known as “the big blue”, the view from the water of the cliffs
and craggy coves with the immense outline of the Alps is breathtaking. The

Tall, white, and beautiful! She has seduced a tall, dark, Norwegian captain.
Fiords, adventure, camaraderie, and treasure islands (well maybe!) all await
you when you set sail on the Sorlandet, the oldest functioning full-rigged
