take an optional scenic train journey? The train makes regular stops to allow you to take in the spectacular views. (B, L, D)

DAY 4: Hellesylt - Geiranger.
We dock at Hellesylt where you can disembark for optional excursions. This is an area where you'll see magnificent waterfalls and the deepest lake in Europe, overlooked by the towering Mount Dallsnibba. In the afternoon visit Geiranger, a little town nestled in the eastern end of the Geirangerfjord. The views of the sparkling waters and dramatic landscape from the mountain are absolutely stunning. (B, L, D)

DAY 5: Bergen.
Founded in 1070AD, Norway's original capital is a beautiful and charming city with a wealth of history and heritage. The ancient Bryggen area has fascinating wooden houses dating from the 14th to 17th-centuries, as well as many quaint little shops, the 12th-century Mariakirke and the Hanseatic Museum, an old house restored to show how medieval merchants lived and worked. The city is, of course, the birthplace of world-famous composer Edvard Grieg, whose statue graces the lovely City Park. (B, L, D)

DAY 6: Stavanger.
Stavanger is a cosmopolitan city located on the southeast coast of Norway. Packed with culture from its charming traditional local architecture and small, brightly coloured wooden houses to its bustling nightlife, it is no wonder that Stavanger was a European Capital of Culture in 2008. Spend time at leisure to explore this interesting city, perhaps visiting Stavanger Domkirke, the oldest cathedral in Norway or join an optional boat tour to Lyse Fjord where you can view magnificent scenery. (B, L, D)

DAY 7: Oslo.
Located at the head of a vast fjord, Norway's capital (the oldest capital city in Scandinavia) has many fine buildings, museums and monuments, conveniently centred around Karl Johans Gate. These include the spectacular Royal Palace, the Edvard Munch Museum, which houses some of the artist's best works, and the excellent National Gallery. Fans of military history shouldn't miss the Resistance Museum, which traces Norway's resistance to Nazi occupation in World War II and the Armed Forces Museum, which includes a vast collection - from Viking artefacts to the tools of modern warfare. This evening, continue your cruise to Copenhagen. (B, L, D)

DAY 8: Copenhagen - UK.
After breakfast transfer to Copenhagen airport for your return flight to the UK. (B)

Note: On 24 May departure the cruise will visit Hellesylt and Geiranger on day 3 and Flam on day 4.
