Five Stars of Scandinavia provides tours of each of the countries which make up Scandinavia, and this includes Norway. Norwegian fjord cruises are spectacular experiences and give the traveler an opportunity to see vast mountains, waterfalls, incredible rock formations, and wildlife. The ships sail into deep fjords, stop along the way, giving opportunities to visit fjord villages, small farms, churches or historic sites.
Sail in Norwegian fjords, the mighty Sognefjord, the dramatic Geiranger fjord or the idyllic Hardangerfjord. Perhaps venture into the Fjaerlandsfjord; enjoy the grandeur of glaciers, pristine nature, snow-covered cliffs and steep mountain with thundering waterfall.

Witness the result of glacial erosion that created a narrow channel of sea flowing between steep cliffs. The steep walls that rise above the water level also reach down to the floor of the sea.

This creates a very dramatic setting that is breathtakingly beautiful when cruising, but that also requires great skill on the part of the ship's captain as he steers between the steep walls of the fjord.

Take the vacation of your dreams. Cruise Norwegian fjords.
