MSC Cruises

MSC Euribia

This tour is made easier by riding a pedelec  an electrically powered bicycle which assists the rider's pedal power at speeds of up to 25 km/h. The city of Ålesund is a wonderland of fjords, mountains, and island chains. These features make it ideal for exploration by pedelec. Leaving the port, you'll ride through Ålesund and over bridges to the residential areas of the pretty island of Hessa with its enchanting observation point. Your tour will then take you on to the Aksla mountain behind the town, offering spectacular views of its colourful historic houses and the sea with its many islands. The return route will see you cycling through a series of typical villages on your way back to Ålesund, where a break will allow you to explore the city before going back to your ship.

Ålesund is a charming island town set against an awe-inspiring canvas of mountains, fjords, and sea. And the best way of seeing all the scenery close-up is on two wheels. After collecting your bike at the port, you'll follow your guide past the flamboyant Art Nouveau and mock-Gothic buildings, which stand testament to the rebirth of the town after the devastating fire of 1904. Once you've admired the unusual architecture, you'll take the picturesque coastal road and bridge to Heissa. This lovely, village-dotted island is crowned by Sukkertoppen or "Sugar Loaf Top" mountain, which towers over 300 metres above the sea. Capture the panoramic views on camera before returning to Ålesund and climbing the Aksla mountain behind the town for a different perspective. At the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over the town and surrounding archipelago. After drinking in the scenery, you'll have a final chance to stroll around the old town and snap up some souvenirs before returning to your ship.

Board a private chartered boat to explore one of the gems of Norway's fjords, heading inland from Ålesund. Built on several islands stretching out into the ocean, the town of Ålesund boasts a beautiful setting. A large part of the town was destroyed by fire in 1904 then rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style popular in the first decade of the 20th-century. A short walk will take you to the sightseeing boat that will host you on your cruise up the 33km-long Hjørundfjord. The fjord is considered one of the most magnificent in Norway. It is around 440 metres deep and surrounded on both sides by numerous mountain peaks, some rising up to around 1.700 metres above sea level. Returning from Hjørundfjord, the boat will continue through Vegsundet and Borgundfjord back to Ålesund, where a short walk will take you back to the ship.

This tour will take you to see Alesund, a town founded in 1793 and now one of the most important seaports in Norway. A fire devastated the town in 1904 that destroyed the city centre. However, the town literally rose up like a Phoenix from the ashes and was beautifully rebuilt in art nouveau style. Today, Ålesund is one of the world's few art nouveau towns that have succeeded in retaining their architectural integrity. Your guide will take you on an enjoyable sightseeing tour of the city, visiting an open-air museum and a unique local boat collection. You will also have a stop to admire the exterior of Ålesund Church, the biggest one in Ålesund, built in concrete and Norwegian marble with beautiful decorated stained-glass windows.

Climb onto a paddleboard and join the vibrant heart of life in Ålesund from an original perspective. As you'll discover, the city's historic "main street" is actually a stretch of water: the narrow Brosundet (Bridge Sound), which cuts through the heart of the city. Your senses will come alive with the buzz, aromas and the pastel colours of the Art Nouveau facades adorning the city's main artery. As your paddle slices through the crystal-clear water, you'll pass under bridges while waving to the friendly faces adorning the sound. Leaving the sound, the endless horizon of the Borgund Fjord's opens up before you, revealing Sula Mountain and the Sunnmøre Alps. Sitting low in the water and gazing up at this magnificent picture is a humbling experience even for the most seasoned traveler. Gliding out on Borgund Fjord and discovering Ålesund from the water feels like stepping back in time.

The tour begins with a short sightseeing tour of Alesund, a town that is famed for its beautiful art nouveau buildings. The excursion then continues by taking you through an underwater tunnel to reach Giske Island, a place of importance during the Viking era. The whole island covers an area of just 2.67 square kilometres and was populated by no more than 717 residents in 2010. You will visit Giske Church, a 12th-century Roman marble church on the southern side of the island. Continue on to the island of Godøy and the charming fishing village of Alnes, whose pretty lighthouse safely guides sailors into its Atlantic shores. Your tour concludes with your return to the ship.

Ålesund is the most important town on the northwest coast of Norway, today with a population of approx. 40.000. The setting is superb, built on three islands stretching out into the sea with the spectacular Sunnmoere Alps in the background. Leave the port, board the coach for a short drive to Fagerlia school-centre and to our hike starting point. The experience will be thrilling as we walk along a path just large enough for two people to pass next to the other. Climbing up the ridge of mount Aksla we can enjoy great views on both sides of the hill. To the north we have fjords, islands and in the distance the open sea; to the southeast we have a range of snowclad peaks and the Borgundfjord. We continue along the path that gets a little more strenuous, but well worth the effort! Passing by the so-called "dams"  in former days the town got its drinking water from here  and after approx. 75 minutes walk, we reach the viewpoint and we stop a while to admire the incredible scenery! The last leg of the hike consists of descending the 418 steps to the little park at the foot of mount Aksla. On the way back to our ship, we have the opportunity to admire the special "Art Nouveau" architecture of the town, rebuilt after a disastrous fire swept through the centre in January 1904, destroying almost 800 wooden houses. Finally, we will reach the pier on foot.

