Still waters glint under the late Summer sun as shadowy green fjord fingers point in to the heart of Norway. Gateway to this wonderland is historic Bergen, loved for its wooden wharves and cobbled streets that criss-cross the Bryggen district. Nearby is the peaceful retreat of Troldhaugen that inspired the music of Edvard Grieg. As Discovery heads north, Ålesund houses festooned with dragons and scenes plucked from Norse mythology will make camera shutters click, while Geirangerfjord’s peaks and waterfalls offer ever more amazing vistas the further you sail inland. Ashore, pretty villages and walks in the meadows soothe your senses, while a ride up the Flåm Railway will leave you breathless.
