Scandinavia & Norwegian Fjord Cruises
Sheer fjord walls, storybook harbors and the midnight sun. Scandinavian cruises sail Norway’s fjords and the Baltic’s grand capitals in the long, luminous days of the northern summer.
A Scandinavia cruise splits into two classic voyages. The Norwegian fjords — Geiranger, Nærøyfjord, Flåm and Bergen — deliver waterfalls and cliffs straight from a postcard, reaching north to the North Cape and the midnight sun. Baltic sailings string together Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn and the palaces of the region. Both run mainly May–September, when the north is green, mild and light almost around the clock.

Scandinavia & Fjord Cruises — Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between fjord and Baltic cruises?
Fjord cruises sail Norway’s west coast (Geiranger, Flåm, Bergen) for dramatic scenery; Baltic cruises focus on capital cities (Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn). Some itineraries combine both.
When is the best time to cruise Scandinavia?
May–September, when the weather is mild and the days are long; June–July brings the midnight sun in the far north.
Do I need to see the North Cape for the midnight sun?
The North Cape and Arctic ports offer the classic midnight-sun experience, but long, bright evenings are common region-wide in midsummer.
