Exclusive for Mail on Sunday readers: Cruise Norway’s fjords with TV’s Hairy Bikers

With their sheer cliffs, stunning waterfalls and spectacular landscapes – and wildlife including puffins and seals – Norway’s fjords are truly an unforgettable sight. And on this incredible eight-day cruise you’ll travel in luxury, 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 2022 holiday begins in Amsterdam, where you’ll set sail on Holland America Line’s brand-new, five-star Rotterdam. During your deluxe 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 Hardangerfjord and Geirangerfjord.

The Hairy Bikers are huge fans of Norway, having toured the country’s west coast as part of their epic 5,000-mile European journey for the BBC’s Hairy Bikers’ Bakeation.

OUR SPECIAL GUESTS 

You will be joined by TV’s Hairy Bikers

Motorbike-loving cooks Simon ‘Si’ King, above left, and Dave Myers have written more than 20 cookbooks as the Hairy Bikers, with their diet book, The Hairy Dieters, scooping a National Book Award.

They are regulars on television and have toured the UK twice with their sellout live show, Big Night Out.

Famous for their infectious humour and love of great food, wine and conversation, the pair will host a private cocktail party and cooking demonstration on board ship, as well as joining you for a special question-and-answer and book-signing event.

Readers booking this exclusive holiday will receive a hard-cover copy of Dave and Si’s latest cookbook, The Hairy Bikers’ British Classics, which they will happily sign when you meet them.

Dave 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.’ Si adds: ‘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.’
