Majestic mountains, wondrous waterfalls and pretty ports vie for your attention when you sail along Norway’s corrugated coast. Its cities are compact gems of history and culture, its tiny villages burst with character, and its natural attractions are truly stupendous. Highlights include Bergen, a European City of Culture with opportunities for adventure in the heart of Norway’s fjords; and Hellesylt, a Viking village in a spectacular location. And you still have the gravity-defying Pulpit Rock to look forward to at the end!
