Norway cruises - sea and river cruises
Cruises in Norway
The land of trolls, fjords and the famous salmon can get closer with a sea cruise in Norway. This travel format allows you to enjoy the magnificent nature, get acquainted with the past and present of Norwegian cities, taste local cuisine and get to know the customs and traditions of our northern neighbor..
Fjords and bays
One of the priority tourist destinations in the country is fjord cruises, of which there are many hundreds in the country. These sea bays, deeply cut into the coast, look very picturesque and majestic. The rocks that form the fjord reach a height of a kilometer and a trip through such water canyons delivers a lot of delight and admiration..
Another natural attraction that cruises in Norway showcase are ancient glaciers. Their age reaches several million years and huge blocks of blue ice glisten under the sun like fantastic gems..
Constellation of cities
The cruise program in Norway invariably includes visits to the most famous cities in the country. Travelers go ashore in the capital and other places and get acquainted with the sights and monuments:
- In Oslo, the Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park, where works of contemporary Norwegian masters are exhibited, is recommended for a must-see. Among the sculptures there are both fairy-tale characters and heroes of the ancient Norse sagas. By the way, a very interesting exposition awaits guests in the Viking Ship Museum.
- Dozens of museums are open in Bergen, each of which is able to captivate an inquisitive traveler with interesting exhibits. However, the city itself looks like an open-air museum, and its embankment is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Rooftop walks in Scandinavia
During cruises in Norway, tourists also go ashore in the Hellesilt area, which is called the top of the fjord country. The views are so great that everyone becomes a photographer and cameraman. Hornindal, the deepest lake in Europe, is located at an altitude of one and a half thousand meters above sea level, and the beauty of the vaults of the distant Geiranger fjord can be compared with the splendor of a medieval Gothic cathedral..
Cruises in Norway are also a great opportunity to shop and buy souvenirs for friends and family. Moomin figurines and hand-knitted woolen sweaters and hats with the famous "Norwegian" ornaments are especially popular here..
