MSC Fantasia

Fancy rounding off your time in Norway with a look at Bergen from a unique waterside perspective? Then join this enjoyable outing and board a rigid inflatable boat - RIB - to explore Bergen's harbour and adjoining fjords. A short walk from the pier will see you reach the RIB landing stage, where you will then be issued with gear and given a short safety briefing. Once on board, keep your camera at hand to capture splendid views at various scenic spots, where stops will be made, and brief information provided by your captain. This celebration of western Norway's awe-inspiring landscape then draws to a close with your return to Bergen and your ship.

Add a certain highlight to your cruise, earn yourself a few bragging rights and prepare to soak up the fabulous panorama of Norway's naturescape on a 30-minute helicopter flight over Bergen and its surrounding area. A minivan transfer will first see you reach the helicopter pad for an initial briefing on your flight. Then, with your earphones on, you'll take to the skies. See how Bergen is cradled in between the hills, mountains, and North Sea as you fly over the city centre, then on to the neighbouring mountains and fjords. Weather permitting, you may even get to catch sight of a glacier in the distance. Keep your camera poised throughout the amazing flight to capture every second for posterity and to share with people at home. Once you return to the ground, the minivan will be waiting to return to you the ship.

Norway's second city has undergone various transformations over its 900 years of history. On this tour, see for yourself how the Black Plague, fires, politics, and industry have shaped beautiful Bergen. After leaving the pier, you'll pass the 13th-century Haakon's Hall and the Rosenkrantz Tower en route to Bryggen, the historic Hanseatic Wharf, an area once devastated by fire but later rebuilt and now bustling with life. Continue past the fish market towards Magic Ice, a wondrous art gallery experience. Both the sculpture exhibition and the interior design are made of clear ice! Enjoy a drink served in a glass chipped out of an ice block while exploring this magical world. Then drive past the picturesque houses of the Nordnes peninsula, on to the main sights in the city centre and down the city's oldest street. Finally, travel through the historic Sandviken and Skuteviken districts, with their tiny, white-painted, traditional wooden houses and colourful warehouses along the waterfront.

See the sights in comfort on this coach tour through Bergen, which was the largest city in Norway until 1830. Relax into your seat as you pass the main sights including the historic Bryggen district, with its gabled wooden warehouses from the hanseatic period and Haakons Hall, erected during the reign of King Haakon Haakonsson (1247-1261) and the most important building of the royal residence in the XIII century. Drive past Rosenkratz Tower, built in the XIII century and rebuilt around 1560 as a combined fortress and residence. We will also admire St. Mary's Church, dating back to the XII century, and splendidly Grieg Hall concert hall, home to the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.

Pass through the historic Bryggen and Hanseatic district before heading to the village of Voss. This popular winter resort is set by a tranquil lake. A train will take you through pastoral countryside and up to Myrdal, in the mountains; here we will board the Flam Line, one of the most spectacular railroads in Europe. Upon arrival in Flam that lies on Norways longest fjord (204 km), the Sognafjord, you will have a short presentation about the village before continuing to Stalheimskleivene zigzag road. Next, enjoy a lunch served in a nearby hotel. Your afternoon tour will continue by bus to Tvinde Waterfalls for a brief but worthwhile photo stop! Return to Bergen via Voss.

Leave the port and travel out of town across a variety of landscapes and passing the villages of Eikelandsosen and Mundheim on the way to Nordheimsund. This is the place where you will stop for a pleasant coffee break and a typical Norwegian pastry. Next, it will time to take photos at the Steindalsfossen waterfall  one can apparently walk behind it without getting wet! Having passed the Kvamskogen Mountain Plateau, we descend towards the Tokagjelet Gorge. With its many chalets and summerhouses, Kvamskogen is a popular leisure area for Bergen locals. The tour continues with more scenic drives passing small forests: these landscapes are typical of western Norway, as small farms are dotted across the steep hillsides. Your return to Bergen will pass through mountain lakes and several suburban villages. Once arrived in Bergen get your bearings with a short guided tour past the fish market, the Bergenhus Fortress and the Rosenkrantz Tower before returning to the ship.

