Welcome on board! Your holiday has finally begun and the crew of Adonia extend to you a warm welcome for what promises to be a delightful holiday. Over the next 14 nights there’s an array of entertainment and events to enjoy in all of Adonia’s exceptional venues and we will be on hand to ensure that you have everything you need for a relaxing break.

To celebrate the start of your holiday, there’s an evening of sparkling entertainment planned for tonight. And you can enjoy exquisite cuisine in one of Adonia’s restaurants, from Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill to the five course menu in the main dining room. However you choose to spend your evening, we’re certain you’ll be delighted with the exceptional choices Adonia has to offer.

You’ll receive a picturesque welcome to Norway, as you’re greeted by a sea of white timber buildings in Stavanger, before calling at Skjolden, which is surrounded by steep hills and spectacular waterfalls. Bodo, the ‘Gateway to the Arctic’, boasts extensive scenic vistas and in Honningsvaag you can visit Europe’s most northerly point, before enjoying a magical evening cruise past the imposing North Cape.

Alta is the ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ and one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights and in Tromsø a cable car ride up Storsteinen offers breathtaking views over the city. The friendly town of Andalsnes nestles at the northern end of sparkling Romsdalfjord, which provides a beautiful evening cruise beneath the towering Romsdal Alps. Quaint Bergen is dramatically dominated by imposing Mount Ulriken and your final port is picturesque Farsund with its rugged coastline and fine sandy beaches.

We hope you thoroughly enjoy your time with us and look forward to meeting you during your holiday.

Welcome aboard the Adonia

The Port Agent’s contact details can also be found on the front of the ‘Horizon’ and should be referred to if you encounter any problems ashore.

road follows the shoreline
