A True Voyage of Discovery

By guest blogger Steve Newman

Cruise passengers are fast becoming ever more adventurous with their destination choices and the latest cruise announced by Voyages of Discovery is in this vein. The Norwegian Explorer cruise will take the mv Discovery across the whole coast of Norway on a 13 day voyage beginning 30th July 2011.

July is the perfect time to experience the rugged coastal landscapes of Norway at their most tranquil and beautiful. Travelling by sea is the best way to reach its many remote islands, inlets, coves and giant fjords and the 650-passenger, 4-star mv Discovery is the perfect vessel for these waters.

Small enough to reach out-of-the-way ports, yet large enough to make light work of crossing the great oceans, Discovery avoids the hustle and bustle of today’s larger liners. Instead she has been expressly conceived for the company’s special brand of discovery cruising to create an atmosphere on board that is friendly and relaxed.

The cruise is attracting budding historians, wildlife lovers and walkers who know mv Discovery will take them closer to the coastal landscapes and incredible wildlife which thrives in these challenging but often magical environments including the breathtaking Geiranger Fiord.

Onboard the ship there are two inspirational guest speakers. Greg Neale, the founder of the BBC History magazine, will be on hand to discuss the rich history of this enchanting region. Alongside him, Mark Baldwin, the UK’s leading speaker on WW2 code breaking, will bring a 1944 Enigma – the original code breaking machine onboard to discuss its dramatic influence on the course of war.

With convenient road and rail links to the port of Harwich, joining mv Discovery’s range of no-fly cruises is made even easier.
