Cruise Norway’s Breathtaking Waterways

Departing Southampton, your first stop is Norway’s photogenic second city, Bergen, where colourful wooden buildings line the UNESCO-protected wharf. From there, you’ll cruise to Geiranger down the Geirangerfjord, one of the county’s most iconic fjords. The epic Innvikfjorden takes you to Olden, while Sognefjord - the ‘King of the Fjords’ - leads to picturesque Flåm. Finally, the Apex stops at Zeebrugge on the journey home.

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.

Itinerary

Day 1 Southampton, UK
Cruise
Home Pick-Up & Boarding

Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or the complementary Limitless accessible taxi transfer, our team will be there to help you check in your bags and board the ship. Those guests staying in an accessible cabin will also benefit from Priority Embarkation. We know check-in and boarding can be a nervous experience for some travellers, so Limitless assists with every aspect. You can learn about our check in and boarding support in greater detail in our FAQs.

Once aboard the cruise ship, you’ll have a chance to settle into your cabin, explore the ship, and meet your fellow Limitless Travellers. The Limitless Care Team is always available to provide support and ensure your holiday gets off to the best possible start.

Day 2 At Sea
20250511 081743 (1)
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 Bergen, Norway
20250513 124956(0) (2)
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 4 Geiranger, Norway
Geiranger
Geiranger Norway
Port Visit

Carved from the rock over several ice ages, Geirangerfjord is one of the county’s most iconic fjords. Flanked by steep mountainsides and famed for its tumbling waterfalls, this is Norway at its most awesome. Keep your eyes peeled for the epic De Syv Søstrene (The Seven Sisters), Friaren (The Suitor) and Brudesløret (The Bridal Veil) falls, in particular.

Your port stop for the day is Geiranger, a small hamlet at the end of the fjord with a few restaurants and a much-loved troll sculpture. There are several shops where you can pick up souvenirs, too. However, the big draw is the cruising. Make sure you’ve got a good view for your arrival at and departure from the village, as it’s a truly memorable experience.

Day 5 Olden, Norway
Olden
Port Visit

Nestled at the end of the majestic Innvikfjorden - one of Norway's most iconic fjords - Olden is a sensationally pretty town surrounded by spectacularly beautiful mountains. It’s also home to the Skylift, a fully accessible cable car that climbs almost 1,000 metres to the peak of Mt. Hoven. At the top, the views of the fjord and surrounding mountains are unforgettable. There’s also a restaurant with warming log fires, so you can sit back and soak up the vista over a nice bite to eat.

If you’re not keen on the cable car, Olden town centre is a pleasant 15-minute walk from the ship. There, you’ll find a few shops, restaurants and bars, and can relax and enjoy the landscape at a lower altitude. You’re also welcome to stay aboard the Iona and spend the day enjoying its excellent facilities.

Day 6 Flåm, Norway
Flåm
Flåm
Port Visit

Spectacularly situated at the end of a branch of Norway’s longest and deepest fjord - the 205 km Sognefjord - Flåm is a small, picture-perfect village with sensational mountain views. Here, the highlight is just as much the epic approach along the fjord as the destination itself. Known as the ‘King of the Fjords’, the landscape’s towering mountains, tumbling waterfalls and lush green hillsides are majestic.

Compact but beautiful, Flåm is largely flat and accessible, and home to a local museum and several restaurants. It is also the departure point for the world-famous Flåmsbana Railway Line, though Limitless Travellers will have to book this independently as there are only two wheelchair spaces. Leaving Flåm, the ship will pass back through the gorgeous Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord.

Due to its size, Flåm is sometimes an anchor port that requires small tenders to reach shore, restricting access. You can learn more about anchor ports in our FAQs.

Day 7 At Sea
Celebrity Cruises Apex
Onboard Entertainment

Equipped with a 20ft 4k wrap-around LED screen that’s regularly integrated into shows and performances, The Theater is the Apex’s flagship entertainment venue and boasts one of the most modern designs you’ll find anywhere on the water. From multi-sensory spectacles to Broadway-style shows, it’s home to an enormously diverse range of entertainment.

The Apex also boasts The Club - a multi-use venue with a great dance floor that hosts everything from gaming competitions to DJ performances and smaller productions. The Caravan venue offers a unique twist on the classic circus variety show, while Eden is a spectacular nature-inspired space that hosts themed nights throughout your holiday. Finally, there’s always something happening on the open-air Resort Deck, too.

Day 8 Zeebrugge, Belgium
Bruges
Bruges
Onboard Stop

As Zeebrugge is a closed port, Limitless cannot currently provide accessible transport between the ship and Bruges. This means that those Limitless Travellers who wish to visit the city will need to book on the P&O excursion at an additional cost. This must be arranged with P&O directly. Those Limitless Travellers who do not want to leave the ship can make the most of the onboard facilities and enjoy the vessel at its quietest.

As always, the friendly Limitless Team will be on hand throughout the day to offer support, company, and assistance on the ship. Whether you choose to relax on deck, pamper yourself in the spa, or take part scheduled activities, you’ll be well looked after.

Day 9 Southampton, UK
Cruise pick up
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!

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 [PHONE_NUMBER].

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 [PHONE_NUMBER].

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.

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.

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.

What Limitless Travellers Say

Just back from a cruise with Limitless

I realised I needed more support than I thought. When Jono Matthews first said hello with his infectious smile and offered to help I automatically felt his trust. Over the cruise he was always there for me supporting me and checking in. He's an asset to Limitless and I am looking forward to returning on holiday.

I am still reeling with excitement

Leyla (Limitless Cruise Advisor) has been nothing but kind, helpful, respectful, paying attention to everything detail of my future trip. I cannot recommend this company enough. I am still reeling with excitement to be able to holiday on a cruise ship.

Second booking

I have just made my second booking with Limitless for a cruise with Adam whose customer service was exceptional, thank you. This wonderful company seem to just understand exactly what you need and nothing is too much trouble.
