“The springtime cruise in Norway has been timed to showcase the very best of the fjords and mountain scenery while north Norway will give guests the ideal opportunity to witness the Northern Lights.

“Guests will also be able to embrace the local way of life in each of the destinations they are visiting and seek out native wildlife.”

He added: “Whether guests are sailing for the first of tenth time, there really is a huge variety of cruises to suit everyone’s desires.”
