Good morning,
Huge bucket list booked for this year in August of these Fjords:
Trying to book excursions and day trips for this exciting trip: I have such a silly question that I am sure that experiences Norway visitors might be able to guide and direct me.
I have a silly question of sort regarding the Norway Fjord cruise we have scheduled in August on HAL.
I am in process of selecting shore excursions when we are in ports. Looking at both cruise line and excursions and other independent ones.
Example of first few days of itinerary;
Aug 19th: Eidford, Norway. In port from 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Aug 19th: "Scenic cruising of the Hardangerfjord"
Aug 20th: Bergen, Norway
Aug 21st: Flam Norway
Aug 21st: "Scenic cruising Sognefjord"
There is one more listing for Olso later on and then the same day "Scenic cruising Oslofjord"
Here is the question related to the description of these days:
Will we be sailing in/out of these ports on these Fjords to get to these port stops? I would not want to schedule an independent excursion doing the same thing if we sail in and out of these Fjords whilst getting to the port stop.
When we are in Stavanger, I have found a small excursion boat that goes down the Lysefjord to see Pulpit Rock, but do we sail on this Fjord to get to Stavanger? If I did this would it be a duplication of scenery we have already viewed?
While doing the "scenic cruising" this clearly might be before daylight or after dark? So do you miss the scenery?
Any advice appreciated and thank you in advance for your time taken if you are able to share your knowledge.
Kindly,