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.

Discover Copenhagen and the neighbouring town of Dragør on this enjoyable sightseeing tour, which begins with the main attractions of lovely Copenhagen, the Danish capital, with a first stop at the Little Mermaid, Copenhagen's most iconic landmark. Other places of interest include the stock exchange building and the vibrant canal-side Nyhavn district. After leaving the city, a coach will then take you on an approx. 30-minute drive to Dragør, giving you a chance to get a look at the bridge that connects Denmark with Sweden. Known for its many preserved historical buildings, the old part of Dragør town forms a labyrinth of picturesque alleyways, cobbled streets and traditional brightly painted Danish houses. A drink and a delicious Danish pastry round off your trip to this charming old seafaring town.

Take yourself off the ship for two hours to feast your eyes on Norway's stunning landscape on this boat- and coach-based tour. You'll board a brand-new hybrid vessel  the Vision of the Fjords  in Flåm to then glide through the narrow Nærøyfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Keep your camera at hand to capture the breathtaking scenery, with steep mountains to either side that rise to around 1.800 m above mean sea level. Replete with gushing waterfalls and picturesque villages, this area is one of the loveliest fjordic landscapes on earth. The relaxing 2-hour cruise ends in Gudvangen, where you'll board a coach for the return journey to Flåm and your ship.

The tour begins at Flåm pier and we will drive along the fjord to the village of Aurland. From here, through the longest tunnel in the world, we will continue our journey to Lærdal. The historic heart of Lærdal village is made up of heritage buildings dating back to the XVIII century. Lærdal is renowned for its excellent salmon fishing, with the Lærdal River known as the "Queen of the Salmon Rivers". You will have free time to spend in the village before returning to Flåm along the Snow Road. This takes us high up in the mountains, 1.309 metres above sea level. There will be a short break along the way before we return to the port. During the tour, we will also visit the historic wooden Borgund Stave Church.

The tour starts with a short walk from your ship to the pier located just in front of the railway station. Here you will board the sightseeing boat for a 2-hour pleasure cruise on the Aurlandsfjord and the Nærøyfjord. The cruise covers some of the most beautiful parts of the Sognefjord; we sail past steep, snow-clad mountains, rushing waterfalls and a living cultural landscape before disembarking in Gudvangen. The excursion continues by bus through the narrow and impressive Nærøydalen Valley with more impressive cascades, before arriving at the warm and welcoming Stalheim Hotel, some 1.237 feet above sea level, for coffee. The last part of the tour takes us back through a long valley tunnel, through more mountain sceneries before arriving back at the pier in Flam.

Starting from the pier in Flåm, your tour begins with a drive through Norway's stunning landscape to the village of Gudvangen and continues through a narrow valley to reach Stalheim, home to one of Norway's most spectacular views. Once you have had a chance to relax over pastries and coffee, the coach will take you to the tiny village of Undredal where you will briefly stop for picture taking. Do take your camera to capture the many awe-inspiring views of Norway's ruggedly beautiful and incredibly green countryside on your way back to Flåm and your ship.

After leaving the pier this excursion takes you, through a tunnel, to the village of Gudvangen where we will continue up the Nærøy Valley and on to Tvindefossen Waterfalls where we will make a photostop. "Tvinde" comes from an old Norwegian word meaning "double"; as there are actually two waterfalls that cascade next to each other. We will drive on through more tunnels to the White Cave of Gudvangen where we will trek through the deep caves and along underground pools. The anorthosite, an extraordinary white mineral, is very rare and among a few other places it can be found on the moon! A tour of the white mines is a mixture of music and lights, peace, and harmony. Talking is not allowed as the echo is very strong and even whispering would destroy the effect of the different sounds you are going to hear during the tour. That is also the reason why the floor is carpeted. A tasting in the main hall inside the mines concludes your visit before heading back to Flåm pier.

