Celebrity Cruises welcomes you to the Norwegian fjords, where hearty Vikings sailed their ships centuries ago. This voyage around the majestic coastline of Norway has been described as being amoung the world's most beautiful journeys. You will experience the natural delights of a land of ever changing moods, where every day is an unforgettable experience. Every turn of the shoreline brings a scene more spectacular than the last. Aboard your cruise ship, CENTURY (70,606 tonnes), you will gaze in wonder at spectacular waterfalls cascading down sheer mountain cliffs and plunging into the steel blue waters.
The joy of cruising these regions is that you'll see sights that you simply cannot view by land. You also have the added bonus of enjoying all the amenities of a luxury 5-star premium hotel on board your ship, such as health and beauty facilities, great evening entertainment, attentive service from your crew and gourmet cuisine wherever you want whenever you want! Blending classic elegance and modern sophistication, Century has a style all its own. The three-storey Grand Foyer featuring a waterfall and a winding staircase, the elegance of the Grand Restaurant table settings, the glamorous Crystal Room, the expansive Celebrity Theatre or the Aqua Spa facilities meeting every kind of pampering need you can dream up - all this is part of the unique ambience which greets you from the moment you step aboard.
This magical cruise departs from Amsterdam, famous for its historic city center, the canas with their splendid merchants' houses and the relaxed, tolerant atmosphere of the city. However Amsterdam has a lot more to offer. Whatever your taste, viewing the museums, shopping, exploring the old city or just people-watching from a cafe, you'll find it's all possible in Amsterdam. Probably the nicest way to get to know Amsterdam is from the water, on board one of the many comfortable canal cruise boats which take you past the mansions, historic churches and bridges.
Sailing through the Norwegian Fjords, one can really feel this country's seafaring heritage come alive. You will visit picturesque ports of call at Alesund, Olden, Flam and Bergen. Alesund is a perfect place to explore some of Norway's most famous natural and cultural attractions. Its beautiful architecture is known far and wide, and the myriad of turrets and spires that give the town its distinctive character are like something from a fairytale. The peaceful town of Olden sits at the edge of the perpetually advancing Jostedal Glacier - which also happens to be Europe's largest glacier, towering 6,200 feet over a deep valley. Embark on a hike through lush mountain valleys, or if you're still feeling adventurous, explore the nearby caves and the well-preserved historic sites.
Beautiful Flam is situated in the innermost part of the Sognefjord, surrounded by high mountains, in the heart of Norway's Fjords. In Flam you can experience the Flam Railway, one of the world's most spectacular railway lines, providing panoramic views to Norway's dramatic mountain landscape. Flam is today a hectic harbour with sightseeing boats and lively street life. Backed by mountains, Bergen offers visitors a cornucopia of delights, from the sheer splendour of its rugged glacial scenery to an ancient stone church containing the finest example of baroque art in Norway.
