Get a f lavour of Norway with TV’s Hairy Bikers
Explore the fjords with the chefs on an amazing nine- day food cruise
THE majesty of Norway’s incredible fjords passing by as you cruise in luxury; the sight of puffins, and seals on the rocks and sheer cliffs; stunning waterfalls and spectacular landscapes – and that’s not all on this fabulous nine-day trip. You’ll be joined by two of the UK’s favourite chefs and TV personalities, our special guests Dave Myers and Si King, better known as the Hairy Bikers.
Your holiday begins with an overnight hotel stay in Amsterdam before you set sail on Holland America Line’s five-star Nieuw Statendam.
During your luxurious full-board cruise, you’ll have time to discover the pretty Norwegian ports of Bergen and Molde and marvel at the awesome natural beauty of the Hardanger and Geiranger fjords.
The Hairy Bikers are huge fans of Norway, having toured the country’s west coast as part of their epic 5,000mile European journey for the BBC’s Hairy Bikers’ Bakeation.
Famous for their infectious humour and love of great food, wine and conversation, the Hairy Bikers will host a private cocktail party and cooking demonstration on board the ship, and join you for a special Q&A and book-signing event.
Readers booking this exclusive holiday will also receive a hard-cover copy of the duo’s latest cookbook, The Hairy Bikers’ British Classics, which Dave and Si will happily sign when you meet them.
Si says: ‘We discovered the wonders of Norway for the first time while filming Bakeation in 2012, when we cooked on a ship going down one of the fjords. It was one of the most beautiful places we’d ever been to.
‘We always promised to go back, and now we are. The food and people are amazing – and Dave is longing to get back to his Viking roots. We sincerely look forward to seeing you on our Nordic adventure.’
