Your adventure begins at the port of Southampton. Step on board the stylish Iona, settle into your cabin, and explore the incredible array of venues as the ship sets sail for the spectacular waters of Norway.

Day 2 – At Sea

A relaxing day at sea gives you the perfect opportunity to familiarise yourself with the ship’s world-class facilities. Grab a sun lounger under the glass dome of the SkyDome, indulge in a spot of retail therapy, or enjoy a panoramic view of the open ocean from the Grand Atrium.

Day 3 – Stavanger, Norway

Known as the “Cradle of the Vikings,” Stavanger offers an enchanting mix of ancient heritage and modern culture. Wander through the cobbled streets of the historic old quarter, lined with beautifully preserved 19th-century white wooden houses, or discover the majestic 12th-century cathedral. For the ultimate view, take an excursion to the iconic Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), which hangs an incredible 1,800 feet above the shimmering Lysefjord.

Day 4 – Ålesund, Norway

Rebuilt in a distinct, uniform style following a major fire in 1904, Ålesund is celebrated as one of Europe’s most beautiful Art Nouveau cities. Spread across several coastal islands, the town boasts a striking silhouette of turrets, spires, and ornamental carvings. Take a stroll to admire the fairy-tale architecture, visit the open-air Sunnmøre Museum, or climb the stairs up Mount Aksla for a panoramic sweeping view across the surrounding Sunnmøre Alps.

Day 5 – Olden & Scenic Cruising (Innvikfjorden & Nordfjord)

Nestled peacefully at the edge of the Nordfjord, the idyllic village of Olden is surrounded by towering mountains and glacial lakes. This is your gateway to the breathtaking Briksdal Glacier, where you can watch waterfalls cascade down ancient rock faces. After a day of exploration on land, return to the ship for a spellbinding afternoon of scenic cruising through the tranquil reaches of Innvikfjorden and the wider Nordfjord.

Day 6 – Haugesund, Norway

Step back into the historic homeland of Norway’s early Viking kings. Haugesund offers a wonderful blend of rugged natural coastline and cultural charm, boasting one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in the country. You can dive into history at the nearby Nordvegen History Centre, visit the historic St Olav’s Church, or take an active outdoor excursion to the dramatic Langfoss waterfall.

Day 7 – At Sea

Your final day on board is all about relaxation. Relive your favourite fjord memories over a leisurely lunch, treat yourself to a premium evening at one of the speciality restaurants like Epicurean or Sindhu, and celebrate your final night at sea with a spectacular stage show.
