We’re looking forward to
welcoming you on board Bolette for your Mountains and Fjords of
Norway cruise
We’re writing to let you know about a small change to the
times we’ll be at port in Skjolden and share everything you need to know.
What’s changing?
Our visit to Skjolden on 24 August will
now take place from 2:30pm to 6:30pm.
Scenic cruising through Sognefjord and
Lustrafjord will now take place in the morning and early afternoon, rather
than the evening.
Why have we made this change?
Skjolden is a small and
unspoilt village, and to preserve its charm and create the best possible
experience, we aim to be the only ship in port during our visits. Based on
recent guidance from the local port authority, we’ve adjusted our timings to
help reduce congestion, ensuring you can enjoy the village’s peaceful,
authentic atmosphere at its very best.
Your experience of fjord
scenic cruising:
This change allows us to spend more time gently sailing through
Sognefjord and Lustrafjord, giving you the opportunity to relax and truly
savour the scenery as it unfolds around you.
· Sognefjord,
known as the King of the Fjords, is Norway’s longest and deepest fjord,
stretching over 127 miles and framed by towering mountains, cascading
waterfalls and picturesque villages dotted along the shoreline.
· Lustrafjord, the
innermost branch of Sognefjord, is often considered one of Norway’s most
beautiful landscapes, with turquoise glacial waters, dramatic scenery and a
rich sense of history.
We’ll cruise these
breathtaking fjords from breakfast until after lunch, giving you plenty of time
to relax and take in the scenery from the comfort of Bolette.
While we appreciate changes
can sometimes feel disappointing, we’re confident these adjustments will enhance
your cruise, allowing us to showcase the very best of Norway’s fjords.
