YOUR EXPEDITION DAY BY DAY
DAY 1: BERGEN, NORWAY This expedition starts on the west coast of Norway. Bergen is called ‘The Gateway to the Fjords’ and is an international city packed with history and tradition. It is a big city with a small-town atmosphere.
DAY 2: AT SEA A day at sea is a perfect way to start this adventure. The lecture team have prepared interesting lectures for you, or you can have a cocktail or coff ee in the bar or observation lounge, enjoy the tasty meals in the restaurant or simply relax on deck.
DAY 3: AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS Amsterdam developed from a small fi shing village in the 13th century to become one of the most charming and culturally important cities in the world. Few cities mix history with an urban fl air like the capital of the Nether- lands does. Take a walk into history, be amazed by the museums, explore by foot, by bike or canal boat. We will spend almost two days here, giving you time to join our excursions and to get to know the city.

DAY 4: AMSTERDAM AND THE ENGLISH CHANNEL We leave Amsterdam in the morning. For the rest of the day, we will sail through the Eng- lish Channel which connects the North Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. This is the world’s busiest seaway with more than 500 ships passing every day. The observation lounge is a good place to watch vessels from all over the world on their way through the Channel.
DAY 5: GUERNSEY Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands, located near the coast of Normandy in France. The islands have a very complicated political status. They are British crown dependencies, but they do not belong to the UK. St Peter Port in Guernsey is considered to be one of Europe’s prettiest harbours, and it has been busy since Roman times. Enjoy a day of shopping, museums, hikes and bicycle trips or just unwind in a pub.
DAY 6: AT SEA A day at sea means spotting marine life such as dolphins, whales and seabirds from the

DAY 7: LA CORUÑA, SPAIN La Coruña is great for history and culture buff s, with a mystic and magic allure created by the Celtic and Roman heritage. The city had its heyday in the 14th and 15th centuries when it functioned as the port for English pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Com- postela. On our way into the harbour, we pass the Hercules Tower, the oldest Roman lighthouse still in use today. Take a walk through the historic city and see the relics from the diff erent people and cultures that gave the city its amazing appearance.
DAY 8: LEIXÕES, PORTUGAL From Leixões, it is a short yet very interesting trip to Porto. Mix monuments by leading inter- national architects from the past and the present with some fantastic baroque carvings. Add a world-famous sweet wine and a certain British fl avour. Place it all by a grand river, and you have Porto. This is Portugal’s second
