Day One
Travel to Leith to board Discovery, as she prepares to sail early this evening.
Day Two
Today is spent at sea.
Day Three
Today, Discovery arrives in picturesque Romsdalfjord. Join our shore excursion at Andalsnes, and see the spectacular scenery of the region, including the vertiginous Trollstigen (Troll's Ladder), a breathtaking road at the head of the Valldal valley. From Andalsnes, there may be a chance to visit the famous wooden Rodven stave church in its dreamy setting beside the fjord.
Day Four
Today's call is at Olden. This is the stopping-off point for a trip through the beautiful surrounding countryside to the famous Briksdal Glacier, part of the vast Jostedalsbreen ice-pack, which broods over the eastern reaches of the fjord.
Day Five
Discovery navigates through the narrow fingers of mighty Sognefjord, the world's largest and deepest, to Flam, set in one of the fjord's most remote corners. From here, you might board the world-famous Flamsbana Mountain Railway for the unforgettable six-mile climb down to Myrdal, before Discovery cruises through wondrously scenic Naeroyfjord.
Day Six
Discovery makes her way into Hardangerfjord. In this stunning landscape, sheer mountainsides plunge into still waters. Discovery calls at Eidfjord, at the eastern end of the fjord. Here, you can go ashore to enjoy an overland excursion through the beautiful surrounding countryside to the famous Voringfossen waterfalls.
Day Seven
A final day is spent at sea, cruising home.
Day Eight
Discovery arrives back in Leith at the end of a simply wonderful cruise.
