HIKE ALONG MOUNT AKSLA (Code: ASD11)

Duration
3.00 h

Ålesund is the most important town on the northwest coast of Norway, today with a population of approx. 40.000. The setting is superb, built on three islands stretching out into the sea with the
spectacular Sunnmoere Alps in the background. Leave the port, board the coach for a short drive to Fagerlia school-centre and to our hike starting point. The experience will be thrilling as we walk
along a path just large enough for two people to pass next to the other. Climbing up the ridge of mount Aksla we can enjoy great views on both sides of the hill. To the north we have fjords, islands
and in the distance the open sea; to the southeast we have a range of snowclad peaks and the Borgundfjord. We continue along the path that gets a little more strenuous, but well worth the effort!
Passing by the so-called "dams" - in former days the town got its drinking water from here - and after approx. 75 minutes walk, we reach the viewpoint and we stop a while to admire the incredible
scenery! The last leg of the hike consists of descending the 418 steps to the little park at the foot of mount Aksla. On the way back to our ship, we have the opportunity to admire the special "Art
Nouveau" architecture of the town, rebuilt after a disastrous fire swept through the centre in January 1904, destroying almost 800 wooden houses. Finally, we will reach the pier on foot.

Climb onto a paddleboard and join the vibrant heart of life in Ålesund from an original perspective. As you'll discover, the city's historic "main street" is actually a stretch of water: the narrow

artery. As your paddle slices through the crystal-clear water, you'll pass under bridges while waving to the friendly faces adorning the sound. Leaving the sound, the endless horizon of the Borgund
Fjord's opens up before you, revealing Sula Mountain and the Sunnmøre Alps. Sitting low in the water and gazing up at this magnificent picture is a humbling experience even for the most seasoned

PANORAMIC KIEL AND SURROUNDINGS (Code: KIE20T)

Duration
2.00 h

This panoramic tour will give you an excellent overview of Kiel, your port of call, as well as the surrounding countryside. Thanks to its advantageous coastal location on the Baltic Sea, the beautiful
city of Kiel ​ the capital of the state of Schleswig-Holstein ​ is characterised by a rich maritime and naval tradition that it still maintains to this day. Kiel enjoys an international reputation as the venue
of several important sailing events, including the annual Kiel Week ​ the world's biggest sailing competition. In fact, the first-class conditions at sea and meticulous organisation on land have lent Kiel
the title of "the world's unofficial sailing capital", especially since the city hosted the Olympic sailing competitions in 1936 and 1972. One of these was held in the Kiel suburb of Schilksee, which is
naturally on the itinerary. The many little sailing boats and the unique architecture of Schilksee are a living testament to the colourful event. The tour of the city will also take you to see the famous
early 20th-century town hall, the majestic Kiel Fjord, an inlet of the Baltic Sea, and the impressive Kiel Canal, which both connects the North and Baltic Seas and is the world's busiest artificial
waterway. Your return to the pier and your ship marks the end of this scenic excursion.

cycling directly north. Pedalling out of the city, enjoy the green scenery all around you, passing grassy meadows on the route from Düsterbrook and Strande. The landscape then changes as you hit
the coast and find yourself cycling among waterfront communities of red-roofed villas, marinas filled with sailing boats, and forests leading down to sandy beaches. Arriving at Bülk Lighthouse, you
can watch the ships entering the mouth of the Bay of Kiel. Enjoy a coffee while you admire the splendid views, before you head to the city centre, where you will be given some free time in the
Germany's longest shopping street and clusters of restaurants and bars.

KIEL COAST AND COUNTRY BIKE TOUR (Code: KIEBK1)

Duration
4.50 h

What better way to get to know the attractive and very varied scenery around the historic port of Kiel than by bicycle? As you leave the city, the landscape starts to turn green, and the journey from
Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf and Mönkeberg takes you past green forests and grassy verges. But it doesn't stay green for long. When you arrive in Heikendorfer Bay, you'll be met by a coastal scene.
You'll pedal past waterfront villas with reed roofs, sail boats anchored in dinky marinas, and sandy beaches backed by woodland. The last leg of your outward-bound cycle will take you to Laboe,
where the beach has an unusual feature: a huge German submarine on the sand! It's part of the town's naval memorial and museum. During your break in Laboe, you can visit the submarine, watch
the kite-surfers from the beach or relax with a drink in one of the seaside cafés, before cycling back to the ship.
Please note: Guests will cycle for a total of 27 km. Children who are at least 155 cm tall are welcome to take part in this tour with the parent's/guardian's written consent.
