Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been to Alaska before, and this is Alaska, but better.

The fjords are gorgeous. They're long. You just continue through them and have these just amazing views looking out to the water and the mountains that surround them.

It's absolutely stunning and beautiful.

The buffet is some of the best food on the ship and it gives you a really good variety.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a mix of clothes for Norway in the summertime as weather can vary from rainy and 55°F to sunny and 75-80°F.
Consider eating at the buffet for views while sailing through the fjords.

12-Day Norwegian Fjords Cruise Aboard the Celebrity Apex Embarking from Southampton, UK, this unforgettable 12-day journey aboard the luxurious Celebrity Apex offered a breathtaking exploration of Norway’s majestic fjords and charming coastal towns. Blending modern elegance with immersive natural beauty, the itinerary delivered a perfect balance of scenic cruising, cultural discovery, and Nordic adventure. Itinerary Highlights: Haugesund – Our first stop introduced us to the “homeland of the Viking kings,” with its rich Norse heritage and beautiful coastal landscapes. Quaint streets and historical landmarks set the tone for the days to come. Flåm – Nestled deep in the Aurlandsfjord, Flåm was a scenic wonder. Many guests took the iconic Flåm Railway for jaw-dropping views of waterfalls, mountains, and valleys, while others enjoyed hiking or soaking in the serenity of this fjordside village. Olden – A gateway to the mighty Briksdal Glacier, Olden provided some of the most dramatic scenery of the cruise. Lush valleys, blue ice, and mirror-like lakes created an unforgettable day of exploration. Tromsø – Crossing the Arctic Circle, the cruise reached Tromsø, known as the “Gateway to the Arctic.” A vibrant blend of modern life and remote wilderness, Tromsø offered Midnight Sun views, Arctic cathedral visits, and rich Sami culture. Honningsvåg – The northernmost port of the journey, Honningsvåg led us to the iconic North Cape (Nordkapp), a surreal cliff rising over 1,000 feet above the Arctic Ocean — truly the edge of Europe. Molde – Famous for its panoramic views, Molde charmed with its rose gardens, mountain trails, and peaceful waterfront ambiance. Stavanger – Our final Norwegian stop offered a mix of old and new, with a visit to the cobbled streets of Old Stavanger and the striking modern architecture of the city center. It was also a jumping-off point for those venturing to the famous Pulpit Rock. Each destination unveiled a new side of Norway’s soul — from its Viking roots and Arctic splendor to glacial wonders and fjord-side charm. Onboard the Celebrity Apex, guests enjoyed world-class dining, contemporary luxury, and panoramic lounges that made fjord cruising as memorable as the ports themselves.
