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 Aurora. 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.

Hoist equipment is available for Limitless Travellers who require it, ensuring everyone can enjoy the facilities. Whirlpool spas are attached to several of the pools and poolside refreshments are available at all three locations.

Located at the head of one of the country’s most spectacular fjords, Nordfjordeid is a small, charming and perfectly formed town that combines sensational natural surroundings with more than a few sites of cultural and historical interest. The traditional architecture gives the town an authentic feel and is a big part of its appeal, too.

The Sagastad Viking Heritage Centre is an essential visit for history fans, as it houses a 30-metre, walk-aboard replica of the Myklebust, one of the largest Viking ships ever discovered. The modern opera house and the 19th-century Eid Church are architecturally fascinating and impressive local landmarks, too. The day ends with the ship returning back down the awe-inspiring Nordfjord, following its beautiful scenery and placid waters out to sea.

Known as Norway’s mountain capital, Åndalsnes is situated on the edge of the towering Romsdal Alps and at the head of beautiful Romsdalsfjord. A small town that’s regularly used as a gateway for hikers, cyclists and mountaineers setting off on high-altitude adventures.

For Limitless Travellers, the remarkable landscapes and breathtaking natural environment are the town’s main attractions. The accessible Norsk Tindesenter museum is certainly worth a visit, providing fascinating insight into the history and development of mountaineering. Also accessible, the Romsdalsgondolen cable car rises 708 metres above sea level for epic 360 views from the restaurant at the top. Those interested in visiting the famous Trollstigen road nearby will need to book the excursion with P&O independently.

Day 8 Ålesund, Norway
Alesund, Norway
Port Visit

Famous for its unique architecture, Ålesund is the cultural centre of the Sunnmøre region and a relaxed and atmospheric town.

The approach to the port includes a scenic journey through the Geirangerfjord, and the town centre is just 10 minutes from the dock. We often take a short walk around the prettiest areas before stopping for lunch and a spot of shopping.

Both the Art Nouveau Centre and the open-air Sunnmøre Museum are also accessible. The local wheelchair-friendly Hop-On, Hop-Off bus also tours several local attractions. However, spaces are limited and Limitless Travellers will need to book their place independently and in advance.

The city market is the place to pick up mementoes, while the imposing Stavanger Cathedral is Norway’s oldest, and the picturesque Blue Promenade is fantastic for a post-lunch stroll or roll. For a full tour of Stavanger’s main attractions you could board the wheelchair-accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tour, which stops at the port.

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

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.

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.
