1. Norway
Along the coast of Norway stretches a network of fjords, where the deep and clear waters are surrounded by mountain walls and green valleys. Here you will discover the impressive Geirangerfjord, where waterfalls fall over the rocks like veils. The Sognefjord, Norway’s longest fjord, draws you further inland along mountain walls that are sometimes more than 1,700 meters high. The Hardangerfjord also offers a beautiful interplay of glaciers and orchards. From the Preikestolen you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Lysefjord, while the rugged Trollfjord in the north is sandwiched between sharp cliffs.
2. Iceland
Iceland’ s east coast is characterized by fjords that stretch deep into the rugged landscape full of hidden fishing villages. You sail through the Seyðisfjörður and Borgarfjörður fjords, where steep cliffs rise high on both sides. Here you will find almost untouched nature, where puffins have their nests and sheep graze freely on the mountain slopes. At the fjords of Eastern Iceland, you are far away from the crowds, surrounded by a pure and quiet landscape that invites you to hike and explore.
3. New Zealand
In southwestern New Zealand lies Fiordland, an area where fjords cut deep into the land and rainforest covers the mountains. Milford Sound is one of the area’s most impressive fjords, with granite walls rising from the inky black water and waterfalls cascading down from great heights. In Doubtful Sound you will experience a quieter and more remote fjord, but the same peace and purity also reigns in fjords like Dusky Sound and Breaksea Sound. Along the way, you have a chance to see seals on the rocks and dolphins that swim with you for a bit during the boat trip.
4. Chile
Chile’ s southern coast consists of a network of fjords. You will sail through the Última Esperanza Fjord, where rock walls surround the still waters. The Canal Messier also stands out, surrounded by floating icebergs from the Pio XI and San Rafael glaciers. The area is barely inhabited and the landscape varies widely: from dense rainforest to bare rock and vast ice fields. The fjords here are often the only access routes to this region.
5. Alaska
Along the coast of Alaska you will find the fjords of the Inside Passage, where glaciers and densely forested mountains define the landscape. College Fjord is famous for its many glaciers that end directly in the water, while in Tracy Arm Fjord the Sawyer glaciers impress with their towering ice walls. During your cruise, you will see sea lions resting on rocks and orcas swimming by. The coast is adorned by First Nations totem poles, which have been associated with this area for centuries. These fjords offer a special blend of impressive nature and rich culture, a quiet place where nature and history come together.
6. Greenland
Kangertittivaq on Greenland’ s east coast is the largest fjord system in the world, a labyrinth of deep estuaries and mountain walls covered in snow and ice. You will explore these still waters surrounded by immense icebergs and barren rock formations, where in the short summer the sun falls gently on the water. Ittoqqortoormiit, the only settlement in this region, is secluded at the edge of this impressive landscape. These fjords are home to belugas, narwhals and seals, while the land-based fauna, such as arctic foxes and snow hares, will also surprise you.
7. Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are a remote archipelago in the North Atlantic, where fjords lie like deep indentations between steep cliffs and green slopes. On Eysturoy you will find Skálafjørður, the longest fjord in the archipelago, and Funningsfjørður, known for its dramatic mountain scenery. Gøtuvík is also impressive, not only for its nature, but also for its historical connection to the Viking Tróndur í Gøtu. Reflecting the changing light and low clouds, the fjords offer a tranquility that suits the quiet nature of the islands. Here you come face to face with a pristine landscape, where nature and history go hand in hand.
