Come aboard Le Commandant Charcot for an unforgettable voyage.

With featured guest Ian Dawson, British Photo Ambassador.

Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, discover the shores of Norway and dive into the history of the coastal towns and fishing villages that punctuate this wild setting. The coastline, shaped by the ebb and flow and forged over the centuries by glaciers, will unveil its stunning panoramas, a veritable invitation to savour friluftsliv, the Norwegian way of life celebrating time outdoors. As winter draws near, the light dims to reveal the striking beauty of the Lofoten Islands and the serenity of the majestic fjords, like an ode to Kos - the pleasure of enjoying the moment.

The itinerary may be altered based on port approvals and to comply with applicable government regulations  Please also note that the sailing programme, shore visits and activities cannot be guaranteed, as they are subject to weather conditions.

Enhance your cruise and extend your trip with a carefully designed programme.

Day 1 – Bergen

After disembarkation procedures are completed, you will be greeted at the port by our local representative.

You will board your vehicle and leave Bergen for Hardanger, about 1 hour and 15 minute-drive.

Just before arriving you will make a photo stop at Steinsdalsfossen, a spectacular sight and, what is more, you can walk behind the waterfall on the path leading up from the car park without even getting wet. Following the riverbank, the path goes behind the waterfall and then out to the vantage point on the other side. From here, you can admire Steinsdalsfossen and enjoy beautiful views. With its 50-metre drop, the waterfall has become a popular attraction.

Then at the Maritime Museum of Hardanger, the guided tour will take you to discover an atypical place that houses a boat restoration workshop, exhibitions, rope making workshops, of wrought iron, and everything related to local shipbuilding know-how.

Lunch is served in a local restaurant.

During afternoon, you will learn all about Norwegian aquaculture in the beautiful Norwegian fjord, Hardangerfjord. You can see the floating salmon farm up close on a rubber boat. Hardanger Akvasenter is an open visitor centre for fish farming located in Øystese in Hardanger. Here you can learn all about Norwegian aquaculture and how runs the fish farms. You will be able to take a closer look at the fish farm on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB).
