Prehistoric inlets carved by mighty icebergs. Waterfalls cascading from high above. Isolated houses adding colourful reflections to the water’s edge. Sights such as these are exactly why people choose to cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. It’s the only way to see them in all their true majesty.Join Artemis for a magical 15 nights cruising the fjords and Iceland. On your way to Norway, enjoy a short stop in the medieval city of Bruges to pick up delicious chocolates and exquisite lace. Step back in time at Stavanger’s 11th century cathedral and picturesque cobbled streets before calling at Eidfjord, where the glorious scenery continues along the banks of the Eid River. In picturesque Bergen, the skyline is dominated by dramatic Mount Ulriken, while a day in Alesund provides the perfect opportunity to explore the city centre, spanning the islands of Aspøy and Nørvøy. From here, Iceland beckons. Visits to both Akureyri, Isafjordur and Reykjavik offer a unique insight into life in the far north. And as Artemis heads home, experience a little of the Irish ‘craic’ with stops at both Greencastle and laid-back Dublin. You’ll have time to indulge further in the delights of Artemis with a leisurely sail back to Southampton.
On this cruise, you’ll be offered an exclusive chance to take part in creative workshops and hear Tate experts give you a fascinating insight into the lives of leading 20th century artists.
