The Norwegian fjords They are one of the most spectacular natural places in the world, with fascinating landscapes that go from the top of the fjords to the lowest parts. There are many fjords that you can find, all beautiful and each with its own particularities, which make them unique. Make a Norwegian fjord cruise It is one of the great claims of all those who decide to travel to Norway.
Below I will give you all the details of the cruises through the Norwegian fjords so you know what you will find:
- The Geirangerfjord It is a spectacular fjord 15 kilometers long with totally blue waters that reflect a beautiful mountain landscape. Through it you can enjoy one of the most beautiful and spectacular fjord cruises you can do, enjoying several waterfalls, spectacular nature, the Valldola river and the mythical ‘Stair of the Trolls’. In that area you can go hiking, rafting, skiing and visit a few farms.
- The Fjaerlandsfjorg It is a spectacular fjord that during the cruise takes you to the Jostedalsbreen glacier, one of the most spectacular in the country. Great natural beauty and a totally calm environment where all you want to do is enjoy the landscapes that will be before your eyes. There is so much silence that even if you pay attention you can hear the sound of the glacier moving.
- The Sognefjord It is the longest and deepest fjord in the country, a natural paradise with infinite contrasts depending on whether you visit it in winter or summer, since depending on the season they seem like two completely different places. In winter, the waterfalls freeze dramatically, while in summer they are at full capacity. There you can also visit a farm and see the oldest wooden church in Norway, which was built in the middle of the 12th century.
- The Hafrsfjord It is, they say, the fjord in which Norway developed, specifically on the slopes. There is a bay with spectacular views and you can visit a lot of the most picturesque villages. On the mountain you will see three giant swords reminiscent of the Battle of Hafrsfjord, which made the country unite into a single region.
- The Lysefjord It is the best you can do if you want to climb the top of the Preikestolen, a spectacular rocky platform that rises more than 600 meters from the fjord. Incredible views from the top of the fjord and almost to infinity, it seems that the landscape never ends.
There are many more fjords but I think these are the most interesting to visit on a cruise.
