Read moreHow our discounts work
On all cruises we set aside a number of cabins within each level at a discounted fare, with the highest discount of 35% for ocean cruises and 25% for river cruises available on selected levels. These cabins are sold on a first come, first served basis. As cabins are sold, the discount begins to reduce, and continues to reduce until those selected cabins are sold.
This means that the earlier you book, the higher the chance of securing a greater discount. Our price panels clearly show the full cruise price, along with the current discount fare.
Please note: During busy periods for holiday bookings, the early booking discount can reduce rapidly. We recommend that you book early to benefit from the best booking discounts and to secure your preferred cabin.
When promoting new cruises for the first time, we contact customers on our Advanced Registration list first, allowing then to secure the cabin of their choice and benefit from the best savings. Our brochures are then sent out to loyalty club members first, followed by past cruise goers and then everyone else.

Discover the essence of Norway
On the approach to Norway you’ll be greeted by the charming sight of Bergen’s UNESCO-listed waterfront, which is lined with colourful gabled buildings. Explore the cobbled lanes of the old town with its 17th-century wooden houses before cruising to scenic Skjolden, nestled at the end of the Lustrafjord.
Visit picture-perfect Flåm, known for its historic railway into the mountains, then be sure to head out on deck as Spirit of Discovery cruises across the ‘King of the Fjords’, Sognefjord. Your all-inclusive cruise to Norway in 2025 concludes with a visit to Sandnes, gateway to the multifaceted city of Stavanger.
Your two included excursions will be in
- Flåm, Norway
- Stavanger (from Sandnes), Norway.
This cruise also operates on August 15, 2025 aboard Spirit of Discovery - Vistas of Norway: August.
Itinerary
Dover
Embark Spirit of Discovery.
Depart 1700.

See what we have to offer at sea.
Bergen, Norway
Arrive 1000. Depart 1800.
Bergen’s historic waterfront, UNESCO-listed Bryggen, is graced by colourful gabled buildings that hark back to its days as a member of the Hanseatic League. The Hanseatic Museum, housed in one of the old warehouses, features antique furnishings for an insight into merchant life. The wharf neighbours Bergen’s old town of characterful 17th to 18th-century wooden houses that adorn cobbled lanes and attractive squares.
Skjolden ⚓, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1900.
The picturesque village of Skjolden has a secluded setting at the end of the Lustrafjord, a branch of Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, Sognefjord. Verdant mountains rear up behind this sleepy hamlet which acts as a gateway to three of the country’s most impressive national parks: Jotunheimen, Breheimen, and Jostedalsbreen.
It is a region of immense natural beauty blessed with lush valleys, roaring falls and mainland Europe’s largest icecap, the Jostedal Glacier. Norway’s oldest stave church can also be visited in nearby Urnes – built in the 12th century, its portal is decorated with carvings from an even older stave church that once stood on this site.
Optional excursion
Join a trip to visit the UNESCO-listed Urnes Stave Church or visit Jostedalsbreen National Park to view the Jostedal Glacier’s icy expanse.
⚓ Land by launch or tender.
Flåm ⚓, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1600.
Scenic Cruising, Sognefjord
The idyllic village of Flåm is hidden away at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord. Fishing, kayaking, cycling and hiking amid the surrounding mountain and fjords are popular pastimes. The biggest draw though is the historic Flåm railway, which winds up from the fjord through the Flåm Valley for over 10 miles to Myrdal station. It is dubbed ‘the world’s most beautiful train journey’ as it passes high above deep ravines, snakes through mountain tunnels and passes the tumultuous Kjosfossen falls. Enjoy the scenery as Spirit of Discovery departs Flåm to cruise across Sognefjord, ‘King of the Fjords’.
Included excursion
A scenic drive will reveal some of the finest views of the fjordland.
Optional excursion
Travel aboard Flåm Railway, one of Europe’s most beautiful rail journeys.
⚓ Land by launch or tender.
Sandnes (for Stavanger), Norway
Arrive 0900. Depart 1700.
Sandnes nestles on the edge of scenic Gandsfjord. At the heart of the city is a combined museum and science centre where you can learn more about the history of the region. From Sandnes you can join an included panoramic excursion to Stavanger, a multifaceted city that reflects its progression from a prosperous fishing port to an industrial centre for shipbuilding and oil. Its charm lies in Old Stavanger where cobbled lanes weave past white-painted wooden cottages and boutique shops stocked with local handicrafts.
