12 Night Cruise sailing from Southampton roundtrip aboard Adonia.

Adonia will be the smallest of the seven ships within our fleet. Designed to offer a wonderfully intimate cruising experience, she will radiate small ship charm. Stepping on board will be akin to returning home; there will be a comfortingly familiar feel to your surroundings with experienced P&O Cruises officers and crew on hand to look after your every need. Due to her small numbers - she carries just 710 passengers - Adonia will be incredibly sociable and within no time at all, you'll be surrounded by friendly, familiar faces. Exclusively for adults, Adonia will travel far and wide, exploring ports the larger ships of today are unable to visit.

With wood-style panelling, a grand staircase and traditional artworks, her ambience and decor will be in keeping with the traditions of cruising. Yet being a 21st century ship, (she was built in 2001) there'll be modernity to her detailing, all of which will be beautifully crafted. Her Crow's Nest will offer far reaching views by day and live music by night, and Anderson's bar will feel reassuringly British. In her grand lounge, the dance floor will play host to an elegant waltz or cha-cha-cha and its stage will present a wide range of evening entertainment. There will be a card room with panoramic ocean views, ample sunbathing space and restaurants which range from six-course silver service to al fresco grill fare. And of course being smaller, everything is only just a short walk away.

Cruise Overview:
A trip to the 'top of the world' and the magical Land of the Midnight Sun are just two of the memories you'll take away from this unforgettable cruise with Adonia.

Peaceful Olden nestles at the southern end of one branch of the beautiful Nordfjord at the entrance to the gorgeous Oldedalen Valley and will welcome you to Norway. Historic Trondheim is followed by a cruise through the picturesque Trondheimsfjord. Your next stop is Honningsvaag and leaving here, you'll experience a magical evening cruise past the imposing North Cape.

More memorable sights can be found at the 'top of the world' in Bodo, gateway to the Arctic. Pretty Stavanger then provides a picturesque end to this fantastic tour of the Norwegian Fjords before you cruise back to Southampton.

About Olden
The peaceful village of Olden has the perfect Fjordland cruise setting - nestling at the southern end of one branch of the beautiful Nordfjord and at the entrance to the gorgeous Oldedalen Valley.
A lake in the valley has been turned a rich, deep green by the river pouring down the mountains from the vast, million-years-old Briksdal Glacier. Giant waterfalls also cascade down making the views even more spectacular as you travel through the valley to the foot of the glacier - one of the offshoots of the vast Jostedal Glacier now designated as a national park.
Other tours head overland to the inner Nordfjord area with its wind-blown rocks, towering mountains and verdant valleys. Also in the area are folk and glacier museums, a skiing centre on the glacier plateau and northern Europes deepest lake - Hornindalsvatnet.

About Trondheim
Enjoy the best of all possible worlds in Norways first-ever capital, which is still its third largest city and one of its most popular Fjordland cruise ports, Trondheim. Looking south along the picturesque Trondheim fjord, the most northerly in Norways west coast Fjordland region, are lush forests and valley but look north and you see the beginnings of the vast expanse of the Arctic Ocean.
But, whichever way you are heading, there is much to enjoy in Trondheim before you set sail. Visit Stiftsgarden, the King of Norways official residence, which also happens to be the oldest wooden building in northern Europe, while the Archbishops Palace is the oldest secular building in Scandinavia. Among the pick of several fascinating museums is one featuring the decorative arts with its collections of 16th century ceramics and Art Nouveau artefacts. For the best bars and restaurants, try the 18th century Bakklandet waterfront district.

About Stavanger
The gateway to Norways spectacularly scenic fjordland, Stavanger is also a town with its own rich heritage as it is regarded as the 'Cradle of the Vikings'. Your ship will dock right next to Gamle Stavanger, the old quarter, with its collection of 200-year-old white wooden houses (considered national heritage monuments in their own right), 12th century cathedral modelled on Winchester Cathedral, markets, craft stores and art galleries.
Look out, too, for the Three Swords monument in the Hafrsfjord rock recalling the Viking sea battle won by King Harald the Fairhair to create Norway as one kingdom back in the 9th century. This is on the way to a recreation of an Iron Age Farm at Jernaldergarden. The other major landmark is a short boat trip away through the delightful Stavanger archipelago to the 2,000ft high Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen).