Experience the city of Bergen and its stunning fjord from the sea and enjoy delicious local seafood in these beautiful surroundings on board the M/S Bruvik. Walk from the pier to Bryggen and admire the old merchant buildings rebuilt like they stood in the Middle Ages after a disastrous fire struck the area. The whole area is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Stroll through the narrow alleyways running between the rows of houses to the city centre and the Fish Market where you will board the venerable M/S Bruvik. Enjoy the 90-minute cruise through Vågen Bay and out into the Byfjorden, the bay of Eidsvågen with its beautiful fjord and mountain views, before turning around to cruise past AskøyIsland, and then heading back to the Fish Market. During the cruise, you will taste a varied seafood buffet focused on local, natural and fresh seafood including sushi, sashimi, fish soup, lobster soup, caviar, hot smoked salmon, baked code and salmon, mussels steamed in white wine and much more. After this fantastic experience, you will return to the port and your guide will bring you back to the ship.

See the best of Copenhagen on two wheels with a little help from a pedelec, an electrically powered bicycle that assists you up to 25 km/h while you pedal. The city boasts a superb network of cycle paths, making it easy to get around to all the main sights. Your route first takes you through the park of the old citadel, Kastellet, and the Rosenborg garden en route to Sortedams Lake. From there, cycle to the zoological garden, where you can enjoy a short break to look around. Then it's back to the city centre, passing the Planetarium, the famous Tivoli Amusement Park, and the Town Hall Square. Enjoy another break independently exploring Copenhagen's historic inner city ("Indre By" in Danish). Your cycling ruote then proceeds past the Round Tower and Christiansborg Palace, then on to the new Nyhavn Harbor and the Amalienborg Palace. On your way back to the ship, you'll have time for a final photo stop in front of the world-famous statue of the Little Mermaid.

What better way to discover Copenhagen than by bicycle, the city's number 1 means of transport! The excellent cycle path network invites you to explore the sights by bike  and they come thick and fast. The tour begins with a cycle through the mighty Kastellet fortifications and the Rosenborg Castle garden to Sortedams Lake. You'll continue past the Planetarium, the famous Tivoli Amusement Park, and the Town Hall Square. Then enjoy a break in the medieval Indre By ("inner city") district, exploring Copenhagen's historic centre by yourself. After your break, cycle past the Round Tower, Christiansborg Palace, the new Nyhavn Harbor and Amalienborg Palace. Finally, before returning to your vessel, you will of course pass the most famous symbol of Copenhagen: Lille Havfrue, the Little Mermaid.

Embark yourself in this lovely exploration while enjoying at your leisure three of the main sightseeing spots in Copenhagen. Leave the pier by coach and drive directly to the Little Mermaid where you will have approx. 30 minutes to admire the beauty of Denmark's most iconic landmark, followed by a short drive to Amalienborg, current residence of the Danish Royal Family with another approx. 30 minutes to explore this exclusive quarter. To top off this experience, you will reach Nyhavn, a beautiful picturesque canal district filled with history and a wide variety of cafés, bars, and restaurants. Enjoy some more 30 minutes' strolling this area, an absolute favorite of both tourists and locals. Next, you may opt to return to the pier or to stay in town on your own, taking the shuttle service for a later return to the port; a stop is located only 7 minutes walk from Nyhavn. This canal district is situated at the heart of Copenhagen from where you can reach within 5 minutes' walk Strøget, the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe, crossing the entire city center and leading you all the way to other main spots of the city such as the Nørreport quarter and the City Town Hall Square.

