Description:

Cruise with PONANT on an exceptional itinerary and discover the beauty of the Norwegian fjords.Come aboard the Le Champlain for an 8-day cruise and sail along the Norwegian coastline, whose vertiginous cliff faces have been sculpted by the wind and the sea, giving rise to many unspoiled fjords.From Bergen, famous for its Hanseatic wharf which still carries a few traces of the rich historic past of the city founded by the Vikings, you will set sail for the small town of Alesund, where you will be able to admire magnificent examples of Art Nouveau architecture.Hellesylt will be an opportunity to discover the face of traditional Norway in an enchanting setting imbued with serenity.From the small and charming village of Olden, located a few kilometres from Jostedalsbreen National Park, which is home to one of the last ice caps in Europe, you will have the opportunity to admire the magnificent Briksdal glacier.You will also visit Stavanger, a cosmopolitan and prosperous small town with a perfectly balanced blend of old and new. During your stopover, walk the paved streets and admire the wonderfully preserved fishermen's houses that date from the 18th century. During your cruise, you will have the privilege of sailing in the famous 'Lysefjord' (fjord of light), flanked by granite cliffs. Arendal, once known as the Venice of the North because of its canals, will be an utterly charming port of call.On the final leg of your trip you will call at Gothenburg, in Sweden.
