Norway by Sea: Exploring the Fjords with Silversea Cruises

July 21, 2025

Imagine drifting through glassy waters beneath snow-capped mountains, past waterfalls so tall they vanish into mist. With Silversea Cruises Norway, this isn’t a fantasy—it’s your daily view.

At Scott & Thomas, we believe luxury travel should feel effortless, immersive, and deeply personal. And when it comes to cruising Norway, Silversea offers a matchless blend of personalized service, small-ship intimacy, and world-class scenic access.

Why Sail Norway with Silversea?

Norway’s wild coastline, peppered with fishing villages and framed by towering cliffs, is best explored slowly—by sea. Aboard Silversea’s luxury cruises, guests enjoy a front-row seat to the country’s legendary fjords, Arctic towns, and cultural treasures.

Unlike massive cruise ships, Silversea’s vessels are boutique in size, allowing them to dock in smaller ports and venture deeper into narrow waterways. This means more time spent admiring waterfalls in Geirangerfjord, stepping ashore in lesser-known towns, and sailing right up to dramatic Arctic landscapes.

And with all-suite accommodations, ocean views come standard—along with attentive butler service, curated excursions, and gourmet dining that’s consistently world-class.

What You’ll See: From Fjords to the Arctic

Silversea’s Norwegian itineraries typically sail between Copenhagen and Tromsø, with 7- to 14-night journeys. Here’s just a taste of what you might experience:

Bergen
Norway’s largest city on the western coast, Bergen is known for its colorful harbor and as a gateway to the fjords. But it’s also an arts and culture hub, with museums, street markets, and live music in historic Bryggen.

Ålesund
This striking town is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, with turrets, spires, and flourishes that feel more Viennese than Nordic. It’s a favorite stop among design lovers and photographers alike.

North Cape and Tromsø
Far above the Arctic Circle, the landscapes shift. Here, you’ll see snow-capped mountains, reindeer, and possibly even polar bears—especially on Silversea’s expedition sailings. The light is otherworldly, whether it’s the midnight sun or the northern lights.

Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord
UNESCO-listed and unforgettable, these fjords are the heart of any Norwegian cruise. Sailing through them is like drifting through a natural cathedral—steep cliffs, lush green terraces, and waterfalls everywhere you look.

Onboard Life: Ocean Views and Effortless Luxury

Every suite on a Silversea ship includes an ocean view—many with private verandas perfect for sipping wine as you watch the fjords drift by. Silversea ships like Silver Moon, Silver Dawn, and Silver Spirit carry fewer than 600 guests, ensuring space, tranquility, and personalized service at every turn.

Expect multiple fine-dining venues (including the renowned La Dame), complimentary caviar and Champagne, and intuitive service that feels both discreet and warm. Butler service is included in every suite—and they do everything from unpacking luggage to drawing you a bath after a long day ashore.

And on sea days? Spa visits, onboard lectures, afternoon tea, or simply watching the world pass by from a lounger on deck.
