Borealis, Balmoral and Braemar, with departures from Southampton, Liverpool, Newcastle and Edinburgh (Rosyth) from March to May next year. Customers booking by March 1 this year can choose

said: “We are always incredibly proud to take our guests to Norway, as it is from this beautiful part of the world that our heritage stems. “In Norway our smaller-sized ships really come into


their own, allowing us to offer exceptional scenic sailings deep into the heart of the fjords, and to visit many wonderful destinations, such as Fjærlandsfjord and Akrafjord, that can only be reached by smaller ships.”
