Uncover Hidden Gems of History on a Norway Cruise

You’ll have ample opportunity to discover Norway and the Nordic & Viking history on your cruise. Alesund, one of the region’s most beautiful towns, is now renowned for its Jugend-style architecture and art nouveau style, but was first established as a wealthy Viking trade area. Tour the city’s historical churches or reel in a grand adventure in what is considered the country’s fishing capital. Or explore Geiranger – a quaint village nestled in a lush valley. Derived from the Old Norse word Geirangr, visitors come here from all over the world to explore the sprawling farms, local fjords and the mythic "Seven Sisters" waterfalls. In Oslo, learn more about the region’s historic roots with a visit to the Viking Ships Museum, which includes three well-preserved Viking-era burial ships.