This short, but informative city tour starts with a drive to one of Copenhagen's symbols, the statue of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid. It was commissioned in honour of the fairytale by the founder of a Danish beer brand in 1909. Although only small in stature, the mermaid is beautifully sculpted and well worth a snapshot or two. Copenhagen's stunning waterfront and the canal district in Nyhavn comes next, home to a plethora of fashionable cafés, bars, and restaurants. Next to the harbour's many historical ships, the quarter is also known for its brightly coloured 17th- and early 18th-century buildings. Enjoy a guided walk through this lively quarter before boarding the coach again and continue your sightseeing tour of the city passing by the Christiansborg Palace, the Old Stock Exchange, Tivoli Gardens and the City Hall Square where a photo stop is scheduled. Located at the southwestern end of the pedestrian street Strøget, it is one of the large squares of the city flanked by notable buildings including the City Hall, the Politikens Hus - the headquarters of the national daily newspapers Politiken - and Industriens Hus, the headquarters of the Confederation of Danish Industry. After taking a look around the square and taking some photographs of the many sculptures, board the coach again and pass by Nørreport Station and Rosenborg Castle en route to Amalienborg Palace. A final stop outside the Royal Family's winter residence concludes your tour.

This eco-adventure begins with a visit to an urban rooftop gym in the newly developed Nordhavn area, before moving to Saint Kjled's Square for an introduction to Copenhagen's Climate-Resilient Neighbourhood, a beacon for how Denmark creates the climate-change-adapted urban spaces of the future. Next up is a guided visit to ØsterGRO, the first rooftop farm in Denmark, established in 2014 on top of an old car-auction house in the heart of the Climate-Resilient Neighbourhood. The farm covers 600 m² with fields of organic vegetables, herbs and edible flowers, a greenhouse, a henhouse and 3 beehives, selling its produce to 40 members who each pay for a share of the harvest. Your tour continues to The Wave - an urban hangout at the former industrial harbour, where you can enjoy a guided walk along the capital's waterfront, all the way to the sustainable Royal Playhouse with its new drainage system. Finally, enjoy some free time around the Nyhavn area before your transfer back to the pier.

Explore the highlights of the Finnish capital and the nearby Lake District on a pedelec, an electrically assisted bicycle that helps you travel at up to 25 km/h while pedalling. Leaving Helsinki behind, you'll first cycle westward along the coast. On your journey through the Finnish countryside, you'll get an intimate impression of the wonderful landscape. Continue to the museum island Seurasaari and the Sibelius monument. Then once back in Helsinki, you'll cycle past the Olympic Stadium and the Finnish icebreaker fleet towards the Uspenski Cathedral.

After you arrive at the Esplanadii promenade, you can take a longer break to admire the Havis Amanda statue or explore the market on your own. Finally, your tour draws to a close as you cycle comfortably along the coast and back to your ship.

Why not opt for a different kind of sightseeing tour and join us on circuit of Helsinki by bike! We will take in the best of this beautiful city, passing the most important sights and enjoying a cycle ride through the city's leafy parks, past the main museums and along the sea front. Accompanied by a guide, we will make several stops en route, enabling you to learn more about the history and the culture of Helsinki. Pass Mannerheim Street, Helsinki's main thoroughfare, and a quick tour past the Market Square and the Finlandia Hall.

Enrich your visit to Helsinki with this fabulous 4D flying experience, followed by a trip to chocolate heaven! Your half-day outing in Helsinki will begin with a coach drive to the Market Square, from where you'll proceed to the nearby theatre for an unforgettable 10-minute 4D flight over the most beautiful landmarks and historic places of Helsinki. Your coach tour will then continue to the neo-classical Senate Square, surrounded by the mid-19th century public buildings built in the old city centre.

You'll also have time to explore the shop and purchase some sweet gifts to take back home.

A great program for families and animal lovers! Experience a touch of northern magic at the Nuuksio reindeer park which is Finlands southernmost place where you can see and feed reindeers: these animals live in Nuuksio all year round. After a 45-minute coach drive from Helsinki, you will reach the park where you can feed the reindeers, take pictures or just observe these unique animals. Coffee, tea/juice and buns will be served over an open fire in an atmospheric Lappish kota (tepee), furnished with rustic wooden tables and benches, just like in Lapland.

