Stavanger is Norway’s fourth-largest city and has a combination of new and old historic influences. Stroll through the brightly coloured streets of Stavanger and pop into some of the boutiques, cafes, and galleries. It is the southern most place to start cruising the fjords, and also home to Norway’s oldest cathedral, Utstein Monastery, a medieval monastery that was once home to the Viking King Harald Fairhair. Nearby you have a mountain named Pulpit Rock, made famous by Tom Cruise when he climbed it in Mission Impossible.
After an overnight cruise, start the morning in the tiny village of Akra where you will meet your companions for the morning, sturdy ponies and horses. Ride through the islands and along steep paths by the water, in sight of your vessel as she waits for you at anchor. Return to your vessel and spend the afternoon cruising along the fjord. Enjoy the toys onboard or simply relax as you watch the world pass by from the sundeck.
Leave the yacht at anchor and take a heli in the morning to Spurkeland Viking Farm & Village. Discover the storied history of Norwegian adventurers, learning traditional handicrafts, axe throwing, Viking fighting techniques and how to row and sail a Viking longship.

Enjoy an authentic Viking lunch in the longhouse, then heli to Osfossen river to try your hand at salmon fishing in the fjord. Return to relax onboard after a busy day immersing yourself in Norwegian historic culture.
Bergen is known as the Gateway to the Fjords and another perfect place to start a charter through the fjords. The city is warmer than you may expect and it is known for the amount of rain which it receives. The city’s name comes from the word for mountain and there are some hot spots you must visit, two of the best being Mount Floyen and the Funicular, and Mount Ulriken and its Cable Car. Linking the two Mounts is the Vidden Trail, which will give you wonderful viewing opportunities one after the other.
The city has a number of places of cultural interest, including Bryggen, the Hanseatic Wharf and a UNESCO Heritage Site, a museum, galleries, speciality museums like Kode and Troldhaugen, the home of the composer Edvard Grieg, the Bergen aquarium and others. Other interesting activities include forest tours, jet-boating, a guided tour to Nærøyfjorden, Flåm and Stegastein, a trip on the Bergen Railway.
Bergen is a UNESCO City of gastronomy and you will find a wide range of cuisines. Why not pay a visit to the Fish Market which has been there for more than eight hundred years. Here you will find seafood aplenty as well as many local dishes.
Sail to Sognefjord, the longest fjord in Norway which is also a UNESCO world heritage attraction. Cruise into the fiord and stop along the way at Hopperstad church, built in 1130 this elaborately carved wooden church is a superb example of medieval architecture. For the keen fishermen, between Bergen and Sognefjord it is known to have great deep sea fishing.
Sognefjord is also paradise of land exploration, with the region noted for its wide range of berries, fruit, lamb, game and mountain trout .Take a seaplane down the UNESCO protected Nærøyfjord to witness its steep mountainsides, hanging valleys, scenic forests and towering waterfalls. Head inland to hike across Jostedalsbreen National Park where you will hike from lush valleys to bare mountains before making your way across sections of the glacier itself. For those that do not hike the glacier, fly to meet the rest of the group on the ice to enjoy a picnic in the sunshine.
Another overnight cruise through the fiords will see you watching the cliffs fall away over breakfast as you arrive to Maloy.
In the morning, tender to shore and pick up E-Bikes and your guide for a spectacular coastal journey along the famous Atlantic Highway. Stroll through fertile farmlands and fruit trees, stopping for tastings of fresh cider, jams and lemonades with the artisans who produce the goods of the region. Hike up Mount Veten, the highest point of the island of Vågsøy for spectacular panoramic views across the Fjords. Here is also the perfect place to chill out and enjoy some fishing in the cod and herring rich waters. Alternatively, take a trip to one of the beautiful beaches where you can swim and sunbathe usually without too much crowding.
If you feel like eating out, there is nothing like the local seafood, prepared in many different ways, to satisfy anyone’s appetite, or have the crew prepare a beach bonfire with a BBQ under the stars.
Enjoy another night of motoring along the spectacular coastline, and wake in UNESCO protected region of Geirangerfjord, one of the most beautiful fjords on earth. The water is deep and the surrounding mountains are high, about 1,700 metres in fact.
