Aboard Silver Dawn with Silversea
Cruise Overview
Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting.
There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic wharf, known as Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade.
As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Our comprehensive selection of excursions allows you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as stunning views of the city from the summit of Mt Fløyen.
Alternatively, those who have visited the city previously may like to experience one of the tours that travel further afield.
Just 300 yards from the main piers, you will find the Fortress Museum (Fesningsmuseum), which has an interesting collection of objects related to World War II.
The coastal town of Ålesund is the commercial capital of the Møre og Romsdal district.
But more important, it is noted for its characteristic Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) buildings, which some claim make Ålesund one of the most beautiful towns in Norway.
This Art Nouveau style emerged when the town was completely rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1904 destroyed nearly 800 buildings and left 10,000 residents homeless.
It is said that the fire started by a tipped oil lamp.
Rebuilding was carried out with the help of many young, foreign architects who added their own flourishes to the architectural blend of German Jugendstil and Viking roots.
Today, narrow streets are crammed with buildings topped with turrets, spires and gables that bear decorations of dragonheads and curlicues.
As one of the few remaining Art Nouveau towns in the world, in 1998 Ålesund was awarded the coveted Houens National Memorial Prize for the preservation of its unique architecture.
One of Scandinavia's oldest cities, Trondheim was the first capital of Norway, from AD 997 to 1380.
Founded in 997 by Viking king Olav Tryggvason, it was first named Nidaros (still the name of the cathedral), a composite word referring to the city's location at the mouth of the Nidelva River.
Today, it's Central Norway's largest (and Norway's third largest) city, with a population of 150,000.
The wide streets of the historic city center remain lined with brightly painted wood houses and striking warehouses.
But it's no historic relic: it's also the home to NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and is Norway's technological capital.
