| Tour Director: Renata Stuebner Norway is a land of intense natural beauty which is hard to overstate. Mountains of dizzying heights, deep fjords carved out by ice age glaciers, waterfalls cascading down mountainsides, and the awe-inspiring Midnight Sun in summer and Northern Lights in winter. Norway’s natural wonders, dramatic and diverse, range from serene forest-covered hills in the southeast, spectacular fjords and glaciers in the west, and the Arctic wilderness in the north. The seals and eagles reign, the whales and fish patrol the deep fjords, and small villages sleep along the sides of each fjord. The Summer Norway Luxury Cruise adventure will awaken the explorer in you. As the country emerges from the grip of winter, a sense of renewal permeates the air, and the landscapes burst into life. The majestic fjords, with their emerald waters and towering cliffs, glisten under the generous sunlight, creating a breathtaking backdrop for exploration. We'll cruise Norway’s cinematographic fjords on an extraordinary adventure filled with natural wonder. Sailing northwards from the excitement of cosmopolitan Copenhagen, we'll make stops in Stavanger, Ålesund, Trondheim, and Geiranger, before turning inland, following the path that the ancient glaciers took carving the fjords, as we visit Flåm, Bergen, and Kristiansand to end our adventure in the buzzing capital city of Oslo. Embarking on a luxury cruise through the pristine waters of Norway is an experience that epitomizes indulgence and opulence. As we step aboard the Silver Dawn, we'll be enveloped in an ambiance of elegance and refinement. The ship's meticulously designed interiors boast lavish cabins and suites, adorned with plush furnishings and panoramic windows, offering uninterrupted views of the breathtaking Norwegian landscapes. From the stunning fjords with their dramatic cliffs and cascading waterfalls to the remote coastal villages nestled amidst idyllic scenery, every view is a feast for the senses. Onboard, world-class amenities cater to our every desire, with gourmet dining options that showcase the finest Norwegian cuisine, accompanied by an extensive selection of wines and spirits. Impeccable service and personalized attention ensure that every aspect of our journey is flawlessly curated, allowing us to unwind and revel in the lap of luxury. Whether sipping champagne on the deck as the midnight sun bathes the landscape in a golden glow or partaking in exclusive shore excursions that will immerse us in the local culture, a luxury cruise in Norway promises an unforgettable voyage of unparalleled comfort, sophistication, and discovery. ![]() |
THE SILVER DAWN LUXURY EXPEDITION CRUISE With the Norway Silver Dawn luxury cruise, we are continuing the newest chapter for Sights and Soul Travels: luxury cruises for destinations that lend themselves to touring from the sea. We can't help but be excited about this offering! It will allow a select and very fortunate group of women to embark on a door-to-door luxury cruise that will immerse us in the majestic beauty of the fjords of Norway. The high-quality service onboard Silversea Dawn imparts an all-encompassing sense of well-being from the moment we board and set sail. This is relaxation at its most distilled: we will be welcomed into the supreme luxury by a team of butlers, trained to very high standards, who will guide each of us through every aspect of our cruise. They are there to ensure that all our need are taken care of before we even need to ask. A polite, professional, and friendly butler makes the difference between a great cruise and an amazing one. From unpacking your suitcase at the beginning of your voyage to shining your shoes and making your restaurant reservations, your butler will be happy to serve you. He or she will make sure that your room is always in pristine condition, provide white tablecloth in-suite service, and guarantee that your customized, in-suite bar is always full. From drawing a scented bath to ensuring that your every desire is fulfilled, the Silversea butler service can't be beat. But perhaps the greatest gift of the butler service is knowing that they are always there when you need them and mysteriously disappear when you don’t. Throughout the cruise, we will enjoy the 24-hour gourmet dining options inclusive of all alcoholic beverages, classy entertainment, lectures on the history and culture of this unique country, and several shore excursions every day. It simply doesn’t get any better than this. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of Norway. Indulge in a glass or a bottle of champagne, wine, beer, or spirits on the house. Your butler will also ensure that you have enough water, juices, and soft drinks in the public bars as well as in your suite. Silversea promises to keep your mini-bar full of your favorite drinks and alcoholic beverages. Your butler will replenish them daily, but if you want a little extra, just ask! No wish is too big or too small. You’ll wonder how you ever managed before! We'll enjoy our meals as a group in one of the eight fine dining restaurants onboard or you can choose to have any meal in the comfort of your own suite. The Silversea Dawn's restaurant menus are curated to be a deep-dive culinary immersion beyond anything you have ever experienced aboard a cruise ship. Each gourmet dining option offers unforgettable food and atmosphere, creating long-lasting gastromonic memories. Because the Silversea Dawn is an expedition-style ship, able to venture into narrow fjords, inlets and channels where bigger ships cannot, we will have the fullest experience of visiting Norway. Added to that are superlative service, extreme comfort, gourmet dining, and of course the wonderful company of other like-minded, intelligent, and funny women traveling companions. We guarantee that this is the one adventure that you will never forget. |
