* Limitless Travel carefully pick out cruise itineraries to ensure minimal anchor ports (where a small boat or ‘tender’ transports guests to shore). Unfortunately port changes can happen due to a number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel will not be held accountable for any port changes, but we will do everything we can to ensure you are made aware of any changes to your itinerary well in advance.
Today marks the start of an extraordinary adventure, in fact, it starts at your front door! With our free of charge (up to 125 miles of Southampton) accessible transfer service, we'll pick you up from your home and take you directly to Southampton Cruise Terminal. If you would prefer to meet us at the port then you're more than welcome to do so, where we can also help to arrange parking if needed. With the support of our team, we'll get you checked in without hassle and settled into your accessible cabin aboard the Apex.
Land ahoy. On your first full day we'll be docking in the city of Bruges. After breakfast the Limitless team will be on hand to help everyone disembark. Often referred to as the "Venice of the North," Bruges is a picturesque and historic city located in the Flanders region of Belgium. Known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, charming canals, and cobblestone streets, Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination just waiting to be explored.
Following indulgence in Bruges (we hope you took the opportunity to sample the chocolate), today we'll continue our journey towards the Norwegian Fjords. With a full day at sea, there's no shortage of time for activities and entertainment. Perhaps try your luck at the casino, enjoying a game at one of the card tables. Alternatively, for those seeking relaxation, the ship boasts a complete spa and salon!
Today you will arrive in Flåm, nestled in a tributary of the world's longest and deepest fjord. Surrounded by steep mountainsides, roaring waterfalls, and deep valleys, you’ll experience a one-of-a-kind encounter with nature. The epic majesty of Flåm’s dense green mountains dwarfs even the grandest of cruise ships, and the glass-calm water that surrounds the town makes for a picture-perfect nordic scene. The Limitless team will be on hand as always to help everyone disembark and explore this awe inspiring location.
Crossing the imaginary line of the Arctic Circle as you cruise Norway’s starkly beautiful fjord-indented coast is a thrilling rite of passage to many travellers. Jagged, tooth-like mountains, their peaks dusted in snow even in summer, extend along the coast as far as the eye can see. Hundreds of rocky islets and skerries, remnants of the last Ice Age, are scattered across the sea. The design of the Apex has been carefully crafted with these breathtaking landscapes in mind. For unparalleled views, why not venture to the rooftop garden, where you can unwind with a drink in hand, soaking in the mesmerising scenery as the world passes by.
Dubbed as the Arctic's capital, this vibrant city in northern Norway sits above the Arctic Circle and stands out as one of the prime locations to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. Tromsø, once known as the "Paris of the North," boasts a dynamic city centre teeming with youthful energy, a bustling harbour, and a diverse international culinary scene featuring charming cafes, lively pubs, and vibrant restaurants. Among its highlights is the Arctic Cathedral, constructed in 1965, and renowned for its stunning stained-glass windows.
Situated on the island of Magerøya, Honningsvåg stands as the northernmost city on mainland Europe and serves as the primary port for cruise passengers journeying towards the Arctic Circle. This rugged yet enchanting town is adorned with brightly painted wooden buildings set against a backdrop of expansive tundra, majestic fjords, cascading waterfalls, and dense forests. During your visit immerse yourself in the local culture by sampling the delicacies offered at the town's charming cafes and restaurants, which showcase an array of fresh seafood, "koldtbord" (cold table buffets), and traditional "pølser" (sausages).
Today, you'll find yourself back on board the ship as we continue our journey through the Arctic Circle. You might opt to unwind and soak in the mesmerising otherworldly landscapes. Alternatively, you can indulge in more of the ship's amenities. Explore the onboard art gallery or partake in the variety of entertainment options available throughout the day, including quizzes, speaker sessions, live music, games, and crafts. Or perhaps head to the theatre for a Broadway-style show!
Geiranger is a picturesque village situated at the head of the Geirangerfjord, one of the most famous and breathtaking fjords in Norway. It is remote even by Norwegian standards, with a unique rugged beauty. Winding your way through the Geiranger Fjord feels like the entrance to a secret world, protected by massive, snow-capped mountains on either side. Geiranger is famous for its numerous waterfalls, the most iconic of which is the Seven Sisters waterfall with its seven separate streams plunging from the cliffs into the fjord.

Alesund's unique charm is defined by its whimsical Art Nouveau architecture, featuring turrets, spires, and other decorative touches that lend the town a fairytale-like ambiance. Carved over many centuries by glacial erosion, the towering mountainsides are adorned with numerous majestic waterfalls, adding to the dramatic beauty of the landscape. A visit to this beloved Norwegian attraction guarantees an abundance of natural wonders to marvel at.

Nestled amidst mountains, islands, and the North Sea, the stunning and rugged terrain of Haugesund evokes a sense of ancient history, harking back to the days when the city served as the residence of Viking kings and chieftains. Today, it stands as one of Norway's foremost cultural hubs, playing host to events such as the Norwegian International Film Festival and a lively jazz festival held annually. The region's captivating Viking heritage, coupled with its vibrant cultural scene, diverse festivals, abundant shopping opportunities, lively towns, and adventurous outdoor activities, offer a diverse array of experiences for visitors to indulge in.
As you arise for your last full day on board, why not savour the moment with a continental breakfast delivered right to your cabin? Take this opportunity to ensure you've experienced all the onboard facilities available to you. It's also the ideal time to connect with fellow Limitless guests you've met during your journey. Swap photos, share memories, and relish in the camaraderie. Following your evening meal, get ready to dance, sing, and revel in the entertainment onboard the Apex for one final hurrah.
After your last breakfast, we’ll help you check-out. Your bags will be taken down by the Celebrity crew and our care team will be on-hand to assist you. From here you will join the transfers back to your home or the pick-up points, relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for your next Limitless adventure. We can’t wait to see you again!
