Scenery lovers and active outdoorsy types will both find plenty to love on these fjord-focused cruises. Take a cable car to a mountain peak overlooking Andalsnes and the Romsdal Alps, then hike back down, or go for a scenic train ride through the mountains and across the picturesque stone Kylling Bridge. Visit tiny Olden at the inner end of Nordfjord and hike to a glacier’s face, or take the Skylift to lofty views. Go mountain biking on Mount Fløyen in Bergen, or wander the shops at the colorful Hanseatic wharf. And in Trondheim you may want to do both – borrow one of the city’s free bikes for a ride around town, then check out the emerging foodie scene. We’ll follow the fjord all the way to the sea and beyond, to the island of Frøya, where much of the world’s farmed fish is grown and tables are set with fresh crab, scallops, and local cheese – another foodie feast you won’t want to miss. Add a dash of Scotland and you have yourself a cruise fit for a Viking king.

London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored.
