Norwegian Fjords & Shetland Islands - 11 Days
Aboard: SH DianaExplore the wonders of Norway’s fjordland, mirror-clear waters sandwiched between jagged peaks, then take in the wild splendour of Norway’s Lofoten Islands, before exploring the Shetland Islands with our expansive 10-night Fjords and Islands Discovery cruise.
