The Norwegian Fjords in a Week

Your cruise’s first stop is Haugesund, historic home of Viking kings and the birthplace of modern Norway. Next comes Olden, a fairytale village nestled at the end of the breathtaking Innvikfjorden, followed by Ålesund, where the gorgeous Art Nouveau architecture is matched by the impressive approach down the Geirangerfjord. A final day of scenic cruising on one of the world’s longest fjords, the Hardangerfjord, completes the holiday.

Intimate Cruising on the Queen Victoria

The smallest and most intimate ship in Cunard’s iconic fleet, the Queen Victoria features classically elegant interiors and an attention to detail that Limitless Travellers love. However, it still manages to pack an enormous amount in and boasts all the world-class entertainment, dining and leisure facilities you would expect of a modern cruise ship.

Exploring the Queen Victoria

Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.

During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Queen Victoria. As a group, Limitless Travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a musical performance. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.

Day 3 Haugesund, Norway

Limitless Accessible Walking Tour

Welcome to Haugesund - home of the Vikings! Although the town itself is relatively young, the local area was a hotbed of Viking activity, with the first Norwegian king, Harald Fairhair, living just 8 km away. Known as the birthplace of modern Norway, Haugesund is packed with incredible history, while also boasting a thriving modern centre, with plenty of holiday shopping opportunities and several excellent restaurants.

Led by your Tour Manager, our optional accessible walking tour sees you cross the scenic Risøy Bridge and head for the Viking Planet Museum. History buffs may want to consider a stop here for a fascinating insight into the town’s Viking heritage. The tour continues down Haugesund’s main pedestrianised shopping street, Haraldsgata, before visiting Vår Frelsers Church, a neo-Gothic masterpiece. It concludes with a photo-op at the Marilyn Monroe statue on Haugesund’s gorgeous waterfront.

Day 4 Olden, Norway

Limitless Private Excursion

Tucked at the end of the magnificent Innvikfjorden - one of Norway’s most breathtaking fjords - Olden is a charming village surrounded by dramatic mountains. The best way to enjoy the views is via the Loen Skylift, a cable car with step-free access and level boarding that carries you nearly 1,000 metres to the top of Mount Hoven. From the top, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the fjord and surrounding peaks. Relax in the restaurant, complete with log fires and local cuisine.

For those who prefer to stay closer to sea level, Olden’s town centre is just a pleasant 15-minute stroll from the ship. You’ll find a selection of small shops, cafés, and bars—perfect for soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. Alternatively, you may wish to remain aboard and enjoy the ship’s first-class facilities. 

Please note - the Skylift is weather-dependent and does not open if conditions are poor.

Day 5 Ålesund, Norway
Alesund norway cruise Landscape
Limitless Accessible Walking Tour

Famed for its spellbinding architecture, Ålesund is the cultural hub of the Sunnmøre region and a relaxed, atmospheric town. Having burned down in 1904, the entire town was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, making it one of the most distinctive port stops on your holiday. The approach to the port includes a scenic journey through the Geirangerfjord, and the town centre is just 10 minutes from the dock.

On arrival, your Tour Manager will lead an optional accessible walking tour through the town. Your first stop is the fascinating Art Nouveau Centre, a museum dedicated to Ålesund’s unique architectural heritage. Next comes the imposing neo-Gothic Ålesund Church, followed by the colourful merchant houses and bustling harbour of the Brosundet waterfront. Finally, we’ll visit the town square – Ålesund’s social and civic heart.

Day 6 Hardanderfjord, Norway

Scenic Cruising

One of the world’s longest fjords, the Hardangerfjord runs 179 km from the heart of Norway’s mountainous interior to the Atlantic Ocean. With its thundering waterfalls, striking glaciers and breathtaking mountain scenery, this majestic fjord guarantees one of the most memorable cruise experiences on the planet. Which is why we’ll spend the entire day exploring the Hardangerfjord and appreciating its wonders.

