The next day, we sail into the iconic Geiranger Fjord. The ship’s approach offers stunning views of towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. A shore excursion to the Ørnevegen (Eagle’s Road) provides a thrilling perspective of the fjord’s majesty.
Alesund and Olden
In Alesund, renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture, we wander through streets lined with beautifully preserved buildings. A climb to the top of Aksla Hill rewards us with panoramic views of the city and surrounding islands.
Olden offers a gateway to the spectacular Briksdal Glacier. A hike through lush valleys leads us to this natural wonder, where the sheer ice walls glisten under the summer sun.
Stavanger and Return
Stavanger, with its charming old town and vibrant cultural scene, is our final port of call. A visit to the Norwegian Petroleum Museum offers fascinating insights into the country’s rich oil history.
