Seven nights exploring Norway's most celebrated fjords without leaving your floating hotel. Fred Olsen's Borealis does the trip from Newcastle, so no flying required.

The deal

Seven nights full-board on the Borealis, departing Newcastle for Bergen, Geiranger, Flåm and Stavanger. Runs June to August 2026. Prices from £899 per person (inside cabin); premium cabins from £1,400pp. Itinerary includes:

Midnight sun viewing
Fjord Rib boat excursions
Flåmsbana mountain railway
Calls at four key Norwegian ports

Why we like it

No airport nonsense — you board from Newcastle Quay. Full board takes the guesswork out of budgeting, and Fred Olsen's reputation for attentive service on smaller ships means you'll actually enjoy the voyage, not just endure it.

The itinerary hits the highlights: Geiranger's UNESCO fjord, Flåm's railway (one of the world's steepest), and Stavanger's oil-industry museums if you're that way inclined. June-August captures the midnight sun at its most reliable.

One caveat: at £899pp you're looking at a compact inside cabin. The premium option at £1,400pp isn't cheap, but balcony cabins on fjord cruises are worth considering — you'll live on that balcony. Fred Olsen does tend to skew older, so expect a mature crowd and a more measured pace.

How to book

Contact Fred Olsen directly or go through a cruise specialist. Check what's included beyond meals — shore excursions like the Rib boat trips often carry an extra charge, so factor that into your total spend. Availability tightens quickly for peak summer dates.
