Norwegian Fjords Cruise, September 2025

Check-In & Boarding
Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or a Limitless transfer, our team will be there to help you check in your bags and board the ship. Those guests staying in an accessible cabin will also benefit from Priority Embarkation. We know check-in and boarding can be a nervous experience for some travellers, so Limitless assists with every aspect. You can learn about our check in and boarding support in greater detail in our FAQs.

Once aboard the cruise ship, you’ll have a chance to settle into your cabin, explore the ship, and meet your fellow Limitless travellers. The Limitless Care Team is always available to provide support and ensure your holiday gets off to the best possible start.

Exploring the Britannia
Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.

During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Britannia. As a group, Limitless travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a movie. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.

Port Visit
Welcome to Haugesund - home of the Vikings. Though the town itself is relatively young, the local area was a hotbed of Viking activity, and the first king of Norway, Harald Fairhair, lived just 8 km from the modern settlement. After disembarking the Iona, we typically catch the accessible bus into the city centre to maximize your time there.

Known as the birthplace of modern Norway, Haugesund is a brilliant place to do some holiday shopping and its excellent restaurants ensure this stop is one for the foodies too. There’s also an accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus that takes you around all of the city’s main attractions. Finally, we would highly recommend visiting the fascinating Viking Planet museum to learn more about the area’s incredible history.

Port Visit
Located at the head of one of the country’s most spectacular fjords, Nordfjordeid is a small, charming and perfectly formed town that combines sensational natural surroundings with more than a few sites of cultural and historical interest. The traditional architecture gives the town an authentic feel and is a big part of its appeal, too.

The Sagastad Viking Heritage Centre is an essential visit for history fans, as it houses a 30-metre, walk-aboard replica of the Myklebust, one of the largest Viking ships ever discovered. The modern opera house and the 19th-century Eid Church are architecturally fascinating and impressive local landmarks, too. The day ends with the ship returning back down the awe-inspiring Nordfjord, following its beautiful scenery and placid waters out to sea.

Port Visit
Famous for its unique architecture, Ålesund is the cultural centre of the Sunnmøre region and a relaxed and wonderfully atmospheric town. Having burned down in 1904, the entire town was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, making it one of the most distinctive port stops on your holiday. The approach to the port includes a scenic journey through the picturesque Geirangerfjord, and the town centre is just 10 minutes from the dock. We often take a short walk around the prettiest areas before stopping for lunch and a spot of shopping.

The accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus is an excellent option if you want to see more of the town. However, we recommend talking with the Tour Manager to arrange this as early as possible. Both the Art Nouveau Centre and the open-air Sunnmøre Museum are also accessible. The former presents exhibits detailing Art Nouveau’s impact on visual art, applied art, design and architecture. The latter tells the story of the region’s traditional way of life and includes historic homes and replicas of ships and smaller boats from the Viking Age.

Port Visit
Land ahoy! Once a Viking stronghold, Stavanger is famed for the beautiful wooden homes that line the streets of the historic city centre. The port is a flat, 10-minute walk from the city centre and there are plenty of local restaurants and bars close by, making it a great opportunity to sample deliciously authentic Norwegian cuisine.

The city market is the place to pick up mementoes, while the imposing Stavanger Cathedral is Norway’s oldest, and the picturesque Blue Promenade is fantastic for a post-lunch stroll or roll. For a full tour of Stavanger’s main attractions, we recommend the excellent, wheelchair-accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tour, which stops at the port. The service can get busy, so speak to a Limitless team member in advance to secure your ticket.

Sailing Home
By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Britannia and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you checked out the onboard art gallery? Eaten at all the restaurants? Taken part in the ever-popular interactive quiz show?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the ship you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect day.

Disembark
Following your final breakfast aboard the ship, the Limitless team will assist with check-out. The ship’s crew will take down your bags, and we’ll help you disembark, make sure you reach your pick-up, and say our farewells. Your transfer will then get you home, dropping you off at your front door.

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!
