Itinerary
Kiel
The picturesque port city is best known for the Kiel Canal and the unique sailing event "Kiel Week". However, Kiel has much more to offer: Stroll through the pretty port city and enjoy the maritime flair!
Embarkation 15:00 to 17:00.
Kristiansand (Norway)
Palm trees in Norway? They really do exist - on the sandy beach in Kristiansand. The capital of the Sørlandet region is surrounded by water on three sides. Kristiansand was built on a spit of sand. Discover the "Pearl of Southern Norway" on a scenic drive. Or visit the Vest-Adger open-air museum. For the more adventurous, take a trip along the coast on a RIB boat.
Day 3
Recreation at sea.
Geiranger
The way to the enchanting Norwegian town of Geiranger leads you through the 15-kilometer-long, legendary Geirangerfjord. Cascades of water cascade down from vertically sloping walls, billowing veils of mist form on the cliffs and mighty mountains tower up on both shores - you will never forget this unique natural experience!
Maloy
The charming town of Måløy has just under 3,000 inhabitants, but is an important export port for fish - around 180,000 tons are sent all across the world from here every year. The region is also famous for its numerous lighthouses, the charming town center of Måløy and the Kannestein - a rock that has been shaped by the sea over thousands of years. Jostedalsbreen Nature Park is also not far away, home to the largest glacier in continental Europe.
Bergen (Norway)
Bergen combines 900 years of history with the youthful ambience of a student city. With its seven mountains, bays and peninsulas, Bergen was once a center of the Hanseatic League. Traces of this past can still be found today - most clearly in the old merchants' quarter of Bryggen, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you walk on planks through the labyrinth of narrowly built counting houses and warehouses with their beams and cornices.
Day 7
Recreation at sea.
Kiel
The picturesque port city is best known for the Kiel Canal and the unique sailing event "Kiel Week". However, Kiel has much more to offer: Stroll through the pretty port city and enjoy the maritime flair!
