"NORWAY BY CRUISE SHIP" Norway by balhannah

Norway Travel Guide: 10,630 reviews and 30,015 photos

We have arrived in Norway, via MSC Orchestra Cruise Ship.

As a lover of Cruises, we thought this would be a great way to see the fjords, it sure was!

I would like to thank fellow VT member and friend foona [Berit] for the help she gave me when planning my trip to her beautiful, scenic country.

Thankyou

Our cruise to Norway began in COPENHAGEN.

From there, we cruised to KIEL in Germany, then had a day at sea..............

before stopping for our 2nd port of call which was GEIRANGER.

Geiranger was fantastic, we had a great time, but now we are cruising to FLAM

Flam was wonderful.
We did the Flamsbana train trip, and another one up the Mountain to Stegastein Look-out, both the trips were great!

Our next port is STAVANGER.

The Ship anchors right beside the old town, so it is very easy to walk and see Stavanger.
We found a good look-out and did a fjord cruise, both were good!

We are now moving onto our final port of call, the Capital of Norway - OSLO.

We loved Oslo and were sad to leave this lovely City.

In the morning we will be back in Copenhagen, the Port we began this cruise from.

The scenery on this cruise has been incredible.

A cruise to Norway is a wonderful way to see the fjords, one I would recommend to do.
Probably not with MSC, as the food wasn't the best, but there are plenty of cruise-lines to choose from.

I hope you enjoyed the "virtual" cruise as much as we did the real one!
