Norwegian Coastal Voyage

 

Norwegian Coastal Voyage

Norwegian Coastal Voyage has plied the waters of the captivating 1,250-mile fjord filled west coast of Norway for more than 100 years, carrying passengers and cargo. Our unique and diverse 6 to 12 day cruise itineraries from Bergen in the south across the Arctic Circle in the north, to Kirkenes close to the Russian border, with 34 picturesque ports and a variety of escorted shore excursions, as well as independent sightseeing. 
   We also offer highly flexible, value-packed NCV Independent Vacations. These unescorted programs include transatlantic airfare, hotel accommodations, the famous rail journey between Oslo and Bergen, and the Norwegian Coastal Voyage. Some combine Norway with other Scandinavian countries.
   Also available are NCV Escorted Vacations. Select departures start in May and continue through September. These "one-stop-shop" 13-18 day programs combine in-depth land and fjord exploration with the Norwegian Coastal Voyage. 
   The Coastal fleet offers different types of vessels - Millennium , Contemporary, Mid-Generation and Traditional - all "working" ships that meet cruise standards. Works by recognized artists have helped the ships gain renown as floating galleries. And if you're looking for state-of-the-art quality and elegance, the brand-new Millennium class ships should be a perfect fit for you. With beautifully decorated and furnished public areas and cabins; with numerous suites, some with a balcony and Jacuzzi, these additions to the NCV fleet appeal to even the most seasoned travelers! Four-season cruising - daily departures year-round - offers our guests the opportunity to see the Midnight Sun or the Northern Lights, spring blossoms or fall foliage. 
   We now also offer once-in-a-lifetime NCV Expedition Cruises to Spitsbergen, Norway. These soft adventure programs give you the opportunity to explore the last wilderness of Europe rich in unspoiled nature and wildlife. Glaciers, polar bears, whales, seals, sea eagles, puffins and rare Arctic flowers can be part of these unique programs.
   Or why not come with us to Antarctica & the Chilean Fjords. Sail on MS Nordnorge from Chile to Antarctica and Argentina from November-March. These incredible areas of the world offer the most magnificent mountains, fjords and an abundant wildlife to the few people who are fortunate enough to visit. All Expedition Cruises include Zodiac landings, tour guides on board, and numerous lectures to create an intimate learning experience. 
   We are perfect for independent-minded travelers who are mature, well-informed and are looking for a multi-cultural experience off-the-beaten track. We are truly the alternative to the traditional cruise experience.
