Voyage highlights

Ålesund – Begin in this elegant island town, famed for its Art Nouveau architecture and panoramic views from Mount Aksla. A vibrant gateway to the fjords, it blends history, harbour life, and local cuisine.

Trondheim – Norway’s former capital and a city steeped in Viking history. Explore the impressive Nidaros Cathedral, stroll along the colourful wharfs, and enjoy the city’s thriving food and cultural scene.

Return to Ålesund – Your journey ends where it began, with a newfound connection to Norway’s wild coast — a voyage of clear air, glimmering waters, local flavors, and centuries-old seafaring spirit.

From puffins and seals to fresh seafood and folk traditions, this is a voyage where every harbour tells a story and every horizon brings new beauty.

Vessel

Santa María Manuela

The Santa Maria Manuela was launched on 10 May 1937 in Lisbon. It is a 67-metre sailing ship. The ship was named after the owner’s wife, Maria Manuela, mother of 16 children. The main function of the Santa Maria Manuela was cod fishing. The Santa Maria Manuela underwent a number of structural changes over the years, from the removal of the masts to the installation of a navigation bridge. In 1993 the ship was considered obsolete, was dismantled and only the steel hull remained. The following year the Santa María Manuela Foundation was created, a project that united 17 institutions under the same purpose: to recover the ship. The SMM now has unique conditions for sea voyages, events, parties and training at sea. Predominant colour WHITE.