The Queen of the Fjords, the Hardangerfjord’s banks are fertile farming land, and the area is known as the “fruit orchard of Norway”. As such, you’ll be treated to wonderful views of sprawling orchards that give way to towering mountain passes and snow-capped peaks. It’s a landscape of enormous scale and unforgettable beauty, and you’ll have a front row seat for the entire journey.

Day 7 At Sea
Cunard Cruises Queen Victoria Queens Room

Sailing Home

By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Queen Victoria and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you visited the onboard library? Tucked into a steak at The Verandah? Expanded your horizons at one of the Queen Victoria’s award-winning Cunard Insights talks?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Queen Victoria you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Or just relax in total comfort and reminisce about the places you’ve seen over the course of your holiday. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect final day.

Day 8 Southampton, UK
Southampton, UK
Disembark & Home Drop-Off

Following your final breakfast aboard the ship, the Limitless team will assist with check-out. The ship’s crew will take down your bags, and we’ll help you disembark, make sure you reach your pick-up, and say our farewells. Your transfer will then get you home, dropping you off at your front door.

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!

FAQs

What’s included in a Cunard accessible cabin?

  • Wide access doors

  • Space for mobility scooters to be stored

  • Showers with wide door access, pull-down chairs and grip handles

How does Limitless assist with check in and boarding?

Having met the Limitless Team at the port, we'll accompany you to the special assistance check-in. As it's separate from regular check-in, there are no crowds or lengthy queues.

You'll then be given a boarding time. Usually, we board as a group. However, if this isn't possible and you would like the assistance, we ensure a carer accompanies you onto the ship.

We board via the accessible gangway. This ramp connects the ship to the port. If you require support or assistance, both the Limitless Team and the ship's crew will be on hand to help. There are also manual wheelchairs available to make this transfer easier.

On some ships, the accessible gangway can be a little steep. In these instances, two crew members will provide support - one in front and one behind. You'll never be rushed and your safety and comfort are always the priorities.

Remember, you don't need to pre-book any special assistance at the port! We provide this assistance as standard with all Limitless cruises.

What is Limitless Group Support & Holiday Assistance?

Group Support & Holiday Assistance is included as standard with all Limitless holidays. It's what sets us apart from every other UK holiday provider!

This level of support is suitable for those who do not require physical support, but may need a helping hand to make the most of their holiday experience. We provide this assistance in a group setting, so you must be able to support yourself if you intend to leave the group at any point.

What does Group Support & Holiday Assistance include?

✓ Pre-holiday assistance from your Personal Travel Advisor, who will answer any questions you have and provide support with hiring any limited mobility equipment you require.

✓ During your holiday, the Limitless Team will assist you with making the holiday accessible day-to-day, including:

✓ Help with checking into your hotel

✓ Assistance with luggage

✓ Help with accessing excursions

For more details, speak with a member of the Limitless team on 0800 711 7112.

What can Limitless do if I require additional care and support?

At Limitless, we offer a range of additional care packages if your require a little more assistance. This allows us to tailor care to individual Limitless Travellers and ensure your needs are met while on holiday.

They range from our Morning, Evening & Occasional Daytime Care package for travellers who require intermittent assistance with personal care to our One-to-One Care With Hoisting package for travellers who would benefit from comprehensive, all-day care.

We always recommend getting touch with your Personal Travel Advisor to discuss care packages. They are always on hand to answer questions, provide information, and make recommendations about the package they think is most suitable for you. You can contact Limitless on 0800 711 7112.

In addition to this, our care team will also reach out to you three months before your holiday to confirm you have everything you need to travel with complete confidence.

What are anchor ports and is Limitless responsible for port changes?

At Limitless Travel, we carefully select cruise itineraries with minimal anchor ports. Anchor ports are those destinations where port logistics mean a small boat or ‘tender’ transport is required to ferry guests to shore. In the vast majority of cases, these tenders are not accessible and some Limitless Travellers will not be able to leave the ship.

Unfortunately, port changes can happen due to any number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel cannot be held accountable for any such port changes.
