Once to the North Cape and back

15 days | Hamburg • Bergen • Holandsfjord • Lofoten • North Cape • Harstad • Nordfjordeid • Stavanger • Kiel

You may have already read, seen and heard a lot about Norway's west coast. But no media in the world can really convey to you what it's like to travel here on a comparatively small cruise ship like the VASCO DA GAMA. You simply have to experience it for yourself! And so that you can collect memories for eternity, we take plenty of time for this. This applies to the Cruise Days in Hamburg as well as to the rest of the journey. From Bergen, the journey continues northwards. You will get to know the "black ice" of the Svartisen glacier and immerse yourself in the remoteness of the Lofoten Islands. Marvel at the North Cape on land and at sea and listen to the endless silence of several fjords.
