Itinerary

Day 1 London Tilbury At London Tilbury Port, embark Magellan (3T) in preparation for an afternoon sailing. Day 2 Rotterdam, The Netherlands This morning we arrive in Rotterdam where we have half a day to explore. After being severely impacted by German air attacks in 1940, the city was rebuilt leading to its current futuristic appearance. Marvel at the wealth of fine museums and enjoy the energetic atmosphere and top-class dining venues. Early afternoon we sail towards Norway. Day 3 At sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea. Day 4 Olden, Norway Explore the picturesque village of Olden, sitting at the end of the stunning Nordfjord amongst lush-green hillsides and charming farms. From the village the Oldendalen Valley paves the way through mighty mountains, glistening lakes and green landscapes to the striking Jostendalsbreen Glacier. Day 5 Kristiansund This morning we dock in Kristiansund, named after the Norwegian King Christian VI in 1942. This beautiful west coast town is renowned for its impressive architecture, built following the destruction of the city by the World War II bombings. Discover the wonderful architecture and admire the beautiful natural harbour which shields the city centre from adverse weather. Day 6 At sea Relax on board as we cruise towards Alta. Day 7 Alta Early arrival into Alta, the region of Finnmark’s largest town located on the inner side of the beautiful Altafjord and along the stunning Alta River, renowned as one of Norway’s best salmon fishing rivers. The town is divided into three interesting boroughs: Bossekop, the old trading and market area; Elvebakken, which makes up the eastern part of Alta and home to the town’s stunning harbour; and the third is the modern new town. Norway’s largest plateau, Finnmarksvidda, is home to breathtaking river valleys, extensive woodland and beautiful flora, and of a winter night the northern lights often dance across its skies. Day 8 Honningsvåg Norwegian law states that a city requires at least 5,000 inhabitants, however Honningsvåg was granted city status in 1996 with only 2,500 residents. Its great location in the Barents Sea means that enthralling excursions can be made to the magnificent North Cape, Europe’s northernmost point. Day 9 Tromsø The Capital of the Arctic, Tromsø, is situated almost 220 miles north of the magnificent Arctic Circle and boasts an exquisite array of landmarks including the world’s northernmost university. Visit the magnificent summit of Mount Storsteinen by cable car to admire the breathtaking views over the city which crosses two islands and the mainland. The Arctic Cathedral is another unforgettable sight with its striking triangular structure and incredible glass mosaic produced by the talent artist, Victor Sparre. A number of fascinating museums can also be found here including The Polar Museum, a fine exhibition of local polar seafaring traditions. Day 10 At sea Day 11 Trondheim Dating back as far as AD 997, Trondheim showcases a fascinating history through numerous historical sites, impressive museums and art galleries. Discover the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral, built over the tomb of Norway’s patron saint, St Olav and now the country’s national sanctuary admired for its Gothic style, impressive west wall and stunning glass stained windows. Wander through the picturesque town to encounter colourful warehouses, tranquil waterways and natural scenery. Day 12 Åndalsnes This morning we arrive in Åndalsnes, a beautiful small town at the mouth of the River Rauma; stretching to 42km, the river boasts dramatic waterfalls, rapids and is a popular destination for salmon fishing. Åndalsnes is surrounded by dramatic mountainous scenery; join an exciting optional excursion to the fantastic Romsdal Alps, a breathtaking snow-capped mountain range home to Europe’s tallest rock face: Troll Wall. Day 13 Bergen Norway’s second largest city, Bergen, is a beautiful sight to behold with its charming small town, vibrant atmosphere and abundance of museums and art galleries. Founded more than 900 years ago, Bergen’s colourful Bryggen wharf features wooden gabled buildings that belonged originally to Hanseatic merchants. Bergen is also the perfect opportunity to admire magnificent scenery as it’s situated against a beautiful backdrop of seven mountains; enjoy a marvellous funicular journey to the breathtaking summit of Mount Floien to capture incredible panoramic views of Bergen and Norway’s glistening coastline. Day 14 At sea Day 15 London Tilbury Arrive at London Tilbury Port.

