Cruise Overview

By the 11th century, Copenhagen was already an important trading and fishing centre and today you will find an attractive city which, although the largest in Scandinavia, has managed to retain its low-level skyline.

Discover some of the famous attractions including Gefion Fountain and Amalienborg Palace, perhaps cruise the city’s waterways, visit Rosenborg Castle or explore the medieval fishing village of Dragoer.

Once the home of Hans Christian Andersen, Copenhagen features many reminders of its fairytale heritage and lives up to the reputation immortalised in the famous song ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’.
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.
At 68 degrees North, Narvik lies 140 miles inside the Arctic Circle.

Its history as a settlement began in the Stone Age, and Vikings are also known to have lived in the area.

The modern town came into existence in the 1870s to serve the needs of the iron industry.

Iron ore is mined in neighbouring Sweden and, as an ice-free port, Narvik was chosen as the ideal export location.

The LKAB mining corporation is still a major employer and landowner in the area, shipping some 25,000,000 tons of iron ore from the port annually.

This industrial heritage has shaped the town and now forms the basis of some of its most popular tourist attractions.

In 1883 a co-owned British-Swedish company was given permission to build a railway connecting the Swedish iron mines in Kiruna to Narvik.

It opened in 1902 and the town, then christened Victoriahavn, grew up around it.

Unfortunately much of Narvik was destroyed in World War II.

Invaded by the Nazis on 9 April 1940, it was later retaken by the Allies, representing the first military defeat of Hitler’s troops, but was evacuated as part of Operation Alphabet when it came under German occupation again.

The local war museum documents the turbulent history of this period.
