Cruise highlights Waterfalls, Fjords & Glaciers Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines bringing the world closer to you Flam, Sogne fjord Olden, Nordfjord Flam is a tiny village on the banks of the Aurlandsford. The setting is utterly spectacular. A stroll along the waterside, past orchards and hamlets, cottages and farmland explains why this area is so popular. In recent years the Flam Railway has become the major shore tour attraction. Finished in 1944, it climbs up over 20km and almost a thousand metres through magnificent scenery, in and out of mountains, past waterfalls and ravines, pausing at the beautiful Kjosfossen Waterfall for a perfect photo opportunity. Full day in port 7am - 5pm Travel past the Melkevoll Glacier and you will have the opportunity to climb up for a breathtaking view of the Briksdal Glacier. Olden itself is delightful, a charming village set in green meadows which are ablaze with colourful flowers through which babbling brooks meander between pretty houses. Stretching back from the village is the Oldedalen Valley, flanked by near vertical 1700m high cliffs and sparkling glaciers; 1500m up the valley is the spectacular Lokenfossen Waterfall. Near the old church, built in 1759 is the Singerheimen, the former home of the millionaire founder of the sewingmachine company. Full day in port 8.30am - 4pm. Bergen Stavanger The carefully restored 18th century Bryggen Wharf is a delight; its narrow streets climb away from the waterfront, lined by interesting shops, colourful half timbered houses and cobbled streets with alleyways and tiny open spaces that beg to be explored. Bergen is framed by seven fjords and seven magnificent hills, the highest of which can be reached by the funicular railway. From the top there are spectacular views down to the harbour side, where cafes, bars and restaurants and numerous museums welcome visitors from around the world. Full day in port 8am - 8pm. North sea oil transformed this provincial seaport into a vibrant and exciting city that wore its title the European Capital of Culture for 2008 with ease. Despite all the wealth Stavanger is as charming as ever. The old town, Gamle Stavanger, has narrow winding streets and ancient houses gathered round the market. Bars, restaurants, cafes and art galleries are abound. Worth seeing is the Oil Museum with drilling equipment, a model oil platform, submersibles and audio visual shows. And the Nordvergen History Centre where you can learn more about the Vikings that once roamed around the countryside. Half day in port 7.30am - 2pm.
