Discover Norway’s Natural Beauty

Sailing north from Southampton, you’ll head straight for the “Queen of the Fjords”, Hardangerfjord, one of Norway’s most impressive waterways. Next, it’s on to Olden, where the local skylift will take you 1,000 metres up to the peak of Mt. Hoven for commanding views of this mountainous region. Ålesund’s Art Nouveau architecture is an absolute delight, while a final stop in Zeebrugge means there's an opportunity to visit fairytale Bruges.

Modern Cruising on the Cunard Queen Anne

You’ll journey on the accessible Queen Anne - the latest addition to Cunard’s fleet. Having made its maiden journey in May 2024, it is the epitome of modern cruising. From its state-of-the-art interiors, which blend traditional touches with contemporary style, to its incredible entertainment and diverse dining options, the Queen Anne never fails to impress.

Cruise Customers and staff Boarding
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
Queen Anne, Cunard Cruises
Exploring the Queen Anne

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 Queen Anne. 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 musical performance. 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 Hardangerfjord, Norway
Hardangerfjord, Norway Landscape image
Scenic Cruising

One of the world’s longest fjords, the Hardangerfjord runs 179 km from the heart of Norway’s mountainous interior to the Atlantic Ocean. With its thundering waterfalls, striking glaciers and breathtaking mountain scenery, this majestic fjord guarantees one of the most memorable cruise experiences on the planet. Which is why we’ll spend the entire day exploring the Hardangerfjord and appreciating its wonders.

The Queen of the Fjords, the Hardangerfjord’s banks are fertile farming land, and the area is known as the “fruit orchard of Norway”. As such, you’ll be treated to wonderful views of sprawling orchards that give way to towering mountain passes and snow-capped peaks. It’s a landscape of enormous scale and unforgettable beauty, and you’ll have a front row seat for the entire journey.

Day 4 Olden, Norway
Customers and staff Olden Skylift
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 5 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 6 At Sea
Cunard Cruises Queen Anne Royal Court theatre and entertainment
Onboard Entertainment

When it comes to entertainment, the Queen Anne has it all. From live music to theatre shows and cabaret, you’ll enjoy an ever-changing lineup of performers to thrill and captivate you. The Brights Light Society is an exciting collaboration with RWS Global and puts on a range of interactive shows, including interactive cinematic productions and variety performances. The Queens Room is renowned for its Cunard Signature Afternoon Tea and live music in the evening.

However, the two most prestigious venues aboard the Queen Anne are arguably the Royal Court Theatre and the Pavilion. While the former brings West End productions and fascinating Cunard Insights talks to the high seas, the latter features a retractable glass dome roof and shows alfresco movies in partnership with the BFI.

Day 7 Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium

Bruges
Onboard Stop

As Zeebrugge is a closed port, Limitless cannot currently provide accessible transport between the ship and Bruges. However, this is a great opportunity for you to make the most of the ship's incredible facilities and enjoy the vessel at its quietest. Whether you choose to relax on deck, pamper yourself in the spa, or take part in scheduled activities, the friendly Limitless Team will be on hand throughout the day to offer support, company, and assistance on the ship.

Limitless Travellers wishing to visit the city can book on the P&O excursion at an additional cost. Accessible places are limited and the excursion should be arranged with P&O directly.

Day 8 Southampton, UK

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!

FAQs

What’s included in a Cunard accessible cabin?

  • Wide access doors

  • Space for mobility scooters to be stored

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.