Treat yourself to a taste of rural life and a chance to see the main sights of Helsinki on a half-day tour dedicated to presenting some of the best Finland has to offer. Situated only a short drive to the east of Helsinki in the middle of the unspoiled countryside, the Savijärvi Manor House will transport you back to the time of its construction in the late 19th century. Soak up the calming ambience, see how life was lived many moons ago and savour a refreshing cup of coffee or tea. Leaving the tranquillity of Savijärvi behind, your next destination will then be Helsinki itself. Look forward to a panoramic city round-up that includes such iconic landmarks as Mannerheim Street, Helsinkis main thoroughfare, the parliament buildings and the main open-air marketplace at the aptly named Market Square. A short stop will be made at Senate Square in the centre of Helsinkis oldest quarter for you to enjoy views of Helsinki Cathedral in the background and of the popular monument to the Russian czar, Alexander II. Your outing then ends with your return to the pier and your ship. Please note: this tour is not suitable for guests using a wheelcha

Considering some 73% of the total surface area covered by the Finnish capital is water - interspersed with countless larger and smaller islands - it seems fair to say Helsinki is a rather watery city. In addition, this relaxing outing gives you a chance to board a pleasure boat, cruise through the archipelago and simply enjoy all the beautiful views. The route taken around Helsinki's urban islands will take you past amazing waterfront saunas and opulent villas amid stunning natural beauty, all accompanied by a refreshing cup of coffee and an entertaining narrative on Helsinki's history provided by your friendly guide. Once your pleasure cruise has ended, a stop will be made at an open-air market for a chance to stroll through the colourful stalls. Your return to the ship then ends your tour.

Whatever the season, this half-day tour gives you a chance to visit the amazing, year-round Winter Wonderland Experience in the middle of the Finnish capital city. Only a short coach ride after leaving the ship will see you reach Winter Wonderland open throughout the year, complete with a huge ice bar and opportunities for husky sledging, tandem skiing and tobogganing. On arrival, you will be kitted out with thermal over-clothes, after which you will move on to visit some igloos, have a drink served in a glass made of ice and view the frosty decorations. However, you will also get to have a go at tobogganing, sledging and tandem skiing, to meet the friendly huskies and enjoy a short dog-powered sledge ride. There'll be time for you to look for a Lappish souvenir before you move on to a sightseeing drive around Helsinki. Enjoy a photo stop at Senate Square before returning to the ship.

Step off the ship for a couple of hours and instead board a rigid inflatable boat - RIB for short - to soak up amazing views of Norway's six longest fjord, Nordfjorden, and enjoy a delicious crayfish treat as well. A quick safety briefing will precede your RIB adventure, which will take you through the fjords en route to the spot where the crayfish pots were set. If you're up for a hands-on experience, have a go at pulling the pots out of the water yourself. On reaching the shore, you'll then get to prepare and cook the catch on an open fire in a traditional Sami tent called a lavvu. And as the proof of any pudding is in the eating, you'll naturally be able to enjoy the freshly caught and cooked crayfish along with some bread and mayonnaise. The outing then wraps up with your return cruise to Olden.

The village of Olden is scenically set on the shores of Innvikfjorden, an extension of Nordfjorden, at the mouth of the Oldeelva River, whose salmon-rich waters flow from the lake of Oldevatnet. With Olden as your starting point, this half-day outing will first take you up to the Briksdal Valley to reach the mountain lodge at the edge of the Briksdal Glacier, an arm of the Jostedal Glacier, the largest in mainland Europe. Leaving the coach at the lodge, you will then take a riverside path to walk to the glacier, with views of waterfalls cascading down the steep mountainside to enjoy on the way. The final part of the walk will take you over a moraine, a collection of rocks, boulders and other debris left by glacial drift, to reach a small lake dotted with ice floes. Photo moments are numerous on the route, so do bring your camera along for the trip. On your return to the lodge, you will be welcomed with coffee or tea and homemade cake, after which you will return to Olden and your ship.

A day of unmatched scenery awaits you on this largely coach-based tour, beginning with a drive through the interesting villages of Stryn and Loen - home to some of Norway's oldest farms - en route to Hornindalsvatnet, Europe's deepest lake.
