Springtime Norwegian Fjords

Seasonal wonders abound on this springtime sailing to Norway, particularly waterfalls, which are at their strongest during this time of year. You will be taken on a special diversion into Maurangerfjord to capture the Fureberg Waterfall, while Eidfjord is your gateway to Vøringfoss Waterfall. Insightful experiences await in Bergen and Olden, where you can hike atop Mount Fløyen with a local and visit the Briksdal Glacier accompanied by an expert geologist. You’ll also have the chance to ride the iconic Flåm Railway, weaving through picturesque landscapes and up high into the mountains. Borealis will make more diversions to show you the size-restricted Lysefjord and the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord.

Olden
Today you’ll call at Olden, spectacularly located on the Nordfjord. This charming waterside town is the starting point for excursions through the scenic countryside to the famous Briksdal Glacier. Huge though it is, Briksdal's immense cliff of ice is actually just one of the 50 arms of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, which broods over the entire eastern reach of Nordfjord.

Arrive: Early AM

Depart: Late Night

Bergen
Compact and friendly, Bergen was once a great trading city within the Hanseatic League and is the birthplace of composer Edvard Grieg. It remains Norway's second city and, despite being sheltered from the sea by its seven hills and outlying islands, is unashamedly nautical in outlook. Visit the vibrant harbour and fish market, stroll past the wooden warehouses of Bryggen (the old town) and take the Fløibanen funicular to the summit of Mount Fløyen.

Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. You do require government issued passport to travel.

Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.

Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").

Visa - You do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period.

European Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) - EES is the new electronic entry/exit system for European countries which will replace the physical stamping of your passport. The expected date for its introduction is 10 November 2024. From this date, it means that when you go through passport control on arrival, you will need to produce your passport for checking as you do now, but also have your photograph taken and fingerprints scanned. The system will register your entry on arrival and your exit when departing. You will only need to do this on your first entry into Europe after the scheme starts.
Please note: Irish passport holders or British Passport holders with an EU residency are currently excluded. For those travelling via Eurostar, there is a dual British and French/Belgian) border in operational at St Pancras International. Therefore the EES system will be in place at the station, you will not need to be checked again on arrival at the other side. For further information please visit the ABTA website here.

European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) - Due to commence in 2025, all citizens of the United Kingdom will require a ETIAS electronic form completed prior to their arrival into the EU and Schengen member countries. The cost for this travel authorisation will be €7.00 per person with exceptions for under 18’s and over 70’s. The latest information and further details can be found at www.etias.com.
