Norway - An Unforgettable Cruising Experience

Departing Southampton, your first stop is Haugesund – the home of the country’s first king, Harald Fairhair. Tucked between the mountains and the sea, Molde boasts remarkable views of the Norwegian coast, while Trondheim’s charming Old Town is packed with history. Olden sits among towering peaks at the end of the breathtaking Innvikfjorden, and Bergen’s colourful UNESCO-designated Bryggen Wharf rounds out the holiday in style.

At the Apex of Modern Cruising

From the 13-story, cantilevered Magic Carpet platform to the 20-foot-tall LED screen in the ship’s theatre, the Apex guarantees a truly contemporary cruise experience. With mouth-watering restaurants, atmospheric bars, a lift-accessed swimming pool, a relaxing wellness centre and onboard classes and activities, you’re never short of things to see and do.

Day 2 At Sea
Celebrity Cruises Apex ship
Exploring the Apex

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 Apex. 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 movie. 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

Port Visit

Welcome to Haugesund - home of the Vikings. Though the town itself is relatively young, the local area was a hotbed of Viking activity, and the first king of Norway, Harald Fairhair, lived just 8 km from the modern settlement. After disembarking the ship, we typically catch the accessible bus into the city centre to maximize your time there.

Known as the birthplace of modern Norway, Haugesund is a brilliant place to do some holiday shopping and its excellent restaurants ensure this stop is one for the foodies too. There’s also an accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus that takes you around all of the city’s main attractions. Finally, we would highly recommend visiting the fascinating Viking Planet museum to learn more about the area’s incredible history.

Day 4 Molde, Norway

Port Visit

Nestled between fjords and mountains, Molde is a charming Norwegian town known for its sweeping panoramas and vibrant gardens. Nicknamed The City of Roses, it offers a peaceful and scenic stop, with colourful blooms lining the streets during the warmer months and spectacular views across 222 snow-capped mountain peaks from the famous Varden viewpoint.

Whether you're exploring the accessible waterfront promenade, enjoying a coffee with a view, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, Molde is a gentle and beautiful introduction to everyday life in coastal Norway. The Limitless team will be on hand throughout the visit to offer support and assistance, ensuring you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Day 5 Trondheim, Norway

Trondheim
Port Visit

Norway’s third-largest city and historic capital, Trondheim is an excellent destination that’s packed full of fascinating history, intriguing attractions and great cafes. The Bakklandet - Trondheim’s old town - is a charmingly pretty part of the city with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. However, Limitless Travellers should be aware that some streets are cobbled.

The city also boasts several accessible landmarks and attractions. Most notably, Nidaros Cathedral is Scandinavia’s largest medieval building and the site where new regents are crowned. Beside the cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace houses the country’s impressive crown jewels and museum. Limitless Travellers can purchase discount combination tickets that guarantee access to all these attractions at a reduced price.

Day 6 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 7 Bergen, Norway

Port Visit

Norway’s second city, Bergen, is a remarkable port that combines breathtaking natural surroundings with a culturally rich and vibrant town centre. Nestled among seven mountains and situated at the heart of a labyrinth network of fjords, it was an influential trading port for much of its past, as reflected in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bryggen Wharf, where colourful wooden buildings line the waterfront.

The city fish market is a popular destination, as delicious seafood is guaranteed, while the Bergen Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into the city’s historic significance and is accessible throughout. The Fløyen Funicular Railway is also wheelchair accessible and takes visitors 320 metres up above the city to Fløyen. However, Limitless Travellers will need to arrange this independently.

Day 8 At Sea

By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Celebrity Apex 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 photography centre? Booked in for the Le Petit Chef® experience? Booked in for a massage treatment at the fantastic spa and wellness centre?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Apex 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 9 Southampton, UK

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!

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.

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?

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.

Which side of the ship is best for fjords?

On our Norwegian fjord cruises, both sides of the ship typically guarantee spectacular views of the fjords. However, selecting the “best” side of the ship often depends on the itinerary specifics.

Generally, the starboard (right-hand) side might be slightly better if you’re cruising north and the port (left-hand) side if you’re heading south. In both instances, this is because that side of the ship will spend more time facing the coastline.

Modern cruise ships are designed to maximize visibility and the open decks and public viewing areas guarantee everyone has access to striking 360-degree vistas. On Limitless Norwegian Fjords Cruises, there are always plenty of opportunities to use these facilities.

Is the sea rough in the Norwegian fjords?

The waters in the Norwegian fjords are generally much calmer than the open sea, thanks to the fjords' narrow and sheltered characteristics. This makes Norwegian fjord cruises an excellent choice for those concerned about sea sickness.

The cruise ship will be out on the open sea when travelling to, from and between fjords. Here, rougher seas are possible but entirely dependent on the weather, conditions, and season. Modern cruise ships are well-equipped with stabilisers to counteract rougher seas and minimise the motion you feel, ensuring a comfortable onboard experience.
