Onboard, you’ll enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, where service is high-quality, friendly and not pretentious. Step out on deck to witness the mystical lights dance above you.

One of the most elegant cruise lines to sail the seven seas, a Northern Lights cruise with Cunard offers an unparalleled way to explore Norway’s dreamlike fjords, with the added possibility of witnessing the spectacular enigma of the aurora borealis. Sail aboard Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth and enjoy a wealth of onboard destination immersive programmes that will leave you spellbound by the beauty of the aurora. 

With extensive knowledge of Norway, a rich Norwegian heritage that dates back generations and smaller ships that can sail to places out of reach to larger ships, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines can show you Norway like no one else. Whether you’re exploring the fjords for the first time or, like so many, returning on a longer voyage, you’re in for the ultimate cruise experience in Fred. Olsen’s homeland. 

Explore the most scenic spots Norway’s coastline has to offer with Hurtigruten Expeditions.

Onboard the greenest fleet in the world, enjoy lectures from expedition experts and take part in demonstrations that will allow you to truly immerse yourself.
