A cruise in Northern Europe will give
your clients a chance to discover the
beautiful Scandinavian region.
A visit to Scandinavia is not complete
without experiencing the magnificent and
world famous fjords of Norway.
A unique landscape complete with
iridescent glaciers, deafening waterfalls,
secluded gorges and endless days.
This is an area that is part of the rugged
and generally inaccessible west coast of
Norway ideally explored by cruise ship.
A fjord is a work of art in its own right,
formed when the glaciers retreated and
valleys left behind were flooded by the
oceans.
Norwegian fjords are generally quite
narrow but very deep with steep cliffs and
numerous waterfalls created by melting
snow.
At more than 1,300 metres below sea
level, Sognefjord is not only the longest but
also Norway’s deepest.
Given the depth, this is an area that is
easily navigated by ships of all sizes
allowing passengers to experience the
beauty at close range.
Two of the most popular fjords in
Norway are Naeroyfjord and Geiranger –
both included on the UNESCO World
Heritage list and referred to by National
Geographic magazine as part of the best
unspoiled travel destination in the world.
Gudvangen and Geiranger, the two
innermost villages of these two fjords are
among the most popular cruise ship ports.
A range of shore excursions can be
experienced in Norway – from outdoor
activities to culture and Viking heritage,
this is an area that will attract a variety of
potential clientele.
