Itinerary:

Copenhagen, Denmark Jul 19 | Jul 31
When surrounded by a sea of blooming flowers in Tivoli Gardens or while admiring Copenhagen's famous Little Mermaid statue, it's virtually impossible to find yourself in the capital of Denmark without a smile on your face. Amalienborg Palace, where you can catch the changing of the guards, and Kronberg Castle, the famous setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet, are just a few of the many points of interest available to you in this former humble fishing village.

Oslo, Norway Jul 20
Sail through the Oslo Fjord, and you sail back in time to 1050. All of this historic capital city's lavish history can be uncovered at the Viking Ship Museum and the Kon-Tiki museum, which serves as home to the Fram, a famous polar - exploration ship. Cross the drawbridge to the formerly impenetrable Akershus Castle and meander through the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park. In Oslo, don't forget to preserve your memories before returning to the present day.

Jul 21 A day to relax at sea

Eidfjord, Norway Jul 22
This village's majestic beauty lies in its incredible scenery: a beautiful fjord, looming glaciers and a mountain traversed by herds of reindeer. Walk or take the Mabodalen mountain train to the top of Voringsfossen, a 182 meter waterfall, and see the sun send a rainbow into the valley below.

Bergen, Norway Jul 23
Once the very seat of the medieval kingdom of Norway, Bergen is a former Viking stronghold encircled by deep fjords, towering mountains, and sweeping glaciers. Today's Bergen is quite welcoming, with much of the medieval flavor remaining in Bergen's harbor. Strike a bargain in one of the many artisans' workshops or visit the famous and always entertaining Fish Market.

Olden, Norway Jul 24
The peaceful town of Olden sits calmly at the edge of the perpetually advancing Jostedal Glacier-which also happens to be Europe's largest glacier, towering 6,200 feet over a deep valley. After you've taken in all of its grandeur, embark on a hike through lush mountain valleys. Or if you're still feeling especially adventurous, explore the nearby caves and the remarkably well-preserved historic sites.

Geiranger, Norway Jul 25
Geiranger is where Norwegians escape when they need a vacation. The most breathtaking attraction in Geiranger, and there are many, is the mighty Seven Sisters Waterfall, spilling hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from an incredible 5,000 feet. Sitting at the head of majestic Geiranger Fjord, the city is surrounded by towering snow-covered mountain peaks, lush, green vegetation and winding hiking trails often enjoyed by the ambitious vacationer.

Molde, Norway Jul 26
Acknowledged as one of Norway's major rose-growing centers, it's
no surprise that Molde is often referred to as the "city of roses." Warmed by the Gulf Stream and protected by its surrounding hills, Molde is the beneficiary of a moderate climate, which contributes to its lush vegetation. This charming city is also home to the Ramsdal Museum, featuring one of Norway's most impressive collections of folk art.

Alesund, Norway Jul 27
Alesund's architecture is known far and wide. Turrets, spires, and other whimsical Art Nouveau architectural touches give the town its distinctive character like something from a fairytale. The scenic spectacle of the Geirangerfjord, one of Norway's best-known attractions, is just a stone's throw from this quaint little town.

Flam, Norway Jul 28
You will find the beautiful small town of Flam nestled deep in a tributary of the world's longest and deepest fjord. Surrounded by steep mountainsides, roaring waterfalls and deep valleys, you'll experience a one-of-a-kind experience with nature. Its almost 65-year-old Flam Railway is widely known as one of the world's most fantastic stretches of railroad.

Stavanger, Norway Jul 29
Stavanger is a fascinating combination of the best of the old and new. You'll find modern architecture and trendy, stylish cafes as well as ancient cobblestone walkways, museums and rows of 18th-century whitewashed wooden houses said to be the best-preserved timber buildings in northern Europe. Cruise ship docks are conveniently located in the center of town, just minutes from this charming city's many attractions.
