Past Norway Voyages include

Bessie Ellen 2006 - Stavanger and Southern Fjords

Leader in  2009 -Hardanger Fjord in Norway

This summer, Leader will again be spending three weeks sailing in the famous fjord region of Norway. From her base in Bergen, the gateway to the fjords, there will be plenty of time to explore the region during one of three six-night voyages.

Situated where the sea and mountains meet, the charming and traditional city of Bergen is the gateway to the fjord region, and the fjords in this area are many and varied.

The World Heritage listed fjords were formed in the last ice age by glaciers gouging their way through mountain ranges to the sea. The largest and most famous are the Sogne and Hardanger fjords with their numerous tributaries and Bergen is situated between the two.

The contrasts between the fjords and the mountains are best appreciated at water level and what better way to visit these ancient sites than on an historic vessel.

There will be plenty of time to go ashore and explore both Bergen and the surrounding coastal villages and we would aim to arrive at a new place each evening after the day's sailing.
