Itinerary
Fly from the UK to Copenhagen and take a private transfer to 71 Nyhavn Hotel for a two-night stay in the capital. The city is world-renowned as a centre for Scandinavian design and architecture with a booming food scene, which makes for a perfect weekend break.
71 Nyhavn Hotel is a beautiful waterfront property housed in a converted 19th-century warehouse. Conveniently located with plenty of character, you’ll be a short stroll from the Inner Harbour Bridge that leads across to the canals and cafes of Christianshavn. Enjoy harbourside walks to admire colourful houses and tall ships, visit a royal palace and dine on gourmet Nordic cuisine – the city’s restaurants are peppered with Michelin stars.
Take a private transfer to the port where you will embark the brand-new Silver Dawn, the tenth ultra-luxury ship to join the Silversea fleet. Settle into your luxury suite with butler service, explore the rest of the intimate ship and enjoy a personalised service – there’s nearly one crew member for every guest.
A day at sea is the perfect time to make the most of life on board Silver Dawn. Whether you want to relax in your suite or at the Otium Spa, breathe in the fresh sea air from the pool deck and hot tub area or indulge your taste buds with one of the eight dining options, you’ll find time spent on board the ship to be just as enriching as time ashore.
Bergen is a delightful UNESCO World Heritage City, famed for its colourful buildings, hillside houses and cobblestone lanes. Discover the best of Bergen during a half-day sightseeing tour, one of the included shore excursions. The historic harbour of Bryggen is iconic, where colourful warehouses front a labyrinth of alleyways bustling with artisan craft shops and galleries. Visit Troldhaugen, home of legendary Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, and take a guided walking tour inside the elaborately carved Stave Church.
The breathtakingly beautiful village of Flåm is home to glacial waterways, emerald forests, craggy mountains, and sheer cliffs. Absorb the beauty of this destination from the veranda or deck of your ship or embark on a shore excursion to get closer to the action. The one-hour train journey aboard the iconic Flåm Railroad to see the area’s fjords, valleys and waterfalls is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s little surprise that this route is often declared one of the world’s most beautiful journeys.
Visit the tiny village of Olden, which nestles at the mouth of the Oldeelva River on Norway’s sixth-longest fjord, Nordfjord. Whether you discover the rugged natural terrain by land or water, there’s plenty of activities to embrace the scenic splendour. Hiking around Jostedalsbreen National Park to admire Europe’s largest ice sheet up close, cruising Lake Loen’s turquoise waters or calmly kayaking across its glassy surface are just a few of the thrilling itineraries available.
Geiranger nestles on the majestic Geiranger fjord, one of two Norwegian fjords awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Cruise around sweeping horseshoe bends, step ashore to traverse hairpin mountain roads or visit a working mountain farm to sample some goats cheese. Then, head to the quiet fishing town of Hellesylt. Strewn with waterfalls including the celebrated 250m-high Seven Sisters Fall, sailing amongst these blockbuster landscapes is a true privilege.
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and savour the luxurious surroundings of Silver Dawn. So, whether that’s going to the fitness centre or beauty salon, whale watching or lazing by the pool, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy shore excursions.
Experience seaside bliss in the southern Norwegian town of Arendal. From the historic lighthouses dotting the coast to underwater safaris in the marine national park and pebble-strewn beaches with far-reaching views, you’ll leave feeling truly inspired. Perhaps jump on a ferry to hop between the surrounding islands, then stroll around the charming old town of Tyholmen and explore the buzzing inner harbour of Pollen.
Spend a day and a half in Norway’s vibrant capital of Oslo to fully soak up its incredible art, history and culture scene. Step back in time at the world-class museums, admire the innovative architecture throughout the lively neighbourhoods and see an incredible blend of nature and art in one of the Sculpture Parks. Don’t miss a trip to Holmenkollen Ski Jump on a hill, for panoramic views overlooking the city. At around midday, depart for Copenhagen, which will be your final stop on the cruise.
Disembark, explore the city a little more if you have time, then transfer to the airport for your flight back to the UK.
