<p>Towering cliffs, glimmering seas and fresh air you wish you could bottle – you can never get enough of the <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-destinations/norwegian-fjords">Norwegian fjords</a>. So why not spend a little more time exploring them? <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-ships/arcadia/overview">Arcadia</a> and <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-ships/aurora/overview">Aurora</a>, our smaller ships, offer longer holidays to the Norwegian Fjords, with your choice of exclusively adult cruises and cruises that welcome all ages.&nbsp;You’ll choose between 12 or 14 nights sailing the region and visiting more ports of call, many of which are exclusive to their itineraries.<br>
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Are you in search of sunny northern nights or dazzling <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-destinations/northern-lights">Northern Lights</a>? Our ships offer cruises in both summer and winter, so you can find whatever it is you’re chasing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/find-a-cruise?destinations=Norwegian-Fjords-And-Iceland&amp;duration=9-16">12- or 14-night holiday to the Norwegian fjord</a>s takes in many dynamic destinations, but here, we’ve listed six spectacular places you can only see on Arcadia or Aurora.</p>


Trondheim

<h2>Trondheim</h2>
<h3>Which ships: Arcadia, Aurora</h3>
<h3>When: April – September</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why go: <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/trondheim-norway">Trondheim</a>, Norway’s third-largest city ticks all the travel boxes – beautiful scenery, fascinating history and an exciting food scene. Feeling outdoorsy? Why not try kayaking or paddle-boarding on the Nidelva River, or renting a bike and cycling through the cobbled streets and past colourfully painted buildings and 18th-century wooden wharves. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll find everything from freshly baked pastries to Michelin-starred restaurants to revive you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Eidfjord

<h2>Eidfjord</h2>
<h3>Which ship: Aurora</h3>
<h3>When: July, September</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why go: The bijou town of <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/eidfjord-norway">Eidjfjord</a> – population less than 1,000 – appears even smaller when compared to the natural giants that surround it. National parks are laced with trails and capped by glaciers. Still lakes reflect the endless sky. Hardangervidda, the largest high-altitude plateau in Northern Europe, beckons hikers and climbers. And despite its small size, the town offers a warm welcome and an array of tasty local food such as cheeses, ciders, jams and meats.</p>

Lofoten Islands

<h2>Lofoten Islands</h2>
<h3>Which ships: Arcadia, Aurora</h3>
<h3>When: April – August</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why go: <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/leknes-lofoten-islands-norway">Leknes</a> is the main hub for exploring the Lofoten Islands, a wild, craggy archipelago that thrusts out into the Atlantic in the far north of Norway. The jagged peaks of the bare mountains combined with the beautiful white sand of the islands’ bays and beaches is truly breathtaking – Haukland Beach was voted Europe’s best by Lonely Planet in 2023 – and quite different from the scenery of much of the fjords.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">View cruises to the Lofoten Islands <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/find-a-cruise?ports=GRA">here</a>.</h3>


Tromsø

<h2>Tromsø</h2>
<h3>Which ship: Aurora</h3>
<h3>When: March, August, October, December</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why go: <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/tromso-norway">Tromsø</a>’s unique location – there are no other comparable cities this far north in the world – makes it a fabulous base to explore some of the Arctic Circle (and to search for the Northern Lights). A trip into the surrounding countryside will introduce you to some of the culture and scenery of this remote location. There are stunning buildings within the city including the Toblerone-shaped Ishavskatedralen, aka the Arctic Cathedral. And it’s not hard to find traditional northern Norwegian food such as <i>brunost</i> (brown cheese) and all types of seafood.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Alta

<h2>Alta</h2>
<h3>Which ship: Aurora</h3>
<h3>When: March, August, October, December</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why go:<b> </b><a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/alta-norway">Alta</a> is a tiny town with UNESCO World Heritage status, thanks to the dozens of examples of rock art dating back more than 6,000 years at the head of its fjord. Winter visitors will find Alta is one of the most reliable places to try to spot the extraordinary phenomenon of the Northern Lights – its skies are unobstructed by light pollution; its cold, dry climate keeps them free of clouds. Outside the town, there are opportunities to learn more about the native Sámi communities.</p>
