Auf dieser einmaligen Route entdecken Sie mit PONANT die Schönheit der norwegischen Fjorde.
Gehen Sie an Bord der Le Dumont-d'Urville zu einer 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an der norwegischen Küste entlang, in deren von Meer und Wind zerklüfteten Felswände sich zahlreiche wilde Fjorde eingruben.
Von der energiegeladenen norwegischen Hauptstadt Oslo geht es nach Schweden in die Stadt Göteborg.
Anschließend fahren Sie weiter nach Arendal, das aufgrund seiner Kanäle früher Venedig des Nordens genannt wurde. Die Stadt in Südnorwegen lädt zu einer charmanten Pause ein.
Während der Kreuzfahrt fahren Sie durch den berühmten, von Granitfelsen gesäumten Lysefjord, den „Lichtfjord".
Von der malerischen Ortschaft Olden aus, einige Kilometer vom Jostedalsbreen-Nationalpark entfernt, in dem eine der letzten Eiskappen Europas liegt, können Sie den herrlichen Briksdalbreen-Gletscher bewundern.
Ihr Schiff fährt weiter zum Geirangerfjord, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehört, bevor Sie die kleinen bunten kosmopolitischen Städte Hellesylt und Ålesund erreichen.
Ihre Kreuzfahrt endet in Bergen, berühmt für seine hanseatischen Kais, die noch Spuren der reichen historischen Vergangenheit der von den Wikingern gegründeten Stadt tragen.

Oslo, Hauptstadt von Norwegen, ist eine grüne Stadt. Es ist im Übrigen zum großen Teil dank der zahlreichen Grünanlagen, dass sie über eine sehr hohe Lebensqualität verfügt, der sie ihren Ruf verdankt. Der 80 Hektar große Vigeland-Skulpturenpark und seine 212 unter freiem Himmel ausgestellten Werke, dans Munch-Museum das die nachgelassenen Werke Edvard Munchs enthält, oder auch die Festung Akershus, welche die reiche Geschichte von Oslo symbolisiert, sind bei einer Sightseeingtour ein unbedingtes Muss. In puncto Kultur wartet die Nationalgalerie mit der größten öffentlichen Sammlung an Malereien, Zeichnungen und Skulpturen auf. Und für die Sportbegeisterten bietet das Viertel Holmenkollen mit seinem Skimuseum und seiner historischen Sprungschanze den schönsten Panoramaausblick der Stadt.

Bergen ist ein wahres Freilichtmuseum und die Heimat vieler Künstler: Maler, Töpfer, Juweliere… Besuchen Sie die Altstadt mit ihren engen Gassen, ein Zeugnis der Macht der Hanse, die den Handel in Nordeuropa am Ende des Mittelalters kontrollierte.

Nordic walk experience
Norway has a long tradition of cross-country skiing. This activity has been adapted to the walk you will discover today. Nordic walking is a total body version of walking but is different from hiking - the poles are not used vertically in front of the body but are pointed backwards, as in cross-country skiing. The technique is easy to learn, permitting to enjoy a true nature experience.
After a short transfer, begin your tour with a short walk through an industrial and residential area before you reach the shores of the Gandsfjord and a 19-mile-long (30 km) trail reaching all the way to the city of Stavanger. The trail runs in open countryside right beside the fjord and offers a fantastic view over the Gandsfjord and the mountains beyond. There are several lovely beaches along the way, and you will pass large rocky headlands protruding into the fjord.
Then, relax during a peaceful stop, where you will enjoy one of Norway’s best loved – and one of the simplest – culinary treats, the locally-made cheese. Together with rye bread and beverages, this constitutes a typical Norwegian back-to-the-basics trail snack.
Afterwards, board your coach for your transfer back to the pier.
- This tour includes approximately 5 to 6 miles (8 km) of trail walking over mainly flat, paved and gravel surfaces. We recommend you wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a small rucksack to hold any gear. Walking poles will be provided.

Visit the nearby village of Ullandhaug, where farmhouses have been reconstructed to show what life was like during the Iron Age. Then, rejoin the coach and continue to Stavanger.

City walk & Art Nouveau museum
Ålesund, the largest town on the northwest coast of Norway, has a spectacular setting: stretching over three islands, near the ocean and backdropped by impressive mountain-peaks. The town centre was destroyed by a fire in 1904, but rebuilt shortly after in the characteristic Art Nouveau architectural style of the period. Today Ålesund has a population of approximately 40,000, but the town centre is relatively small and easy to cover on foot.

The tour will continue uphill to the quaint little park at the foot of mount Aksla. Here, you will find exotic trees and plants as well as a memorial stone dedicated to the German emperor Wilhelm II, for whom the main street in town is named after. Furthermore, you will see the statue of the Viking "Gange-Rolf" who sailed from Ålesund to what is today Normandy (France), named after the Norwegian settlers. From the park, you could choose to continue to ascend mount Aksla, where your will be rewarded for your efforts with a spectacular view. Or you could wander about in the park or just sit and have a rest before the return to the pier and your ship.

