Cruise Description

Embark on a uniquely timed journey crafted by our team to unveil the winter weather-sprinkled Norwegian Fjords. What’s more, we’ve arranged for your call into Lerwick to coincide with Up Helly Aa, a Viking-themed festival complete with a torch-lit procession and the ceremonial burning of a replica Viking ship. Balmoral will glide along Nordfjord and Åkrafjord, showcasing winter-clad landscapes, including the partially frozen Langfoss Waterfall. Engage in seasonal pursuits like snow-shoe hiking and ice fishing, immersing yourself in the enchanting surroundings of snow and frost. Or perhaps explore Viking history at landmarks such as the Swords in Stone monument and the ancient settlement of Jarlshof.
