DFDS Set Sail with Norwegian Discovery Cruises

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GLASGOW, UK - June 09, 2008 - The Norwegian Fjords have been described by the National Geographic Traveler Magazine as "the best unspoiled travel destination in the world' and the region has been placed on the UNESCO world heritage list. Some of the most awe inspiring, natural and unspoiled scenery in Europe can be found here. Norway has the highest concentration of Fjords in the world - with the most beautiful to be found in Western Norway.

Exploring areas such as the Stavanger Rock Pulpit has traditionally been difficult to reach. And the cost has made this journey of discovery equally inaccessible for all but the most determined traveler.

The rich heritage of Norway and the stunning scenery of the Fjords are now easily accessible to everyone with Norwegian short breaks by ferry from DFDS Seaways.

Explore Traditional Norwegian Villages
To all but the most intrepid of traveler's experiences of Norway are usually of large metropolitan cities. Rural Norway delivers much more than the cities ever can. From crashing waterfalls to soothing island escapes you can see all sides of nature without needing to travel too far. Traveling by ferry to Norway means you can sit back, relax and enjoy your journey allowing you to enjoy your break from the moment you leave the UK.

"Never before have I arrived at my destination and felt so relaxed. Onboard we had the freedom to sample the delights of what is a floating hotel with a built in cinema! We arrived at our holiday cabin ready for a holiday - not needing one!" Brian Aitken, Editor, The Journal

Discover Norway
When flying over by plane you sadly miss the rugged beauty of Norway's Fjord coast. Bergen is known as the "Gateway to the Fjords", with its location on the Western coast of Norway sitting at the mouth of the Fjord Valley. A ferry cruise into the port of Bryggen, the famous waterfront area with a great maritime history is an unforgettable introduction to this character-filled city. Nearby Stavanger provides a more metropolitan experience while delivering the authentic and traditional air of Norway. Wander round the city and discover the natural wonders of Stavanger Pulpit Rock.

Experience Stavanger Pulpit Rock
The Pulpit Rock, near Stavanger, is one of Norway's most stunning natural attractions. The 25 square meter outcrop of rock is 604 meters above the sea. There is argument over where the name of the rock is because it was the site of ritual sacrifice or because of its shape. Seeing this towering rock formation for the first time can take your breath away. If you reach the top of Stavanger Pulpit Rock you will, literally, have your head in the clouds. You can enjoy the wonder of Stavanger Pulpit Rock on a short break while cruising through the Norwegian Fjords by ferry.
