is a long stretch of the Norwegian coast that for practical purposes can be said to run from Stavanger to Trondheim. It encompasses the most characteristic fjords such as the Sognefjord, the Geirangerfjord and the Hardangerfjord. Halfway into the latter is the Folgefonn glacier with year round skiing and a breathtaking view. Waterfalls cascading into the sea, farms lodged precariously on the mountainsides, endless inshore passages, isolated villages, countless fascinating harbors, northern Europe's most diverse bird sanctuary hosting over half a million birds of at least ten different species each summer, fantastic scuba diving sites, etc. The list of attractions is almost endless.

Even two weeks is not long enough to cruise very quickly through this immense area, but we will structure your designated time to include what you most want to see. Another exciting possibility is a passage across the North Sea to friendly Shetland (200 nautical miles).
