P&O Spitsbergen & Fjords Cruise 14nts 2012

Sail to the fjords with Aurora on this 14-night holiday, and you’ll receive a picturesque welcome to Norway as you’re greeted by a sea of white timber buildings in Stavanger. Alesund, a distinctly different port whose eclectic architecture stretches across three islands, is next before you head to historic Trondheim and a cruise through the picturesque Trondheimsfjord. Just 600 miles south of the North Pole lies the rugged but spectacularly scenic island of Spitsbergen and Ny Alesund, civilisation's most northerly outpost in this Arctic wilderness.

More breathtaking views are found in Tromsø where you can take a cable car up Storsteinen to look out over the city. Arriving in Bergen you’ll be charmed by the colourful timber buildings along the historic harbour front. Your final port of call is the small sleepy village of Eidfjord, gateway to some huge-scale attractions, including the largest high mountain plateau (Hardangervidda) and Norway's largest national park.
