Wonderful day at Sea.

Day 2 Olden, Norway

Olden is located at the mouth of the Oldeelva river at the northern end of the Oldedalen valley on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden. Olden is the gateway to the Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalsbreen), which has made it a popular cruise ship destination. Olden also has easy access to several other arms of this glacier, including Kjenndal and the Boyabreen.

Day 3 Nordfjord, Norway

The Nordfjord is one of the famous fjords on the west coast of Norway, not far from the Geirangerfjord and the Sognefjord. The region encompasses the rough coastline of the Stadlandet peninsula to the Jostedalsbreen glacier, Europe's largest mainland glacier. The glaciers, fjords, sea and mountains in Nordfjord are some of the most beautiful Norwegian nature has to offer.

Day 4 Maloy, Norway

Maloy is a town in the municipality of Kinn in Vestland county, Norway. Maloy is located on the southeastern side of the island of Vagsoy, about 3 kilometres northeast of the village of Holvika and about 6 kilometres south of the village of Raudeberg.

Day 5 Stavanger, Norway

Stavanger is the gateway to the Norwegian fjords. The city centre of Stavanger is quite compact, with original dockside warehouses and pretty 18th-century streets climbing up from a bustling harbour, which makes it easy to reach most attractions on foot. On your walk you can easily stop by some of the city's many museums, such as the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, Stavanger museum of Fine Arts and the Norwegian Canning museum.
