Thursday, June 19: Bergen
Bergen has played a crucial role in Norwegian history and culture since year 1070. Perched between the sea and seven hills, Bergen has witnessed Vikings setting sail on voyages of exploration, trade and war. In the Middle Ages, its old port was a major trading hub. The city retains much of its 18th- and 19th-century charm. Visitors to Bergen will encounter a city that offers a heady blend of natural beauty, history and culture. (B,L,D)
Friday, June 20: Olden
By the mid-19th century, European travelers were cruising the waters of the Nordfjord and visiting the village of Olden. The Romantic Movement inspired this new taste for dramatic landscape - and Norway had plenty of dramatic landscape. Then as now, travelers were impressed, moved, and frequently overwhelmed by the stark contrast between peaceful rural farmsteads and a towering wilderness of mountain peaks and glaciers. (B,L,D)
Saturday, June 21: At Sea
The day is yours to enjoy! Customize your cruise experience with taking a class on dancing, cooking, ceramics, photography and more. Sit in on the ship's book club in the onboard library or an art appreciation lesson. Many options are available for you today. (B,L,D)
Sunday, June 22: Svolvaer

Tuesday, June 24: Honningsvag (for North Cape)
Honningsvag is your gateway to Norway's North Cape on Magerøya Island. This is the northernmost point in Europe, and the true land of the midnight sun. From mid-May to July, the full disc of the sun never dips below the horizon. To the north lies only the remote group of islands and the polar ice cap of the North Pole. From the cliffs of North Cape, perched 1,000 feet above the Arctic Ocean, one stares into the arctic silence. (B,L,D)
Wednesday, June 25: Alta
Alta is known as the "City of the Northern Lights" and people from around the world come here to watch the spectacular phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis in the dark months. Alta is the gateway to unspoiled beauties such as the Finnmarksvidda plateau and the Sautso, often called Northern Europe's Grand Canyon. From the UNESCO-protected rock carvings at the Alta Museum to the fascinating Sami culture, Alta is a tantalizing treasure just waiting to be discovered. (B,L,D)
Thursday, June 26: Tromso
Lying north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø has been a departure point for Arctic explorers and hunters since the 18th century. Today, this town of some 50,000 individuals is home to the northernmost university in the world, which gives Tromsø a lively cultural and street scene, highlighted by the annual Midnight Sun Marathon. Ride the cable car to the summit of Mt. Storsteinen for dramatic views of Tromsø city and Troms Island. Maybe grab a refreshment at the panoramic restaurant. (B,L,D)
Friday, June 27: At Sea
Perhaps today you will try a new restaurant. Or maybe today is your lucky day in the state-of-art casino. (B,L,D)
Saturday, June 28: Trondheim
Trondheim is the third largest - and second oldest - city in Norway. The town was originally called Kaupangen upon its founding in 997 A.D. The city commands the trade routes linking Southern Norway with the fjord lands to the north. Trondheim quickly became a major commercial and cultural center - the city served as Norway's royal capital. Trondheim's old city features broad avenues and attractive 17th-century wood buildings. (B,L,D)
Sunday, June 29: Andalsnes
Nestled between the deep-blue Romsdalsfjord and stunning mountain scenery, the mountaineering capital of Åndalsnes makes a natural starting point for activities and attractions.

A breathtaking ride along the Atlantic Ocean Road offers one surprise after another as it takes you right out to and over the ocean's edge. (B,L,D)
Monday, June 30: At Sea
