Hebridean Princess Returns to Norway in 2020

 

Following the success of Hebridean Princess' Norwegian sojourn in 2017, we will once again be spreading our wings in 2020.

 

During the summer months of July and August, Hebridean Princess will ply the waters of Norway exploring the lesser known Hardangerfjord and the almost undiscovered Lysefjord.

 

Guests will also discover the delights of Sognefjord and the deep blue UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord, and reveal the awe-inspiring inlets and islands between Bergen and Stavanger.

 

 

Flights between the UK and Norway are included in the tariff, but there is also the option to join or leave Hebridean Princess in Invergordon at the start and end of the programme.