Once you are ready for the steep roads and mountain tunnels of this region, you can sit back and enjoy the ride through spectacular countryside. Leaving the port of Flåm, we will traverse a long tunnel that takes us to Gudvangen, and the coach will climb through the steep, narrow Nærøy valley. We will stop at the Tvindefossen waterfalls, a twin cascade of two fabulous falls. The excursion continues to the town of Voss, prettily located on the Vangvatnet Lake. We will board a train to continue our outing across a range of stunning natural landscapes, before reaching Myrdal. Here, at 867 metres above sea level, we will change trains and continue down the breathtaking Flåm valley, travelling on the world famous Flåm Line. The train will pass by Kjosfossen waterfall to allow passengers enjoy the lovely view before terminating at Flåm station, on the Sognefjord, from where we can walk back to the ship. Lunch included.

This 30-kilometre guided bike tour gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Flåm's spectacular scenery. You'll pedal along the region's central valley, snaking through soaring mountains and past plunging waterfalls, before continuing alongside the Flåm River. Following the river, you'll reach Flåm's charming little wooden church for a photo break. You'll then have a slight uphill climb to the Brekkefossen Waterfall, which crashes down the side of a leafy gorge. After ample time to admire the amazing views, you'll cycle back down and past the centre of Flåm to continue along the shores of the Aurland Fjord. When you reach picturesque Aurland  a town cocooned by colossal, snow-capped mountains - the tour will stop for a breather before heading to your almost final destination - the Otternes linear collective farmyard. This settlement dates all the way back to 300 A. D., while the first buildings were built around 1700. The cultivated landscape here remains essentially intact, with its hills, stairs, stone walls and wells largely unchanged. Taking advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a final magnificent view of the fjord and ship, you'll head back to the port.

Start the tour with a short walk from the tender pier in Geiranger to board a RIB boat (a safe, rigid inflatable boat) to begin our journey around the magnificent Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will be able to enjoy the true splendour of the unique fjord landscape from the water as we admire the many waterfalls and stunning picture-postcard Nordic landscape. The boat will take you to the end of the Geirangerfjord and all the way to Oaldsbygda; we will sail close to the waterfalls and enjoy great views of the fjord farm where the people of the Geirangerfjord lived and worked a hundred years ago. Have your cameras at the ready, as the RIB-boat will make short stops during the tour at different scenic spots so you can take pictures without leaving the boat. This excursion makes for a really special way to discover the delights of this marvellous fjord from a new and unique perspective.

This exhilarating excursion takes you from Hellesylt to the stunning scenery of the Land of the Trolls. The first sight you'll see is the mighty Hellesylt Waterfall cascading into the fjord. Then you'll proceed along the Sunnylvsfjorden until it joins beautiful Geirangerfjord. After a ferry crossing, drive along the Norddalsfjord, then notice how the scenery changes as you enter the fertile valley of Valldal. There's time for a photo stop at the spectacular Gudbrand gorge before heading up into the mountains, with another stop at the viewpoint overlooking the breathtaking Ister valley. From here, the Trollstigen road descends through a series of amazing hairpin bends. Then cross the Norddalsfjord by ferry to head for Geiranger, stopping at the first of the 11-hairpin bends on the Eagle's Road to enjoy the view. Admire the old farms stubbornly clinging to the rock high above the fjord. Your arrival in Geiranger is heralded by a series of dramatic waterfalls. Lunch is served on route.

Thanks to their outstanding beauty, both the village of Geiranger and the valley are among the most popular holiday resorts in Norway. From Geirangerfjord, savour the scenery of impressive mountains, numerous waterfalls and farms clinging to steep hillsides, all of which give this fjord its unique character. Driving uphill, a short stop will be made at the Flydal Gorge Viewpoint. The top of the gorge is famous for its magnificent view of Geiranger village, the fjord, and surrounding mountains. Winding your way up a series of hairpin bends to Lake Djupvatn, you'll take the fascinating toll road to the summit of Mount Dalsnibba. Enjoy the stunning panorama of mountains, waterfalls, and lakes, for which Norway is so popular. From the wind-worn peak of Mount Dalsnibba it is sometimes possible to see for more than 100 miles (weather-permitting). Not even the pictures shown in tourist brochures of jagged mountains and foaming waterfalls can convey the full impact of the scenery in this area. But have your camera ready anyway to capture the amazing mountainscapes, glaciers and lakes on film and create memories for posterity. You'll have the opportunity to browse the souvenir store found at the peak of Mount Dalsnibba before the return journey to the port.

This enjoyable excursion provides bags of fun for everyone  even if you are new to kayaking. A few minutes' coach drive will take you to the kayak base for a short briefing and for life jackets to be issued to all participants. Once fully kitted out, you will board your kayak and begin to paddle. This is undoubtedly one of the best ways to experience the beauty and magnificence of Geiranger Fjord, with steep mountains and peaks rising all around you, as you slice through the water and pass majestically cascading waterfalls, including the "Seven Sisters" along the way. Your guide will provide information and tell stories of Geiranger and its inhabitants during your trip.
