This is a compelling opportunity to experience Norway’s – and the world’s – magnificent fjords. Set off on one of the most beautiful stretches of road – ideal for anyone yearning for the path less travelled.

Ascend Ørneveien (Eagle Road), taking in its sweeping embrace of sky and mountains and waterfalls and stop for photographs before heading on to Linge. Along the way, witness the power of the river as it cuts through Gudbrandsjuvet gorge, before you reach the stark and wild, high mountain tops where you can relax.

Descending down the dizzying Trollstigen Road, negotiate through all 11 hairpin twists and turns. Once safely at the bottom, it is time for refreshments and a bite to eat before continuing on to the gentler landscape of Romsdalsfjord.

You will be afforded a marvellous view of the mountains and fjord – the pride of Molde. Enjoy dinner at a hotel in Molde before rejoining the Hurtigruten ship. The Geirangerfjord region was recently designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and it is still little known and visited, remaining pristinely wild.