Introducing Titan Travel

Titan will never compromise on quality. We continue to make every effort to ensure that, when you travel with us, you enjoy the holiday of a lifetime, every time. Every individual aspect of your holiday has been carefully considered to deliver the best ratio of quality and value, provide complete peace of mind and yet still satisfy the most adventurous travel spirit. The expert planning, choice of hotels and transportation methods, included excursions and the services of an expert Titan tour manager can really enhance your appreciation of a destination and transform an ordinary holiday into a truly inspiring one.

Many escorted holidays sold by British tour operators originate in the destination and are aimed at the international market, with multilingual commentaries, sweepingly general itineraries and local contracted hotels and tour managers. Titan holidays are different. They are expertly crafted in-house and are only on sale in the UK; our well-travelled product specialists know their destinations inside out and select the best hotels, airlines, trains and cruise vessels. Properly balanced itineraries, most unique to us, are designed to include excursions and visits of particular interest to British travelers as well as a number of free days when there is always a choice of relaxation or enjoyable things to do. And, in the majority of cases, Titan holidays are escorted by the best tour managers in the business.

Exceptional Value

Quality often comes with a price tag and, indeed, Titan has never striven to be the cheapest tour operator. What you get with us though is unparalleled value for money, with a host of inclusions as standard and a range of exclusive offers and discounts.

Traveling in style
With Titan, not only does your holiday begin and end at your front door, it also includes scheduled international flights with world-renowned airlines and the most memorable form of touring transport. Where this is a coach, we look to provide the best available, with air-conditioning, w/c and daily seat rotation in the interests of fairness. But escorted tours are not simply limited to coaches. Titan is one of the UK’s leading rail specialists and a number of our holidays incorporate journeys on iconic trains, that seem to transport you not only through some of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes in the world, but also back in time to a nostalgic ‘golden age’ of luxurious and stylish travel.

If you are undecided between the elegance and relaxation of a cruise and the enthralling insight of an escorted tour, Titan’s Cruise & Tour® holidays could be a perfect choice. You can cruise with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Fred.Olsen and Holland America, around regions of awe-inspiring beauty and head ashore for an extra land-based touring element. Alternatively, the waterways of Europe, Egypt and China link the most spectacular cultural gems in picturesque fashion and a river cruise is an outstanding way to appreciate wonderful destinations from a different and more relaxed perspective. Our river cruise partners include Uniworld, multi award-winning operator of 5★ boutique river cruises.

Included Excursions
We don’t believe that our holidaymakers should pay extra for optional excursions to experience what are obviously the most important attractions of a country or region. You get much better value if they are included from the start. Unless otherwise stated, every visit mentioned in the tour itinerary is included in the cost of your holiday.

Quality named hotels and lodges
Hotels on Titan holidays are much more than simply a place to sleep at the end of the day. They may place you at the heart of a thrilling city or in a retreat of sublime tranquillity; reflect the character and heritage of a destination or play an integral part in its social scene; present inspiring views or a range of exhilarating experiences. Location and quality are key considerations. At Titan, we always seek to provide the best of both choosing a lower priced holiday based on lower quality, more remote hotels can often be a false economy in the time and money you end up wasting during your stay.

Low or No Single Supplements

We are always looking at ways of minimizing or eliminating our single supplements. A number of tours featured on this website have low or no single supplements to pay.

The UK's best holiday price promise

It has always been a Titan principle that the earlier you book, the lower the price you pay. Our holiday price promise provides complete peace of mind – if we subsequently reduce the price to below what you have already paid (after any discounts have been applied), we will contact you to refund the difference†!

This guarantee applies to tour prices only (excluding all Traveller, by Titan holidays and any selected loyalty rewards we may offer to past travelers from time to time) and does not include airline upgrades, holiday additions, extended stays or regional connecting flights and selected special offer products.