The famous Gange - Rolv, or Rollo, was born on Giske. This great warrior conquered Normandie in 911 and became the ancestor of William the Conqueror, sire to the English Royal Family. The old marble church at Giske was built as a family chapel for one of most powerful families. The church is built in the Norman style and is a typical product of the architecture prior to 1200. In 1756 the church was restored. The local artist Jacob S. Giskegaard created the new interior including a new pulpit, and a new alter piece.
Continue your visit proceeding to Godoy Island and Alnes village located on the seaside. You will see a typical fishing village with a well-preserved and picturesque architecture.

Part of the church is from the old St Peter's Church from around 1100. The stone alter is from Medieval times and also worth mentioning are the beautiful wood carvings.
After this visit, you will return to your ship.
- For this excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). Please note the church may be visited from exterior only due to ecumenical services.

Nordic walk experience
Norway has a long tradition of cross-country skiing. This activity has been adapted to the walk you will discover today. Nordic walking is a total body version of walking but is different from hiking - the poles are not used vertically in front of the body but are pointed backwards, as in cross-country skiing. The technique is easy to learn, permitting to enjoy a true nature experience.
After a short transfer, begin your tour with a short walk through an industrial and residential area before you reach the shores of the Gandsfjord and a 19-mile-long (30 km) trail reaching all the way to the city of Stavanger.

There are several lovely beaches along the way, and you will pass large rocky headlands protruding into the fjord.
Then, relax during a peaceful stop, where you will enjoy one of Norway’s best loved – and one of the simplest – culinary treats, the locally-made cheese. Together with rye bread and beverages, this constitutes a typical Norwegian back-to-the-basics trail snack.
Afterwards, board your coach for your transfer back to the pier.
- This tour includes approximately 5 to 6 miles (8 km) of trail walking over mainly flat, paved and gravel surfaces. We recommend you wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a small rucksack to hold any gear. Walking poles will be provided.

City walk & Art Nouveau museum
Ålesund, the largest town on the northwest coast of Norway, has a spectacular setting: stretching over three islands, near the ocean and backdropped by impressive mountain-peaks. The town centre was destroyed by a fire in 1904, but rebuilt shortly after in the characteristic Art Nouveau architectural style of the period. Today Ålesund has a population of approximately 40,000, but the town centre is relatively small and easy to cover on foot.
From the pier, you will start on foot with a visit to the Art Nouveau museum, located in the old pharmacy building. The museum provides interesting insight into the fire of 1904 and the creative Art Nouveau period.
After your visit, you will continue your walking tour. Your guide will put particular emphasis on presenting the importance of fisheries in Norway's biggest fish export harbour and, of course, you will be shown a multitude of examples of the picturesque Art Nouveau style that has made Ålesund famous.
The tour will continue uphill to the quaint little park at the foot of mount Aksla. Here, you will find exotic trees and plants as well as a memorial stone dedicated to the German emperor Wilhelm II, for whom the main street in town is named after. Furthermore, you will see the statue of the Viking "Gange-Rolf" who sailed from Ålesund to what is today Normandy (France), named after the Norwegian settlers. From the park, you could choose to continue to ascend mount Aksla, where your will be rewarded for your efforts with a spectacular view. Or you could wander about in the park or just sit and have a rest before the return to the pier and your ship.
- This tour involves approximately 2 miles (3 km) of walking over even, paved and cobblestone surfaces with inclines. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and protect yourself from the rain. This tour will operate in all weather conditions. A parent must accompany children under the age of 16. The tour is limited to 50 participants.

Giske & Godoy islands
From the pier, you will start the tour heading westward to one of the several islands stretching out into the ocean. Thanks to new bridges and one of the longest submarine tunnels in the world, islands are easily accessible. After a 15-minute drive, you will reach Giske Island, which had a unique position during the Viking period.
The famous Gange - Rolv, or Rollo, was born on Giske. This great warrior conquered Normandie in 911 and became the ancestor of William the Conqueror, sire to the English Royal Family. The old marble church at Giske was built as a family chapel for one of most powerful families. The church is built in the Norman style and is a typical product of the architecture prior to 1200. In 1756 the church was restored. The local artist Jacob S. Giskegaard created the new interior including a new pulpit, and a new alter piece.
Continue your visit proceeding to Godoy Island and Alnes village located on the seaside. You will see a typical fishing village with a well-preserved and picturesque architecture. Its main attraction is its lighthouse. You will get the opportunity to climb up its stairs (87 steps) to enjoy a beautiful look-out to the Atlantic Ocean and the surroundings islands.
Then, you will return to the city center and make a visit to Borgund Church, also known as St Peter’s Church. After a fire in 1904 the church was rebuilt in the Roman style. Part of the church is from the old St Peter's Church from around 1100. The stone alter is from Medieval times and also worth mentioning are the beautiful wood carvings.
After this visit, you will return to your ship.
- For this excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). Please note the church may be visited from exterior only due to ecumenical services.
