Norway & North Sea

A collection, not an invented departure
Still fjords, open deck.
The northern direction is the most popular summer route among Swiss guests: Bergen, Geiranger, Ålesund and the North Sea passages. Travel from Basel by ICE or night train to Hamburg is part of our quote.
For every departure we check which onboard facilities – including the casino – are actually available on the chosen ship.
- When to go
- Best time: May–August. Long days, mild temperatures, waterfalls after the snowmelt.
- Getting there from Switzerland
- Getting there: ICE from Basel SBB to Hamburg Hbf (approx. 7 hours) or night train from Zurich HB. Direct flights from Zurich to Hamburg in 1.5 hours.

After dinner
The casino on board stays in proportion.
