Southampton, Olden, Molde, Geiranger, Flam, Rotterdam

Southampton is the largest city of Hampshire on the south coast of England. Southampton is a major port.  It was the point of departure for the RMS Titanic in 1912.

Olden is a village of Stryn, Norway, located on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden. Olden is a major tourist area and its cruise port has many arrivals every year. It’s worth visiting the Briksdalsbreen glacier, a popular hiking destination.

Molde is located 500 kilometres from Oslo and is part of the Romsdale region. Molde area is known for the serpentine Trollstigen Mountain Road, the Atlantic Road, an 8-kilometre long stretch of road between the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, Molde Jazz Festival and the 222 mountain peaks that offer exceptional vistas for photographers to capture. Walk around the main city streets and visit Molde's Cathedral with its free standing bell tower, go for a hike, explore the local caves, take a kayak tour at Moldefjord or stay in town and enjoy excellent shopping and dining.

On the glorious Geirangerfjord, one of Norway's most impressive sights, Geiranger is the picture-perfect fjord town and the jewel in the crown of the Norwegian fjords, surrounded by dramatic landscapes. Dalsnibba is one of Geiranger’s main attractions and is a very popular mountain top with visitors to the area. From the Dalsnibba plateau there is a breath-taking view across the most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in the surrounding mountain landscape with Geirangerfjorden right in the middle. In town, you can do some souvenir shopping or taste local delicacies at the small restaurants.

Centrally located at the head of Aurlandsfjord, the-17-kms-long tributary of the 204-km-long and up to 1308-m-deep Sognefjord, Flåm is surrounded by snowcapped mountains, isolated farmsteads and waterfalls and offers some of the most popular attractions in Norway, the famous Flåmsbana – the Flåm Railway- which is widely recognized as one of the steepest and most beautiful railways in the world. One of the most dramatic train rides in Europe, the Flåmsbanen takes an hour to cover 12 miles, hugging cliffs, plunging through tunnels and pausing for its passengers to admire the views as it ascends the Flåm Valley to a desolate mountain plateau. Kjosfossen is the waterfall highlight of the Flam Railway. Flåm is also home of the spectacular Nærøyfjord, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Often called the gateway to Europe, the port city of Rotterdam is full of old-world charm, offering amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. The Nazi bombardment of 1940 gutted most of the old city, so, you will notice that Rotterdam's architecture is an intriguing mix of old and new: modern glass skyscrapers often stand adjacent to 19th- and 18th-century buildings. During your walk, you will see three pre World War II buildings in the city center, the city hall, St. Laurence church and the White House. Explore the Museum Boymans van Beuningen, which houses a unique collection dating from the 14th century, or the Museum Voor Volkenkunde, home to ethnological exhibits, the Delfshaven quarter with the 18th century houses and the futuristic Kijk-Kubus, an upside-down housing complex.
