Discover Norway’s Natural Magic

As well as navigating dramatic coastline and steep-sided fjords, you’ll visit Kristiansand, with its atmospheric Old Town and delicious fish market. In Stavanger, the streets are lined with traditional wooden homes, while mountainous Flam and Olden are located at the end of two iconic fjords, the Sognefjord and Innvikfjorden. Art Nouveau Ålesund is architecturally unique, and your final stop, Haugesund, is the historic home of the Vikings.

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

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

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 Kristiansand, Norway
Kristiansand Norway Cathedral
Port Visit

With its relaxed, arty atmosphere and sun-splashed summers, Kristiansand is a popular holiday destination for Norwegians and visitors alike. The city centre packs a lot into a small area, so there’s plenty to explore without walking too far.

The Posebyen old town in Kristiansand features pretty streets lined with charming wooden homes and shops, while locals flock to the city's urban beach to make the most of the long days of summer sun. Finally, the Fiskebrygga - the city's fishing pier - is a must-visit for seafood lovers. Generally, the Limitless group will head straight for the lively local fish market, before making its way to the town centre to see the impressive Town Hall and Cathedral. There's also the city's fantastic Bystranda Beach to visit, too.

Day 4 Stavanger, Norway

Port Visit

Land ahoy! Once a Viking stronghold, Stavanger is famed for the beautiful wooden homes that line the streets of the historic city centre. The port is a flat, 10-minute walk from the city centre and there are plenty of local restaurants and bars close by, making it a great opportunity to sample deliciously authentic Norwegian cuisine.

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. The wheelchair-accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tours several of Stavanger’s main attractions but there are limited spaces and Limitless Travellers will need to book independently to guarantee a place.

Day 5 Flam, Norway
Flåm norway landscape of the fjord
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 6 Olden, Norway

Limitless Excursion - Loen Skylift

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 Loen Skylift’s operation is weather-dependent. If the attraction is closed upon arrival, this excursion may not be possible..

Day 7 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. 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. 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.

Day 8 Haugesund, Norway
Haugesund, Norway landscape image
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 maximise 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 9 At Sea
Celebrity Cruises Apex solarium
Sailing Home

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 10 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!

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.

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.
