Majesty of the Fjords aboard Saga Sapphire

1 Dover, England

Dover is situated at the mouth of a valley in the chalk uplands that form the famous white cliffs. A pre-Roman settlement existed on the site and, as Dubris, the place was important for Roman traffic with the European mainland.
The town’s strategic position on the south coast has been evident throughout its history. Archaeological digs in the area have revealed that the area has always been a focus for people entering and leaving Britain.
Bombed and shelled during World War Two, the shattered seafront was subsequently redeveloped after the war and is now the foremost passenger port in the United Kingdom.

2 Stavanger, Norway

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Stavanger flourished in the early 19th century as a centre for the fishing trade and while other towns and cities in Norway have suffered with the decline of the industry, Stavanger has managed to keep its economy booming by diversifying, first into ship building and now into oil.
These two contrasting industries have led to Stavanger being a city of two halves – it has a bustling and modern area of high-rise buildings and a historic old centre of warehouses, stock rooms, cobbled streets and clapboard residential buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
The city centre has a range of shopping and dining opportunities but is also home to a number of historically significant attractions and was the birthplace of Alexander Kielland, one of the great 19th-century Norwegian novelists. Its cathedral, dating back to 1125, is an impressive building and the only cathedral in Norway to retain its original features.
From here you can explore the attractive blue waters of Lysefjord, surrounded by cliffs and striking rock formations, and visit Hafrsfjord where 29 small kingdoms were united to form the Kingdom of Norway in the 9th century. For those interested in learning more about oil excavation from the North Sea, an independent visit to the very informative Petroleum Museum is recommended.

3 Jondal, Norway

Jondal rests on the edge of the Hardangerfjord, a beautiful fjord renowned for its two stunning waterfalls, the Skykkjedalsfossen and Vøringfossen.
From here it is possible to take the spectacular mountain road up to the magnificent Folgenonn Glacier.

4 Olden, Norway

The village of Olden stands at the end of the beautiful Nordfjord and offers both spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and the chance to explore some of the awesome natural wonders of the area. An Iron Age burial mound was discovered in this region of Western Norway, but the area was relatively uninhabited until the 17th century.
Some people say that visiting Olden is like stepping back in time because of its quaint, wooden homes, miles of forest and simple way of life. The whole of the Nordfjord region is dominated by the mighty Jostedal glacier which has 24 arms stretching out into the valleys and lakes of this region.
The best known of these is the Briksdal Glacier, which you can visit on a guided hike. A more relaxed glacier visit is offered to another of Jostedal’s arms, the Boeya Glacier and the Norwegian Glacier Centre where you can learn about how glaciers and glacial lakes are formed.

5 Bergen, Norway

Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting. There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic Wharf, known as the Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade.
As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Our comprehensive selection of excursions allow you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the open-air fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as the city’s open-air Old Bergen Museum. For a bird’s eye view of the city a ride in the funicular to the summit of Mount Fløyen is a must or even more spectacular, try sight-seeing from a seaplane.
Learn about one of Norway’s most famous sons, the composer Edvard Grieg, whose former home, Troldhaugen, has been turned into a museum. Those who have visited the city previously may like to enjoy a taste of the Hardanger region or even venture as far as Flam to experience one of the world’s most exciting train rides.
