  1. Day 1

    Hamburg, Germany

    Hamburg rewards visitors who look beyond its grand harbor to discover a city shaped by trade and water. From the Speicherstadt warehouses and canals to the Elbphilharmonie’s sweeping river views, Hamburg pairs historic character with modern ambition. Stroll around the Rathaus and lakeside paths, then sample fresh fish or coffee in a city with enduring maritime energy. Allow time for a harbor ferry: it offers a memorable view of Hamburg’s working waterfront.

  2. Day 3

    Alesund, Norway

    Ålesund makes an immediate impression: its waterfront is lined with Art Nouveau buildings, rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1904. Beyond the elegant façades, this is a working Norwegian port framed by islands and steep mountain peaks. Climb the 418 steps to Mount Aksla for a sweeping view across the town and Sunnmøre Alps. Then visit the Atlantic Sea-Park, one of Northern Europe’s largest saltwater aquariums.

  3. Day 4

    Olden, Norway

    Olden sits at the head of Nordfjord, where steep green mountains rise from the water and glaciers shape the horizon. From the village, roads lead to Briksdal Glacier, an arm of Jostedalsbreen, with a final walk through valleys and waterfalls. Nearby, Loen Skylift climbs to Mount Hoven for wide views over fjord, peaks and lakes. Come ashore ready to choose: a close encounter with ice, or Norway seen from above.

  4. Day 5

    Skjolden, Norway

    Skjolden sits at the head of the Lustrafjord, a quiet arm of Norway’s vast Sognefjord. Steep mountains rise above the water, while waterfalls thread down toward the village. Beyond the quay, roads lead into Jotunheimen National Park, where trails cross glacier-fed landscapes. Across the fjord, Urnes Stave Church is among Norway’s oldest and belongs to a UNESCO World Heritage site.

  5. Day 6

    Stavanger, Norway

    Stavanger rewards a shore day spent on foot. White wooden houses line the compact old centre beside a lively harbour. The Norwegian Petroleum Museum explains how oil reshaped the city. Climb to the cathedral, begun around 1125, then browse Øvre Holmegate’s colourful cafés and shops. For a wider view, take a boat into Lysefjord, where sheer cliffs rise beneath Preikestolen. Wear good shoes; cobbles and steep lanes are part of the pleasure.

  6. Day 8

    Hamburg, Germany

    Hamburg rewards visitors who look beyond its grand harbor to discover a city shaped by trade and water. From the Speicherstadt warehouses and canals to the Elbphilharmonie’s sweeping river views, Hamburg pairs historic character with modern ambition. Stroll around the Rathaus and lakeside paths, then sample fresh fish or coffee in a city with enduring maritime energy. Allow time for a harbor ferry: it offers a memorable view of Hamburg’s working waterfront.
